'Borat' star sexier than Johnny Depp, says wife

Hollywood beauty Isla Fisher has gushed about her 'Borat' star husband saying that he is sexier than co-star Johnny Depp.

The actress is married to lanky funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen, who famously posed in a lime green mankini.

She worked with Depp on new animated film 'Rango', voicing the character of his love interest Beans, and while they were set to stage a real kiss in the sound booth, Isla didn’t lock lips with the Hollywood hunk.

She revealed: “I was supposed to kiss him but on the day I had a little cold and so I didn’t want to do that with him – but he’s the second sexiest man in the world after my husband.”

Fisher also compared Baron Cohen's body to that of David Beckham

She told Red magazine: “My husband has the body of David Beckham, the brain of Stephen Hawking and the style of Tom Ford – a rare combination.”

She added: “He’s sexy and his morals are pretty hard to beat.”

Australian star Fisher said her husband’s ability to “cause chaos”, throwing himself into confrontational, real-life scenes, meant she was often concerned about his welfare.

“Unlike most wives who can say: ’How was your day at work, darling?’, I have to say: ’Are you getting sued? Have you been arrested? Are you in jail? Are all your limbs still attached?’.”

Fisher – whose films have included 'The Wedding Crashers' and 'Confessions Of A Shopaholic' – said Baron Cohen persuaded her to move into comedy.

“I was going up for all these dramatic roles and not getting them until Sacha said: ’You’re so funny, you should be going for comedy’. It had never crossed my mind,” said the mother-of-two.
