Isla Fisher: Isla Fisher is opening up about dating in her 50s. The actress recently shared exactly what puts her off potential partners.
Her comments come after her divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen was finalized in 2025.
Fisher appeared on Australian radio show The Smallzy Show on KIIS FM. Hosts asked her to name her top dating "icks." She didn't hold back.
Backpacks made the list first. Fisher said any man showing up with one is an instant dealbreaker.
She joked that clicking the straps together only makes it worse.
Footwear choices also drew her criticism. Fisher described watching a man wear deck shoes with the heels slipped down like slides. She called the look "repulsive."
The actress didn't stop at fashion. She also weighed in on how actors move on screen. Fisher said a poor running style can ruin a leading man's appeal instantly.
She singled out one actor as the exception. Fisher praised Tom Cruise for mastering what she called "the sexy run." She said most actors fail to pull off the same effect.
