After blaming China for the coronavirus, he agrees to “eat a bat” with his interviewer, who repeatedly touches his knee to egg him on.īaron Cohen first interrupts the interview dressed as a sound engineer with a large boom mic, but leaves before it’s over. “I’ll relax you, you want me to ask you a question?” Giuliani says as she giggles in response. Posing as a conservative journalist in the mold of Tomi Lahren-albeit with a strong eastern European accent-Tutar sits down with Giuliani in a Manhattan hotel suite for an “interview” in which she mostly flatters him into creepily flirting with her. “Luckily I discover his preference for womens with ample cheese-producing capacity,” he adds, referring to yet another Page Six article that claimed Giuliani had “been bragging to pals about having an affair with a married woman with ‘big boobs.’”Īfter an extended bit in which Borat tries to force Tutar to get breast implants-and a long and deeply revealing detour surrounding the COVID-19 lockdown that includes the previously-leaked prank Baron Cohen pulled on a far-right militia rally in Washington state-the film arrives at the fateful interview with Giuliani. “And also very dignified statesman of the highest order. “Rudolph was Donald’s best buddy in whole world,” Borat says in his voiceover. With Pence off the table-and, as they joke, most of Trump’s other close associates in prison-they set their sights on Giuliani. Ultimately a plan is reached to wed his teenage daughter Tutar-played brilliantly by the mostly unknown and somewhat mysterious Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova-to someone in President Trump’s inner circle. The larger premise of the consistently funny sequel, nimbly directed by Jason Woliner, is that Borat Sagdiyev must redeem himself in the eyes of his country’s premier after bringing shame on Kazakhstan with the original film. I thought about all the people he previously fooled and I felt good about myself because he didn’t get me.”Īfter watching the film, it becomes abundantly clear that Baron Cohen most certainly did “get” Giuliani. “I only later realized it must have been Sacha Baron Cohen. He then ran away,” the former New York City mayor and current personal lawyer for President Trump said. “This person comes in yelling and screaming, and I thought this must be a scam or a shakedown, so I reported it to the police. In Giuliani’s telling, he was answering questions on camera from a female reporter when they were abruptly interrupted. But when he was asked if he did anything that he might be “regretful” about, he replied, “I don’t think so, I’m trying to remember.” Also, is it just me, or did it look like George Clooney wasn’t happy to see someone stealing his prank thunder? You’ve made a powerful enemy this day, Sacha Cohen.Speaking to WABC radio that same month, Giuliani admitted that Baron Cohen was trying to capture him in a “compromising” situation. It goes without saying, but pretending to kill old ladies is my favorite kind of comedy. Anyway, tonight is not about her, it’s about me.” At least 400 in this room and at least 500 watching on TV. The cane that woman forced on me was clearly defective and I’ve got lots of witnesses. If you decide to get the lawyers involved, I will take you down just like I did your granny. “I’d like to say a few words to her family: Do not try to sue me. Thus, she’ll probably make the Oscars In Memoriam segment,” he deadpanned. But on the bright side, what a great way to go, giving an award to me. “Grace Cullington is the oldest, no, sorry, was the oldest surviving ,” Baron Cohen said following the fall. I hear Seth MacFarlane had something similar planned for the Oscars, but the producers cut it when the singing and dancing lasted 37 minutes. Then Cohen knocked “Grace Cullington” and her wheelchair off stage, pretending to kill her. Cohen then scamped around the stage in a Chaplin impersonation while the audience “ahhhed” with cuteness. But it wasn’t just a big night for extraneous modifiers, it was also the scene of a Cohen prank, that scamp!Īn elderly, wheelchair-bound woman introduced as 87-year-old “Grace Cullington, Charlie Chaplin’s oldest surviving co-star,” who was said to have worked with Chaplin in City Lights when she was five years old, presented Cohen with a cane that she said was the cane Chaplin used during the film. Something called the BAFTA Jaguar Britannia Awards was held over the weekend, where Sacha Baron Cohen was presented the Charlie Chaplin Britannia for Excellence in Comedy.
