Her father lives in Frankfurt, Germany and Nicaragua, and her mother in Athens, Greece.

She is so much fun. Movie with he ended. I googled her. I’m staring at her pic and I’m thinking she looks Arabic, but I decided to google “is Isla Fisher Jewish or Arabic” due to her name ending in er. Imagine my surprise when I saw that she is both! First I find out she’s Jewish (converted, religion only) and then I find that she was born in Oman?? But to Scottish parents? OH, no, no, no, no, NO!!!
Her mother got some ‘splainin to do cos Isla is an Arab! Look into her eyes. Look at her face. Let her hair turn black in your mind, she’s looking more than half Arabic. What’s going on? What was her mother doing in Oman while daddy was at work? DNA test is in order. Maury says: “Brian, you are NOT the father!” This happens to a LOT of men. You who are lurking here? Yeah, you: the Universe demands your kid take a DNA test. You’ll be surprised!
Anyway, either bet, I win: she’s both Jewish (now) and Arabic, a beauty and a fine actress! (And part Scottish from her mom?)
lol
She would die under Omani sun with her phototype.
