Here’s an interesting observation: Oscar Isaac is less shady about his love life than we’ve previously been led to believe. He’s certainly less shady than Michael Fassbender, in any case. After some notable drama over discussing his girlfriend in his GQ cover profile a few months ago, Oscar Isaac walked the Golden Globes red carpet with said girlfriend, Elvira Lind. Elvira is not Maria Miranda, Oscar’s previous undercover official girlfriend, although he apparently was with Maria as late as summer 2015?
So, he’s with Elvira now. And she’s tall, blonde and bangsy. Elvira is a documentary filmmaker. She sat with Oscar at his table at the Globes, and they kissed on-camera when he won – you can see the video here. So, your new boyfriend wants people to know he has an official girlfriend. Sorry, peeps. At least you can still look at his hair and dream.
Also: Jacob Tremblay, the 9-year-old child actor in Room, loves Oscar Isaac/Poe from Star Wars. Jacob told media outlets that he got to meet Oscar at some pre-Globes events, and then the two reconnected at the Globes and afterwards. Elvira posted this amazing photo of Jacob looking at Oscar like he had just met the biggest celebrity in the world. The glow of the lightsaber is amazing too!

There were a few pictures of he and Jacob! Just the cutest. Jacob said Poe was his favourite…Jacob is a smart kid! 😉
I’m cool with the girlfriend. The fact that he’s down with women over the age of 25 just makes him 10000X more appealing!
Unlike some we could name *cough* Leo *cough*.
Exactly. It makes me love him more for having a girlfriend who seems to be of substance.

This was my thought as well. I like him more now.
Agree, I don’t have a thing about him at all but fair play to him for an age appropriate girlfriend who looks like a fully grown woman.
Well at least I now know he likes Scandinavian girls (like me!) 😉
What’s Oscar’s background/ethnicity? He is so good looking. Reminds me of a young Pacino.
Born in Guatemala, and has Guatemalan, Cuban, and French in his ethnic background.
Not that I checked or anything…. 😉
Lol! Thanks for that Mia4s 😀
Guatemalan mother. Cuban father
His family is from Guatemala. According to Wikipedia, his full name is Oscar Isaac Hernandez -Estrada (Personally think Oscar Estrada is a cooler stage name)
I thought he also had some Cuban background. Is that incorrect?
Thought ‘Estrada’ sounded familiar – it translates into English as road or highway, maybe he’d better stick to Isaac 🙂
Guatemalan American I believe.
He is not conventionally handsome, he’s like Mark Ruffalo in that way. Not the best looking man but something about him that makes you say “he can get it.”
His father is a Cuban pulmonologist in Miami.
I hate those kind of bangs, where every time the woman blinks her fringe bats.
Also – he has small hands. So I do not find him hot.
I love him onscreen ever since I saw him in “In Secret” (so hot!). Before that, I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’ in “Inside Llewyn Davis” (which grew on me over multiple viewings) and I don’t even remember him from “Drive” (mostly I remember how much I hated everything but the first 10 minutes of that movie, but I digress).
The big worry now is that everyone will notice how short he is. In “Star Wars TFA”. they were very careful to never have him stand right next to Carrie Fisher. On paper he’s 20 cm (7.5 inches) taller than her; onscreen, not so much. Also when standing next to Sonoya Mizuno and Domhnall Gleeson in “Ex Machina”. I’m thinking the height differential is more the reason they kept this girlfriend under wraps.
Wasn’t it Jessica Chastain who said he was a ladies man? Guess he trying to cultivate a good guy image for himself. Talented actor who am sure will do well.
I know she did say he was a massive flirt but I don’t know about ladies man.
He is gorgeous! That is all. I’ll keep the rest to myself 🤐

