Fans are still wondering what happened between Sascha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher, as the couple announced their divorce earlier this year, revealing they’ve been separated for some time.
The revelation came as Cohen was slammed by actress Rebel Wilson for his toxic and inappropriate behavior when they collaborated on a movie together in the past.
According to a new report, Cohen is doing all he came to salvage his reputation, including getting his famous friends on his side.
Sacha Is Desperately Trying To Save His Reputation
“Sacha is in a full-blown PR crisis right now, as the end of his marriage and Rebel Wilson’s allegations are painting him as a bona fide villain. That means he needs to make this divorce as painless as possible, especially with his already fragile public image hanging in the balance,” a source claimed to In Touch.
“He has amassed a huge fortune from his film and TV work. He totally has the money to be more than fair to Isla after all their time together,” they went on. “But he also is leaning on his decades of comedy contacts who are fiercely loyal to him.”
“Even though people assume Isla is close to Owen Wilson because of their work on Wedding Crashers together, Sacha was the one who was friends with Owen first and helped get Isla in that movie,” they continued. “Similarly, he has tight relationships with Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell that are going to come in extra-handy as he navigates these unknown waters.”
Cohen’s friendship with Will Ferrell is highlighted by their collaboration on Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006). Cohen portrayed Jean Girard, a flamboyant French Formula One driver and rival to Ferrell’s character, Ricky Bobby. Their dynamic on-screen chemistry was a standout element of the film.
With Ben Stiller, Cohen worked on Zoolander 2 (2016), where he played the eccentric fashion designer Alexanya Atoz. Their shared comedic vision strengthened their professional relationship, with Stiller often praising Cohen’s fearless approach to humor.
Although Cohen and Vince Vaughn haven’t headlined major projects together, their mutual respect and overlapping circles in the comedy scene hint at a strong professional relationship. Vaughn and Cohen’s friendship, though less publicized, remains significant within their shared Hollywood experiences.
How Isla And Sacha’s Divorce Is Impacting Their Kids
Sascha and Isla haven’t finalized their divorce, with the source explaining there’s a bit of contention when it comes to the settlement. Though the former couple are trying to keep things low-key for the sake of their three kids.
“For the sake of their kids, Isla is not going to draw this out into a long fight, but she’s also not going to settle for anything less than fair from Sacha, nor should she,” the insider shared. “She was his rock of support during his rise to fame in America, and absolutely contributed to his incredible success.”
Despite the media speculation, Isla and Sacha are staying silent on the details of their separation.
