Isla Fisher's sleepless nights over Shopaholic
26 Feb 2009
ISLA FISHER was so terrified about starring in CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC, she'd wake up in the middle of the night worrying about filming.
The 33-year-old took on her first leading role in the big screen adaptation of Sophie Kinsella's books about Becky Bloomwood, a financial journalist who struggles to keep her shopping addiction under control.
The responsibility was a lot for the petite actress to shoulder - and she found herself waking at the crack of dawn to mentally prepare for a day on-set.
She tells Moviehole.net, "(I would wake up) between 4.30 and 5.30.
"I'd never been the lead in a movie before, obviously there's the fear that goes along with being responsible for the tone of the film, then there's the actual physical endurance side, and that was sort of like running a marathon."
