Isla Fisher to say she can think of nothing worse than shopping is surprising, considering she plays a shopping addict in Confessions of a Shopaholic. The romantic comedy, based on British author Sophie Kinsella’s best-seller, is directed by P.J. Hogan (My Best Friend’s Wedding).

Fisher admits: “I shop rarely and poorly. When I shop, I just want to get in and out. I have a mission and I fulfil it.” But the actress loves to play characters unlike herself, which is why she was eager to portray Rebecca Bloomwood, a magazine writer with a passion for fashion and a mountain of debt.

She takes a job at a finance magazine in hopes of parlaying it into a more desirable gig at a fashion publication owned by the same company. Yet, even though Rebecca knows nothing about money, except how to spend it, her handsome editor, Luke (Hugh Dancy), thinks Rebecca may be just what the magazine needs.

Fisher, 33, was a little anxious about tackling a beloved modern literary character. “I felt a lot of people could be angry at me if I wasn’t able to execute it in a way they imagined the character in the book,” reveals the petite actress.

Her concerns were eased after she won over Kinsella, who serves as an associate producer on the film. “She told me after she saw the movie that I captured the essence of the character, which was the greatest compliment.”

Of course, as the central character, Fisher also had the burden of carrying the comedy and setting the tone. “I was genuinely shocked and perplexed that somebody would give me my own movie. It feels unbelievable.”

That ‘somebody’ was famed producer Jerry Bruckheimer, whose Hollywood blockbusters lean towards big-budget, effects-laden action aimed primarily at young men.

Why a chick flick? “We love the character,” Bruckheimer says. “Rebecca Bloomwood is such a unique, fresh, interesting young girl who embodies a lot of what young girls around the world deal with. Besides, her closet explodes in one scene.”

Bruckheimer says Fisher was the obvious choice to play Rebecca. The actress, who was born in Oman to Scottish parents and raised in Australia, drew rave reviews for her breakthrough role in Wedding Crashers, where she played Vince Vaughn’s off-kilter love interest. She subsequently co-starred in Definitely, Maybe; I Heart Huckabees; Definitely, Maybe; and Scooby-Doo.

But it wasn’t simply her comedic chops that made Fisher right for the leading role. “She’s a wonderful dramatic actress,” says Bruckheimer. “This movie wouldn’t work without the ability she has to pull that character off and see that she is serious.”

Fisher visited Shoppers Anonymous meetings, where she discovered various types of compulsive buyers: image shoppers, trophy shoppers, bulimic shoppers and collectors, among others. “As funny as it sounds, it’s pretty sad too,” she says.

Shopaholic was made before the economic downturn, which was partly caused by credit problems. “Obviously, it’s timely,” says Fisher. “But when we conceived the movie, it was a different economic period. The lesson Rebecca learns in the movie is a lesson we’re learning painfully. But the movie takes a responsible tone.”

Though she doesn’t like shopping, Fisher became a little more fashion-savvy while making Shopaholic. Famed costume designer Patricia Fields (who outfitted the Sex and the City gals and Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada) dolled her up in designer duds and accessories.

“At the beginning, I couldn’t believe we were spending 40 minutes discussing a belt,” Fisher recalls. “Then I began to understand there really is a sort of science to it.”

Fisher suggested having only extremely high heels in Rebecca’s wardrobe. “There’s nothing funnier than a comedic character tottering and the impracticality of wearing something that clearly doesn’t fit her and is uncomfortable. But she’s a Shopaholic so she has to have it.”

Fisher also suggested a humorous scene in which her character performs a quirky fan dance during a night out with her editor.

“I’ve had the idea for that scene in my mind for about five years and never found the right movie to put it into. There’s something funny about a girl trying to seduce a guy by doing what she thinks is a sexy dance that’s actually repulsive.”

Fisher attributes her comedic success to her willingness to go for broke. “I’ve always been someone who loves to tap into her inner idiot. I’ve always been the clown of my family, and I’ve always enjoyed mucking about. I’m just fortunate that I get paid to do it now.”

Fisher is engaged to comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) and has a 16-month-old daughter.

“How am I on a poster?” she wonders when she spots them. And then reminds herself that someone has given her a movie.

“It’s a little unnerving,” she explains.

Sitting in a plush suite inside New York’s Ritz Carlton and wearing impossibly high Jimmy Choo shoes, 32-year-old Fisher looks every bit as young as she did playing troubled teen Shannon Reed on TV soap Home And Away in the late 1990s.

But those days are long gone. Now, she has that subtle international accent peculiar to so many nomadic actors.

“That’s so annoying,” she says, sounding part British.

But still Aussie enough. “Thank you,” she says, relieved. When she is not filming, Fisher lives in London with actor/fiance Sacha Baron Cohen (of Borat fame) and their daughter Olive, 16 months.

