AceShowbiz - Sacha Baron Cohen purchased a ring for his wife Isla Fisher to remind her of her dad after his death. The 52-year-old actor has been wed to Hollywood star Isla, 47, since 2010 and she explained that she misses being able to speak to her late dad Brian - who died earlier this year at the age of 84 - every day and to help her cope with the grief, her husband bought her a ring so she could keep her father "close" to her.
"Perhaps that's what I miss most about my dad since he left us, wherever I was in my life, he was there for me and we felt so connected," she wrote in the Daily Mail's You magazine.
"It's no exaggeration to say that I spoke with him every day and those wide-ranging, at times very silly, conversations are what got me through the Covid pandemic in Los Angeles - when the world was in lockdown and human connection was in short supply. After he died, Sacha bought me a ring so I could hold his memory close every day. It's a simple gold band with a delicate Scottish heather. It reminds me of home."
At the time of Brian's death, "The Great Gatsby" star questioned how people can go on living with people "you can't live without." Isla said alongside a picture of her dad, "How do you live without someone that you can't live without?"
"How lucky am I to have had you as my dad. You were hilarious, positive and my best friend. No matter what was going on in my life, you always asked me if I was having fun. I know this pain is going to get worse as the days between when I last saw you increase and that is very scary. I love you so much. Thank you for being the greatest father."
