Cohen celebrates 40th with boat trip

Funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen celebrated his 40th birthday this week by embarking on a boat trip with his wife Isla Fisher and their two daughters.

The Cohen family headed Down Under last week as Australian actress Fisher prepares to film scenes for her role in Baz Luhrmann's new movie version of The Great Gatsby.

The Borat star turns 40 on Thursday and to celebrate, the family took to the waves off the coast of Sydney for a fun-filled boating trip.

Fisher was seen helping the couple's two children - Olive, three, and one-year-old Elula - into bright yellow life jackets as their craft pulled away from the dock.