Born in Oman to Scottish parents, Fisher was raised in Perth, lived in Sydney while part of the Home And Away cast and then left Australia in her early 20s to sate her appetite for theatre in Paris.

There, she enrolled in the well-known Jacques Lecoq theatre college – known in the industry as clown school.

Her lessons there prepared her for her latest role – one that looks set to thrust her firmly into Hollywood’s spotlight.

The bubbly Fisher plays shopping-mad journalist Rebecca Bloomwood in Confessions Of A Shopaholic, the screen adaptation of the books by Sophie Kinsella.

The role, Fisher’s first Hollywood lead, demands big, physical comedy – a challenge she met with her natural comic flair.

“It’s definitely not a hard comedy but it has some great comedic moments, some great heart and for me it was great to play in a romantic comedy where it’s not all about the romance – she’s not sitting around moping, waiting for a date – she’s someone who has a full life, a career and her friends and her family,” Fisher says.

Bloomwood constantly throws herself across tables, over desks and into large objects. It was work so bruising, Fisher wore wear knee and elbow pads in some scenes.

“I’ve always been doing a lot of physical comedy but I’ve just kept it to my private life, for my mates, now I get paid to do it – that’s pretty amazing,” she says.

Despite her passion for her work, she considers herself a mother first and foremost, and had to juggle the demands of parenthood and acting simultaneously.

Baby Olive was on set during filming and costume designer Pat Field – the stylist behind Sex And The City – had to make Fisher’s outfits newborn-friendly.

“All my costumes were breastfeeding-proof,” Fisher says. “Olive probably knew the costumes better than me.”

Blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who bought the film rights to Kinsella’s books eight years ago, hired Fisher a personal trainer to help her lose the weight she had gained during pregnancy.

“I wasn’t allowed to eat bread, pasta, muffins – the list left me nothing so obviously I was living a double life,” she says.

She told some white lies about her diet, but still managed to shed the extra weight.

“I honestly think it was breastfeeding that took the weight off,” she says.

Fisher has never been much of a fashionista – on Oscars night, she stayed home in her Ugg boots.

“The first fitting went for about 12 hours, we were having conversations about belts that went for 45 minutes,” Fisher says.

“I was starting to sweat, I couldn’t handle it at all, but as I got used to the process I learned all the lingo that goes with fashion and got really into it.

“I wanted every silhouette of the character to say ‘shopaholic’ and I wanted her in very high heels because there’s nothing funnier than a comedic character tottering on really high heels.

“I thought the bigger the better.”

She won serious praise from those who worked with her. Bruckheimer calls her “the next Lucille Ball”, while Australian director P.J. Hogan says: “I love improvisation and she has a real gift for it.”

Her fellow actors were flattering, too.

“You can see in the movie the range that she has,” says emerging British actor Hugh Dancy, who plays Bloomwood’s magazine editor love interest.

Even Kinsella, who guided the actors and direction on set, lauded her performance: “I thought Isla did an amazing job.”

So what does the woman herself think?

“It’s hard to be objective about it,” she says. “After the movie wrapped I was involved with re-shoots and it’s been a part of my life for a really long time, so for me I can’t be objective about the outcome, I have no idea how it will be received.

“I’m happy with it.”

Isla Fisher throws her head back and cackles uproariously. Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer, sitting next to her, has just said something mildly amusing that has clearly tickled her. But this isn’t a one-off. Laughing heartily is something that Isla does throughout the 30 minutes

I am in her company; she lets rip at the merest sniff of a light-hearted comment.

Frankly, it’s refreshing but it’s also a laugh that makes you clench and grimace if you’re sitting within a few feet of her, such is its unbridled power.

It’s an incongruous sound from a person of such sweet looks – with her angelic features, flowing titian locks and petite frame – but gives clear evidence as to how she’s turning ditsy, comedic roles into something of a speciality.

And for this, she gives credit to her other half, the fabulously funny Sacha Baron Cohen – aka Borat and Ali G.

“Sacha was actually the reason I got into comedy,” she says. “I was actually auditioning for a lot of dramatic roles and having no success at all and sort of losing confidence in my abilities when he recommended that I do comedy.

“You know, he always felt I was really funny and when someone as funny as him recommends that, I listened to him and actually auditioned for Wedding Crashers which ended up being my big break.”

Her role as dizzy credit card junkie and modern literary heroine Rebecca Bloomwood in new comedy Confessions of a Shopaholic (adapted from the best-selling Sophie Kinsella novel) is her first leading role and cements her place as an up-and-coming comedy talent in Hollywood.

She’s come a long way from Summer Bay and the role that first brought her to the attention of British audiences as Shannon in Aussie soap Home and Away, of that there is no doubt.

