Isla Fisher Has More to Protect Since Becoming a Mom

INF

There was a time when Isla Fisher was an open book, but that time has passed. Telling the Times Online that she has “more to protect now,” the 32-year-old actress says that “some topics are off-limits.” Among them are her 15-month-old daughter Olive and fiancé Sacha Baron Cohen; During the interview, Isla repeatedly checked her Blackberry for updates from a babysitter, but volunteered little about life at home. “It can be tough because motherhood is one of my most favorite things ever,” she explains.

At the opposite end of the spectrum is exercise. The producers of her new film Confessions of a Shopaholic hired a personal trainer to help Isla shed the 60 pounds she gained while pregnant, and they had their work cut out for them! “[They] said I was lucky I was blessed with good genes because I had a really bad attitude towards exercise — like stopping when it hurt or got boring and having a cup of tea and a slice of cake,” she says. “Apparently you are not supposed to do that in Hollywood.” When the cake and tea begin to add up, Isla reaches for Spanx.

“I swear that my waist is now skinnier than before I was pregnant – how do they do that? Certainly it’s nothing to do with me working out.”

Confessions of a Shopaholic is in theaters Feb. 13.

I saw the ad for Shopaholic at the cinema the other day and she did look v.slim in it – however, I was gutted that it appears to have been altered from the books, they were mine and best friends favourites at uni!

Isla is smart to keep her personal life away from the press and public. The more celebrities give, the more people want. She seems very wise about such things for her age and is doing a good job of shielding her daughter from the spotlight. While many celebrities are “too big” to ever be left alone (Britney, TomKat, Brangelina), most can make smart decisions to keep the hounds at bay. Good for her!