Those eyes are full of quiet heat.
I am pretty sure everyone who wasn’t willfully ignorant (for reasons) knew he had a long-term girlfriend. He wasn’t actually hiding her, there are plenty of pictures of them out and about.
That’s a cute picture of Oscar and Jacob. I’m looking forward to seeing Room. As well as looking forward to seeing Oscar in anything.
What happened to Maria? But good for him. My Legolas King.
They’re divorced.
I’ve liked him since Robin Hood and 10 Years (he’s so hot in that movie and I love the song he sings). I don’t get the whole instantly hating girlfriends/boyfriends and wives/husbands of famous people we most likely will never meet. I mean he’s on my Freebie Five list but c’mon that’s just fantasy. But I am blonde and blue eyed maybe I have a chance!!! I’m Puerto Rican but don’t look Hispanic at all LOL
She looks like she could be Anne-Marie Duff’s sister. Nice couple.
I loved Oscar Isacc in Inside Llewyn Davis. Good actor!
By the way Fassy is not that shady. Here he is holding hands with Alicia Vikander after the Golden Globes. Its official! 🙂
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3394076/Michael-Fassbender-Alicia-Vikander-PDA-leave-Golden-Globes-party.html
How is it finally PDA as per the Daily Mail when the first pics I ever saw of them was him kissing her in public?
Ugh. I can’t with this Michael Fassbender is shady narrative just because he isn’t exhibiting the behaviour people THINK he should exhibit. Plus, I’ll bet if he started being all gushy about Alicia the PR relationship crowd would get even louder.
I’m not saying they’re not in a relationship of some kind, whatever it is. But if that’s PDA, I really feel sorry for both of them. Fassbender looks drunk and she pulls her hand away when sees the paps- a very awkward moment.
and here he is gushing about them going in separate directions after the Globes.

This is the first time I ever see a gf of Oscar. She is… I want to cry
Oscar wasn’t with Maria in the summer 2015, there is photos of him and Elvira walking in the streets in january 2015 (and they posed at the Ex machina premiere in march). I think the first time I saw him with Elvira was in june 2014, when he was out with his friend Kirsten Dunst. (There are photos at the dailymail). Elvira worked on his movie, the most violent year. I think the press just continued to call her Maria.
Yeah, I was going to say the same. I’ve been a fan of Oscar’s for awhile and have seen him with Elvira for close to two years. So this isn’t a new relationship.
Also, I feel like Oscar is the new Ryan Gosling. Some women are obsessed, while others just don’t get it. For me, Oscar is not classically handsome but I like that he’s a great actor who oozes charm and sex appeal.
Yeah I was wondering…I googled Oscar Isaac and Maria Miranda and came up with him holding hands with a woman that looks exactly like Elvira. Do they actually look alike or am I just seeing photos of Elvira?
Okay. I said something down thread about this. So then she has been labeled wrong for a long time.
Lol, may be she is a double agent with two names. I only knew he had a tall blond girlfriend, never knew the name.
I think his ex-wife Maria was VERY camera shy. She never went to premieres with him. I’ve only ever seen one pic of her at some party with Oscar. She’s petite, brunette, and cute.
Maybe this is weird, but I’m so happy to see him with a seemingly interesting person. I would love to have a dinner party with these two (along with Idris Elba, Bae Du Na, Geena Davis, Dean Spade, Hikaru Utada, among others).
He is not dating an actress. Thank you universe.
Is it me or does she look like Maria? Maybe the pictures that were coming up had her mislabeled.
Probably mislabelled. Maria is brunette and distinctly Hispanic in appearance and looks nothing like Elvira.
*wipes away tears. I’m really very happy for him.
I thought Maria was his wife. He used to wear a wedding ring, I think.
I thought he’s already married.. Anyway, I am very happy for him and his new girlfriend who’s a docu filmaker. Good for him.
Yep, he was definitely married. I remember during Robin Hood promos he kept talking about his wife.
” Elvira is not Maria Miranda, Oscar’s previous undercover official girlfriend”
Actually, he was married to MM. Talked about his wife very often. They’re divorced now, apparently.
Oscar’s previous undercover official girlfriend. Whatever does that mean? official and undercover seem contradictory. Anyhow, I googled it and according to the OscarIsaacAppreciationSociety blog, it said:
“The word fiancée comes up a lot because it was plucked from a very old interview. Oscar was once engaged and then married and now divorced from Maria Miranda. That’s where the confusion comes from. Some lazy journalists assume Elvira is that fiancée from way back then. She isn’t.”

Does anyone else think he looks and sounds quite similar to the actor who plays Nick in new girl?
They look lovely together, I like the fact that he’s in a real relationship with a real woman. You can’t fake love or interest in another person – they have full body contact on red carpet, real kisses etc. I’m not even bothered by her bangs, and I love the fact that she’s taller than him and he looks so proud 🙂