And she follows in some pretty impressive footsteps including those of former co-stars Melissa George, Naomi Watts, Guy Pearce and Heath Ledger.

Given the sheer scale of the film (with über-successful Hollywood heavyweight Jerry Bruckheimer behind it, there’s no doubting it has anything other than blockbuster written all over it) and the phenomenal popularity of the Sophie Kinsella’s books, did Isla feel any pressure in taking on the role of Rebecca Bloomwood?

“[I was] extremely worried,” she says. “When you’re in the lead of a movie, suddenly you’re more responsible for the tone of the film and then obviously the added pressure of taking on such a beloved character.

But I was so fortunate in that I was truly the biggest fan of Sophie Kinsella’s books and I’d sort of…”

She pauses, then continues somewhat breathlessly: “This is going to sound pretentious but I had the vibrations of that character since I’d read it in my imagination. The moment I started thinking about, you know, when I met with Jerry and we discussed the role … I just thought about it every day.

“Everything I did, if I was driving my car, if I was cooking, whatever I was doing I was thinking about Becky Bloomwood and what she would be thinking about and that’s sort of how it began.”

Her excitement and incredulity at having been handed the role is tangible. You get the impression she still can’t quite believe where she is and her enthusiasm is infectious.

The role also gave her the opportunity to be dressed by legendary Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field, the woman responsible for turning Carrie Bradshaw into a worldwide fashion icon.

Every girl’s dream, surely? “I’m not a fashionista,” says Isla. “I don’t have much experience in that world but I was kind of educated in the end and I feel that my own fashion style is now more brave and I enjoy dressing a lot more.

“loved wearing the costumes but they’re Rebecca Bloomwood’s costumes and I felt like her in them. I don’t know how it would have felt in my every day life in those heels!”

Ah, the five-inch heels. Well, they were Isla’s idea.

“I thought there was something funny about a shopaholic impractically buying ridiculously high heels and tottering throughout the comedy,” she says.

“I thought it would be amusing. It was less amusing, of course, when I was actually doing it every day.”

Isla continues: “The great thing about doing physical comedy in films is that if it doesn’t work it ends up on the cutting room floor so it gives you a lot more room to experiment. But I really enjoyed doing it. I’m very comfortable tapping into my inner idiot.”

A trait she has perhaps picked up from her famous other half. But which one of them does she think will be the first to tackle a dramatic role?

She says, modestly: “I don’t know. But he’s definitely a lot funnier than me.”

Confessions of a Shopaholic is currently on nationwide release.

EW: Your character in Confessions of a Shopaholic, Rebecca Bloomwood, is a plum role. How did you get cast in the film?
Isla Fisher: I was a huge fan of the books and I was sent the script –- I think it was an early draft — but I didn’t really think about it again. The next thing I know, [Shopaholic producer] Jerry Bruckheimer wanted to meet with me. I was six months pregnant [Fisher and her comedian fiancee, Sacha Baron Cohen, have a young daughter] and had already gained about 50 pounds. I could barely walk. I waddled into the meeting and we spoke a little bit about the character. And I pitched a lot of jokes, which ended up being in the movie. Normally, you pitch ideas and people go, ‘Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,’ and your ideas stay in the movie but somebody else gets the job. But Jerry picked me.

This is your first high profile role since Wedding Crashers. What kind of scripts did you get offered following that film’s success?
A lot off stuff I didn’t do. A lot of not funny ‘girlfriend’ roles in very commercial movies. That was frustrating. What’s great about today is that we have He’s Just Not That Into You, Sex And The City, Bride Wars, House Bunny, Baby Mama, Shopaholic. It feels like it’s a different time.

There’s been a lot of debate at EW about the current the movies you’ve just mentioned. On the one hand, they do frequently have great roles for women but, just as often, their message seems to be that what women should really strive for is a big wedding and a Prada handbag.
That’s a complicated topic. Am I disappointed occasionally by the lack of irony in some movies? Yes. I do consider myself to be a feminist, even though for some reason it’s considered to be a dirty word. And I do believe that Rebecca Bloomwood is a full, complete woman. She doesn’t spend the entire movie dreaming about getting a guy.

Your character pads her resume…
As opposed to her bra, which I’ve been doing my entire career.

That’s not true.
No.

But have you ever lied to get a job?
You have to list all your special skills on a form when you get an agent. There’s fencing, stage combat, horse riding, motorbike riding, Spanish, French, German, whatever. I just ticked everything. I talk about 10 languages according to that form. I even ticked the extreme sports box.

Rebecca Bloomwood’s nemesis in Shopaholic is a blond fashionista who looks to be about 9 feet tall. Does that in any way echo your Hollywood experience as a petite redhead?
Yes. I’ve auditioned so many times and been told I’m “not sporty enough” or I’m not “sexy.”

