Al Roker had tears of laughter streaming down his face during the latest episode of the Today show, thanks to a cheeky revelation from Isla Fisher. The 49-year-old actress, known for her roles in "Wedding Crashers" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic," dropped by the show on October 28 to chat about her upcoming projects, which include reprising her role as Henley Reeves in the upcoming "Now You See Me: Now You Don’t."
During the chat, she shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes story involving her co-star Woody Harrelson, which left both Al and viewers in stitches.
Isla recalled filming a scene from the original "Now You See Me" movie where the cast had to shoot underwater over several days. She humorously explained how the assistant directors advised them to request bathroom breaks whenever needed. However, Woody, who "drinks a lot of water," seemed to skip them after the second day, resulting in some noticeably warm water around him.
“I think you just did,” Al Roker chuckled as Isla playfully tried not to 'out' Woody.
The amusing anecdote had the host rocking in his chair with laughter, and Isla quickly noted, "I don’t know if it was Woody for sure. Woody denies it."
Once the tale hit social media, fans couldn't help but join in on the laughter. One viewer wittily commented, "When you gotta go, you gotta go. And what a convenient place for it!" Isla and Woody, who have been delighting audiences since the first movie over a decade ago, are set to return alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman for "Now You See Me: Now You Don’t," releasing November 14.
Isla expressed her excitement for the reunion, likening it to "going back to school" with a "slightly dysfunctional family." This time around, a few new faces will join the cast, including Ariana Greenblatt, Dominic Sessa, and Justice Smith, as they tackle a worldwide criminal network.
