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. – Isla Fisher
I don’t really watch many heist movies. Actually, I have quite eclectic tastes, but I tend to watch just foreign films. I don’t know why that is. I’m not particularly deep or anything, I just like foreign movies. – Isla Fisher
