The Aussie A-lister slams her Home And Away origins – and gets away with it.
Hollywood star Isla Fisher has joined Aussie actress Melissa George in laying into Home and Away, while also admitting it helped launch her movie career.
“Home and Away taught me how to look good in a bikini,” she said of playing Shannon Reed on the show from 1994-97. “And how to deliver bad dialogue convincingly.”
However, in making the comments to London newspaper The Observer, the 37-year-old also gave credit where credit was due. “For a long time I was auditioning for films that weren’t very good, but I’d always get called back because I could make a terrible line sound real,” she said. “For that, I’ll always be grateful.”
Since leaving Home and Away Isla has gone from strength to strength, starring in this year’s The Great Gatsby, along with previous smashes like Wedding Crashers.
