Isla Fisher reveals her ultimate male 'icks' as she gets back on the dating scene after split from husband Sacha Baron Cohen

Isla Fisher is back on the dating scene again following her split from husband Sacha Baron Cohen, and earlier this year was seen cosying up to footballer Larry Cohen.

And now the Aussie actress has revealed what she DOESN'T look for in a man.

During an interview with KIIS FM’s The Smallzy Show alongside her Spa Weekend co-star Adam Demos, the star, 50, revealed what her biggest male ‘icks’ were.

She said that backpacks and deck shoes were her two biggest turn-offs and she would immediately leave a date if a potential suitor turned up wearing either of these items.

‘Backpack the wrong way, backpack period. If a bloke shows up in a backpack, wrap it up, Wayne. It's done,’ she said.

‘It's like you can wear a backpack, but it's if you click your backpack together, if you click it there it’s not good.'

‘And you know what's really the biggest ick, which I saw someone recently do, and he slid the bottom of his, like he was wearing those deck shoes, which are already quite aspirational and a bit of an ick. But he slipped the heel off and he was just wearing them like a plimsoll like, he was just wearing them. Like, I could see his heel, repulsive.’

She added that men who have a terrible running stance also turns her off and they should take notes from action man, Tom Cruise.

‘Unfortunately for men, I think in films, romantic films, they can give the audience the ick pretty quickly,’ she explained.

'It doesn't take much to put a female audience member off a leading man… Like, you know when they run, when a man runs on film and it's just like, it looks like a sprinkler moving. It's just wrong.

‘Like Tom Cruise has really nailed the sexy run.’

Isla was seen enjoying what appeared to be a date with South African ex-player Cohen in April this year in London’s Notting Hill, where they headed to Soho House.

Larry had his arm firmly around the Home And Away star's shoulder as he walked her to their taxi and they both had huge smiles on their faces.

Isla looked lovely wearing a cropped leather jacket, jeans and heels, while Larry wore a long black coat over a matching T-shirt and dark blue chinos.

Johannesburg-born Larry famously played for Ajax Cape Town.

He was called up by Lithuania's national team to play against England after becoming a citizen in 2014 but he was blocked by FIFA due to his heritage dating too far back.

Last year, Isla admitted she has had 'a really challenging' time after her split from husband Sacha.

In an interview in November, she revealed how she has spent the past year rebuilding her 'sense of self' post-divorce.

Isla and Sacha mutually announced the end of their 14-year marriage at the end of 2023 with the divorce finalised in June last year.

The actress, who shares three children with her ex, has revealed how she has spent the two years since the split focusing on work and herself.

Sacha's approach to single life, though, has so far been in stark contrast to Isla's.

Only three months after the exes confirmed their divorce was complete, it was reported the Borat star, 54, had moved on with a younger model - Hannah Palmer, 27.

Then the actor was photographed with social media star Kelsey Calemine, 26, who is 28 years his junior.

Speaking to NewBeauty, Isla said: 'It has been a really challenging time. I definitely feel like there's something about the divorce club that anyone in it understands in a way other people don't. It's a different grief.'

Switching to a more uplifting outlook, Isla added: 'I feel like creating a new identity after your divorce is so fun, though. You get to reflect on your values and goals, explore new interests, focus on what you want and rebuild your sense of self.'

She explained that she's enjoying having the headspace and time to focus on herself.

'It's a lot like that, reconnecting to maybe passions you had when you were a kid, but they fell by the wayside when you were raising a family,' she said.

'All the relationships that you have in your life that were not necessarily the forefront of the way that you spend your time, because you're married.

'Those relationships that are so supportive and brilliant and often really, really old get to retake centre stage. I think that's a really exciting thing.'

Isla added: 'There are lots of positives that have come about from all this - like self-exploration and just trying to be kind to myself.

'I can just give myself grace whenever I like. That's all I'm trying to do.'
