Isla Fisher explains 'ultimate dating ick' that put her off new love interest after Sacha Baron Cohen divorce
Isla Fisher has shared a dating ick she has found that she has since separating from Sacha Baron Cohen.
The pair separated back in 2023, making a joint filing to end their marriage, and Fisher has now confirmed that she is dating again.
But it seems that there is one thing that Fisher has found that she cannot deal with when it comes to dating, which she shared with Overheard Happy Hour on 30 August.
Icks have a tendency to be something very specific and seemingly small, and this one was no different.

“I have a dating ick that happened recently,” she said. “I liked somebody. His dog ran away and he chased his dog. But instead of chasing upright, he ran low with his hands outstretched, like a cartoon.”
Joking about how it played out, she added: “The ick was growing and growing and by the time he caught the dog, he had lost the *****.”
It seems that running is a theme for Fisher as well, as she described that how a man runs can be a turn off for her.
“You know when a man runs on film and it's just like, it looks like a sprinkler moving?” she said. “It's just wrong."
Nonetheless, she did say that it's possible to get round the running, suggesting that Tom Cruise could be inspiration as he 'has really nailed the sexy run'.
Fisher went on to say that there is one big ick that she has - heels. Not high heels, but when she sees a man's 'repulsive' heel in footwear.
Since her divorce Fisher has said that she has leaned more on her friendships with women as well, opening up to E! News.
“I'm much stronger than I thought I was," she said, "and I would say that my friendships, my female friendships, have really been instrumental to me discovering or recovering that strength. I'm incredibly grateful.”
Fisher met Baron Cohen at a party in Sydney in Australia, with Baron Cohen saying that they had hit it off after 'taking the mick' out of other attendees.
Speaking to the New York Times in 2020, he said: “She was hilarious. e were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people in the party. I knew instantly. I don’t know if she did.”
They would go on to get engaged in 2004, before marrying in 2010 and having three children together.
The pair would be married for 13 years before taking to social media to confirm that they had made the mutual decision to end their relationship, filing for divorce in 2023.
"After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years we are finally putting our racquets down," the statement said. "In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage."
They added: "We have always prioritized our privacy, and have been quietly working through this change.
"We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy."
