The two originally met at a party in Sydney, Australia. Baron Cohen later told The New York Times about their initial encounter, calling Fisher “hilarious”.

We were at a pretty fancy party, and she and I connected via making fun of the other people there. I knew immediately. I’m not sure if she did.”

Baron Cohen gained to prominence in the 1990s with his Ali G character, a famed mock wannabe mobster turned comic celebrity.

In Baron Cohen’s 2016 film Grimsby, Wilson revealed that she experienced being asked to do tasks that were deemed derogatory to women or her size.
