Two years ago, Fisher shared ablack-and-white throwback photographof her father on Instagram.
“This is my dad, Poppa Fish. I love him, he’s the greatest and I am so thankful to have him in my life ❤️,” theWedding Crashersstar captioned her post.
“No way. Looks like borats dad 🤣🙊,” one Instagram user wrote as another added, “Borat Sr.”
“Very Niice!” one other fan wrote, channeling Borat’s signature catchphrase.
While appearing on the Australian television programThe Projectin spring 2021, Fisher put any theories to rest and laughed when asked directlyif her dad was the real-life inspiration for Borat.
“My father has also dabbled in many types of facial hair,” she shared at the time with a chuckle. “He’s grown a long beard, a short beard, you know, sideburns, no sideburns, a handlebar mustache, pencil-thin mustache.”
“He’s definitely rocked many looks over the ages,” she added.
“You’re right,” Fisher said. “Inthat [Instagram] photo, it does seem like it’s a nod to that character. But no, he’s just a very dapper gent expressing himself.”
