Isla Fisher had Al Roker cracking up on Tuesday when she shared a cheeky story about her costar Woody Harrelson.
The 49-year-old Australian actress, who was previously married to Sacha Baron Cohen, appeared on the Today show on October 28 to discuss her upcoming roles in Spa Weekend, Jay Kelly, and Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, which will see her reprise her role as Henley Reeves from the original 2013 thriller film.
During her chat with Al, 71, and Willie Geist, Isla opened up about doing magic tricks in the film and reuniting with the cast. However, the behind-the-scenes story that took most viewers by shock was about her co-star Woody, 64.

She recalled filming a scene for the first movie, and said, “So we were immersed in this tank and I think we shot over five days.”
Isla explained that the assistant directors were very clear, telling them, “If you need a bathroom break, just let us know.” Every cast member took turns climbing a ladder to use the bathroom—except for one.

She pointed out Woody, “who drinks a lot of water,” very rarely relieved himself.
“We were fairly certain that he needed to go,” she said, before revealing, “He kind of just stopped asking like day two. The water stayed warm around him.”
At that point of her story, Al burst into laughter rocking back and forth in his chair.
Once she continued, “I don’t want to out Woody,” the host chimed in to say, “I think you just did.”

Isla then clarified, “I don’t know if it was Woody for sure. Woody denies it.”
The host wasn’t the only one reeling from the actress’ admission. Once the show took the story to Instagram, fans were equally amused.
Accompanied by laughing emojis, one said, “when you gotta go, you gotta go. And what a convenient place for it!”
Isla and Woody took the entertainment industry by storm over 10 years ago when Now You See Me first released in theaters.

The two are returning for the third film, as well as Dave Franco, Jesse Eisenberg and Morgan Freeman.
Commenting about the reunion, Isla said, “It’s just the best. We’re like a family, a slightly dysfunctional one.
“It’s like going back to school. We all know each other’s quirks and processes,” she added.
The sequel will also see a few new faces like Ariana Greenblatt, Dominic Sessa and Justice Smith.
The new movie, which will release on Nov. 14, will focus on the Four Horsemen and a new generation of illusionists trying to bring down a worldwide criminal network.