Really? I don’t want to be creepy but you’re very sexy.
No, be creepy, and let me record it.

What does “not sporty enough” mean?
There’s all these movies like Underworld where you have to beat people up.

But your resume makes clear that you’re some sort of extreme sports fiend.
Yeah, check it out: I’ll skydive into the scene and THEN beat people up. While speaking German!

When did you realize you were funny?
Oh my gosh, I don’t think I am. But I remember I was auditioning for all these dramatic movies and Sacha said to me, you are the funniest girl I know, you have to do comedy. I remember thinking, “What is he talking about?” Then I rang my dad I said, am I funny? And he said, yes, you’re the clown of the family. I knew that I was always happy to tap into my inner idiot. My party trick usually involved humiliating myself.

Could you give an example of that?
Dry humping the furniture! I’ve always been confident tapping into my inner idiot.

What makes you laugh?
I don’t know whether it’s because I’m Australian but I think Summer Heights High is amazing. I love Monty Python, Black Adder, Fawlty Towers. I’m a huge fan of British comedy.

Speaking of which, do you get worried when Sacha goes off to film as Borat or his new big screen character Bruno?
In a normal relationship you would say to your partner, “How was your day at work? Did you pick up your dry-cleaning?” Just regular questions. I literally have to ask, “Who’s suing us? Did anyone physically attack you today? Are all your limbs in place? Is there a warrant out for your arrest?”

After Sacha and Ken Davitian wrestled naked for the Borat movie did you think, “Oh, he had better take a shower before he comes home”?
Yeah, that was bad. I remember when Sacha sort of pitched that scene to me I couldn’t stop laughing. And, when you hear a joke that’s that good, you think it’s never going to be better than it was in your imagination. But it far surpassed anything I’d ever imagined.

Have you seen Bruno?
Yes. It goes even further.

Are you a shopaholic?
No, not at all. I can safely say I am not a fashionista. I see something in the shop and bring it home and it looks terrible. What’s my weakness? I always buy hair bands and then lose them and later find them all around the house in random places.

Any designers you admire?
When you work in the film business you go to premieres and stylists bring you a rack of beautiful frocks and you try them on. I gravitate towards the simplicity of Calvin Klein, I also love Stella McCartney, she just makes women look really sexy but still modest. I’m not really someone who gets off on the whole red carpet thing but there’s a lot of unspoken pressure on young women to get it right – it’s become an industry.

Do shops make you excited?
Oh yes, just not clothes shops. If I am in a bookstore, I am over the moon when I see all the different books. And I love going to hardware stores and looking at all the paint and thinking: ‘I could do so much painting in the house.’ Somehow I will always leave with lots of brushes and tins of paint.

What are your extravagances?
Probably food. I love good food and I love to eat in nice restaurants. I love Japanese food. I love Gordon Ramsay in London, he is pretty amazing.

What is your addiction?
Breast feeding. I do intend to stop before Olive goes to university but I’m not promising.

‘I can safely say I am not a fashionista. I see something in the shop and bring it home and it looks terrible’

Do you spend a lot of time working out?
Before I did this movie I’d gained 60lb (27kg). Everyone says the weight just magically dropped off me but it didn’t. I worked out with a trainer every couple of days. I don’t like junk food, just because I don’t like the taste of it, but I don’t go to the gym – ever. I’m not great on the beauty regime. I’m the girl who sometimes leaves the make-up on and falls asleep. But, you know, when you’re a mom, your sleep is a priority and everything else is sort of secondary and unfortunately a beauty regime is very time consuming. And all the hours that I could spend primping, waxing and blow-drying can be put to better use – sleeping.

Do you see yourself primarily as a comic actress?
I thought of myself primarily as a dramatic actress until Sacha said to me one day: ‘You are so funny, you need to be looking for comedic roles.’ It had never crossed my mind before. I phoned my dad and said: ‘Dad, do you think I’m funny?’ and he said: ‘Yes, you are the clown of the family, what do you mean?’ So I looked through some of my childhood photo albums and I saw photos of myself and I was always doing something crazy and I realised I was funny.

You have converted to your husband’s religion, Judaism, why is that important to you?
I love Judaism, the fact that there’s such a huge emphasis on family and, to me, family’s everything. We’re quite observant, we keep Shabbat and do Friday night dinner and celebrate the holidays. I really enjoy being part of that Jewish community. I have visited Israel recently and I love it there. I speak a bit of Hebrew and they recognise me from Home And Away so it’s great.

Where is home for you?
I was always quite nomadic so that wasn’t really important before but now, having a family, roots mean much more to me, just because it’s easier to get more sleep that way with a baby. I like LA but I do miss Australia – the beaches, the Vegemite tin cans, my friends and the smell of suncream every day.
