"If you marry someone that you have a really good friendship with and everything else seems to fall into place," the actor told the outlet. "You still get butterflies in your stomach and people sort of tell you that wears off after a few years," she added. "But when you're with the right person, actually it just doesn't."
And, the best part of it all is that she can share also share the big screen with the person she loves.
Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron worked together on 'The Brothers Grimsby'
It's not always you get the opportunity to work alongside your partner especially when it comes to making a movie. But, that wasn't the case for Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen. The couple first got the rare chance to work together in the 2016 film "The Brothers Grimsby," according to Brides. And, for Fisher, it was quite the experience.
"He's such a perfectionist," she said during her appearance on "Lorraine." "He'll do everything and anything to get the best joke possible into the movie, so it was definitely inspirational. He's so funny on set and it was a lot of fun."
Aside from working together and spending the past two decades with each other, both Fisher and Cohen have been very open about their support for one another. After winning two Golden Globes for "Borat: Subsequent Movie Film," Cohen gushed about how "understanding" his wife is. "Thank you to my incredibly patient wife Isla, who has put up with all my madness," he said (via People). "I'm very lucky to have it." Meanwhile, Fisher credits her husband for the reason she got into comedy. She told People in a separate interview, "He said, 'You're one of the funniest people I know. You should be doing comedy.'" Sounds like a match made in comedy heaven.
