In between vamping for the camera, the Wedding Crashers star spoke about filming The Great Gatsby with director Baz Luhrmann in Australia.
The actress, who plays the role of Myrtle Wilson, told the magazine of the experience, 'It was thrilling and terrifying. Given the caliber of the director and cast on Gatsby, I definitely felt out of my comfort zone. I did feel like I was going to be called out and sent home at some point—you always feel very insecure, at least I do.'
She continued, 'The set was like a playground of rich costumes (his wife Catherine Martin does them) and color and music and laughter.
'Everybody cares on a Baz Luhrmann film set because everyone is so effing grateful to be there.'

The conversation shifted to family, as Isla remarked on her relationship with husband Sacha Baron Cohen.
When asked if she'd ever consider a professional collaboration with the Borat comedian, she responded, 'Personally, I think we collaborate on enough behind closed doors.
'We’re working on some really important collaborations, and I think that’s more important.'
However, she emphasized her respect of her husband's work, telling the magazine, 'Obviously, I'm a big fan of his. My favorite movie will always be Bruno, and my favorite line will always be when he looks up at the sky and goes, ''So many stars in the sky. Makes you think of all the hot guys in the world.'' So freaking random and funny.'
The couple, who married in 2010, have two daughters, Olive, five, and Elula, two.
Later Isla discussed her hiatus from acting to focus on raising the girls, explaining, 'I took three years off. It's not like you're taking a break and looking on IMDbPro to see your StarMeter falling. You're doing the most important, incredible thing.
'When you come back in, the perspective has changed. I truly believe you can't have it all and you shouldn't want to,' she added.
