British comedy actor Sacha Baron Cohen, who played Borat and Ali G., crashed a Milan Fashion show by jumping onto the stage and strutting along the catwalk in character for his new movie "Brüno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt."
Telegraph has the story:
Baron Cohen and his team used fake passes to fool security guards into letting them into a backstage area of a show by the Italian label Iceberg.
One of the comedian's team, dressed in a head-to-toe velcro suit, caused chaos by running around and careering into clothes racks.
In footage aired on Italian television, flustered fashionistas screamed "security, security" until the man was manhandled away by security guards.
Here's a video clip of the stunt (he was arrested), as taken by an Italian news crew: Hit play or go to Link [YouTube]
Have despised his brand of humor. After 2 minutes of Ali G, I turned off my tv, cut off the cord, threw it in front of a train, then washed my eyes with bleach.
Never saw Borat - sounded like a dumb idea for a movie. Now, he's just trying to prolong our agony?
Only watching two minutes of Sasha is like people that only watch 2 minutes of Stephen Colbert before deciding that they hate him. You need to first understand what's going on or you miss the satire of their shtick. I made the same mistake when Ali G was first on, and didn't give it a chance until a friend forced me to a few years later.
By the way, even if the movie doesn't SEEM good, I would at least give it a chance, considering it was one of the best-reviewed films of 2006 (http://www.metacritic.com/film/awards/).
I've obviously seen to many ugly-ass fashion shows.
It's all about laughter...nothing else.
