Isla Fisher "fulfilled a comic dream" in her new movie.

The Australian actress stars as Becky Bloomwood in 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' and says she achieved a long-held acting ambition when she got to do dance in one scene.

She explained: "In regard to the fan dance, it's always been a comic dream of mine to attempt to seduce a man doing a dance that's actually repulsive.

Isla says she particularly enjoyed working opposite Hugh Dancy on the movie because he allowed her to play even heavier on her comic side

"So the opportunity of doing that arose during this movie and I embraced it and I really enjoyed every minute of it.

"It wasn't choreographed. I'm embarrassed to admit, my own moves."

Isla says she particularly enjoyed working opposite Hugh Dancy on the movie because he allowed her to play even heavier on her comic side.

She added: "I think Hugh's a wonderful dancer and what I really loved about Hugh is that he came to the movie and took it seriously as if he was in a dramatic movie, which was so important.

"As a result, he played the greatest straight man and it gave me, playing Becky Bloomwood, somewhere to go and to be more outrageous. The comedy was grounded in reality because of him."
