Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen enjoyed a night out in Boston
The "Wedding Crashers" actress and her "Borat" star husband dined in the West End.
Actress Isla Fisher (“Wedding Crashers”) managed to take a break from filming her new movie in Boston to enjoy dinner with husband Sacha Baron Cohen (“Borat”) at a West End spot.
Fisher and Baron Cohen enjoyed dinner Saturday night at Scampo, chef Lydia Shire’s Italian spot at Liberty Hotel. The pair supped cauliflower soup, spaghetti aglio e olio, and Dover sole, accompanied by three glasses of wine.
Fisher first arrived in town in late January to film “Godmothered,” an upcoming comedy co-starring Jillian Bell (“22 Jump Street”) set to be released on Disney+. The movie filmed in Marblehead, Charlestown, the North End, and near the Boston Public Garden.
Set at Christmas time, the film is about Eleanor (Bell), a young, inexperienced fairy godmother-in-training living in “The Motherland” who learns that her profession will soon cease to exist. Determined to prove that the world still needs fairy godmothers, she finds a letter from Mackenzie, a 12-year-old girl in distress, and sets out to find her. Eleanor then discovers that Mackenzie (Fisher) is now a 40-year-old single mom working at a Boston news station. Her husband passed away several years earlier, so Mackenzie has given up hope on “Happily Ever After,” but Eleanor is determined to “give Mackenzie a happiness makeover, whether she likes it or not.”
