Borat, Bruno, And Now???


Sacha Baran Cohen went from Borat, a Kazakhstani TV reporter travelling across the United States to Bruno, a fame driven fashionista, but he’s not stopping there. Of course not, he wouldn’t be Sacha Baron Cohen if he stopped there! 2011 brings us with a new character, a Eruopean pop star. He will be a singer who enters the Eurovision Song Contest, an annual singing competition ABBA won last year.

At first Cohen wanted to use his fame obsessed Austrian character, Bruno, but he and his writing partner Dan Mazer thought of just creating a completely new character. A source said: "He and Dan thought it would be better if Sacha dreamt up another character, and the scope for another oddball creation is huge."

But we don’t have to wait for Sacha till 2011…the eccentric actor has agreed to play Spanish twins in a new movie “downsizing”. He will play both brothers who are identical with the exception of the difference in their height. Who knew identical twins could defer in height!!!! The new movie will also start Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep.

We all know Sacha’s style and fearless actions so Spain better get ready because who knows what antics he’ll be up to.

Male Stripping and Kissing: Sacha Baron Cohen Pranking Again?

Arkansas crowds came out for the cage fight and the $1 beers, but what they got was unexpected. Police said that instead of a brawl the two fighters ripped off each other's clothes and kissing - a stunt suspected of being orchestrated by Sacha Baron Cohen.

Matt Labov, Baron Cohen Los Angeles publicist, said he had no comment on the faked fights. Baron Cohen is set to release a film next year.

"We had a contract for cage fighting. We were deceived," said Dwight Duncan, president and CEO of Four States Fair Grounds in Texarkana, where the first of two Arkansas fights raised suspicions last month.

The day after the first incident, "Blue Collar Brawlin'," was hosted at the Fort Smith Convention Center.

Fort Smith police Sgt. Adam Holland said organizers told him a character named "Straight Dave" would goad a planted audience member into the ring for a fight. He was told the two men would wrestle, rip away some clothing and share a brief kiss reminiscent of Baron Cohen's kiss with Will Ferrel in "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."

Producers said "there would be a romantic embrace," Holland said. "They said it was kind of to essentially make fun, poke fun at wrestling - two guys rolling around on the floor, all sweaty."

An elaborate array of cameras caught the crowd of 1,600 reaction to the act, which almost crossed the city's morality laws, Holland said. The men stripped down to their underwear, began kissing and rubbing each other.

The audience and other fighters became enraged, the sergeant said.

"It set the crowd off lobbing beers," he said. "They had beers in plastic cups. Those things can get some distance on them actually."

Holland said it took 45 minutes to clear out the convention center, while the two actors escaped through a predetermined escape tunnel.

Those in attendance were told by several signs on display that they'd be filmed, Holland said, and signed waivers before the event. Convention center sales director Karin Hobbs declined to name the event's sponsor.

Baron Cohen gained fame in for his 2006 film "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," where he played a bumbling reporter from the Asian nation.

Baron Cohen is currently producing a film featuring Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion reported featured on "Da Ali G Show" - the same program Borat evolved from. On the show Bruno would often interview unsuspecting subjects in the South.
