Sacha Baron Cohen seemed to be more political than ever before! Yes, the 49-year-old actor who recently attended a conservative political action conference had a scary encounter while passing the security.
The actor opened up about his upcoming sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Cohen revealed how he got panicked after being impersonated as President Donald Trump.
The actor spoke with Ellen DeGeneres on her show and disclosed that he would continue portraying Borat Sagdiyev in the sequel named Kazakh, who is a television journalist. The first installment of the film was released back in 2006 titled Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan helmed by Larry Charles, which also turned many heads for political reasons.
The Da Ali G Show star explained to DeGeneres that he went through the transformation for the sake of one sequence in the movie. However, the actor revealed that he disguised himself to pass through the security after wearing a fat suit and prosthetics. He also said that he tried not to look like Trump.
Moreover, the actor revealed that he got really nervous when the security officer was checking the actor with a wand and as soon as the wand reached his chest, it started beeping. The Golden Globe Award winner explained that he was terrified because the moment the security officer touched his body, which was a fat suit, he thought they might stop him from entering the conference.
Although he asked the security the reason for beeping near the chest and they said it happened because of a pacemaker. In contrast, when it beeped again at the lower side of his body, the security man assumed that it must be a wire connected to the pacemaker.
The actor recalled that eventually, the security let him in the conference room while he spent more than five hours in the men's toilet. Cohen also took a dig at Senior Advisor to the President, Stephen Miller, and said that if he watches this show, then he should consume more fiber as it shouldn't take long in the bathroom.
The actor made a donation of $100,000 to a lady who believed she was being filmed for Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church's documentary but it was a mockumentary movie. The 62-year-old woman named Jeanie Jones, who came to Oklahoma City, thought she is mentoring a real person called Tutar, but it was actress Maria Bakalova who portrayed the character.
