Actress Isla Fisher says she received no helping hand when she was trying to become an actress in Hollywood.
The 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' actress said she struggled to gain recognition when she first moved to Hollywood and was even snubbed by the agent who represented her husband, then-boyfriend, Sacha Baron Cohen after she was fired by her own representative, reported Cosmopolitan magazine.
"I really have had no help. In fact, the one time I did ask for help was after my agent in LA fired me. I was auditioning for all sorts of things but kept getting told 'no', so she just fired me," she said.
"So anyway, I said to Sacha, who was my boyfriend at the time, 'Can you ask your agent if they'll represent me?' And his agent said, 'No way'. It was the only favour I'd ever asked, and I was like, 'OK... Great'. But it spurred me on.
"I've had no helping hand in Hollywood. But in general I've found that when it comes to getting jobs, what's meant for you can't pass you by," Fisher said.
Fisher has daughters Olive, five, and Elula, two, with Cohen.
