Sacha Baron Cohen Crashes Prop 8 Rally in L.A.
Originally posted 11/03/2008 11:45AM
Taking a lighter approach to a heavy topic, Sacha Baron Cohen went undercover Sunday as his alter ego Bruno – a flamboyantly gay fashion reporter from Austria – at a rally outside Los Angeles's City Hall.
At issue: ballot measure Proposition 8, which would ban same-sex marriage in California. The British comedian, as Bruno (in a blond wig and preppy outfit), effusively showed his support for the measure, the Associated Press reports.
Once photographers and reporters recognized the true identity of Bruno and attempted to descend upon him, Cohen's own camera crew worked to shield him. Eventually, he was escorted away inside a van.

Sacha Baron Cohen Makes a Scene at an Airport
Originally posted 03/31/2008 12:55PM
Sacha Baron Cohen strikes again.
This time, the alter ego of Borat and Ali G, in the guise of flamboyant Austrian fashion journalist Brüno, caused a minor scene in Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport while apparently filming his latest movie, tentatively titled Brüno.
Following Cohen's behavior with an accomplice (see video above), airport officials are said to be re-considering policies concerning permission to film inside the facility, the Associated Press reports.
But then, Cohen/Brüno is no stranger to repercussions. On his HBO show, Cohen barely escaped bodily harm when, as Brüno, he got some American surfers to moon the camera – before he announced he was from Austrian Gay TV.
Like the widescreen Borat, which proved a critical and commercial success, Brüno is expected to lampoon American social and sexual behavior through the eyes of an outsider.

Sacha Baron Cohen Says Good-Bye to Borat
Originally posted 12/21/2007 02:40PM
Sacha Baron Cohen is officially saying good-bye – or the Kazakh word for good-bye – to Borat, now that the comic character's phenomenal success leaves him unable to ambush any more unsuspecting victims.
The actor and comedian, 36, tells England's Daily Telegraph that he is forced to ditch the hapless journalist from Kazakhstan, as well his rapper character Ali G – and that it's a sad farewell.
"When I was being Ali G and Borat, I was in character sometimes 14 hours a day, and I came to love them, so admitting I am never going to play them again is quite a sad thing," Cohen says. "It is like saying goodbye to a loved one."

Baby Borat's Beverly Hills Outing
Originally posted 11/22/2007 06:00PM
Born last month, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher's daughter Olive had her first outing in Beverly Hills Wednesday. The comedic couple were spotted leaving the Four Seasons – mother and daughter in matching grey with Olive sporting fashionable pink converse and Borat star Cohen dutifully carrying the child seat. Fisher is set to focus on motherhood and has said she hasn't "got any plans to jump back into [work]," but fans can look forward to Cohen's next flick, which features his alter ego Bruno and Universal Pictures won the bidding war to produce.
