Sacha Baron Cohen: It's so sad, but I have to kill off Bruno
Living with the many personalities Baron Cohen has inhabited over the last few years can't have been easy. First, he was Ali G; then Borat, the bumbling Kazakh TV presenter – each new incarnation more irritating than the last. This time round he is Bruno, a gay Austrian fashionista extraordinaire, and the star of Baron Cohen's latest film.
In recent weeks, we have seen more of Bruno than is perhaps comfortable, as Baron Cohen – who has turned getting media attention for his films into an art form – has thrown himself into a series of outrageous stunts. He has dressed up as a bull in Spain, a pink cow in Germany, and turned up in his native London in leather shorts and a bearskin, leading a marching band.
Sacha Baron Cohen comes across as a quiet, thoughtful man but he virtually has to be dragged back into his normal personality: 'When I create a character like Borat or Bruno, I learn to love them. I stay in them for a really long time, and in some ways I do become them'
Most shocking was when he dressed up as an angel for his entrance at the MTV awards in Los Angeles. Sweeping into the studio on a harness, a wing-clad Baron Cohen spiralled down towards the audience and landed face down in the lap of Eminem, exposing his naked bottom to the rapper. MTV said Eminem stormed out 'in a heated rage' after the incident, although it was later confirmed that he was in on the stunt.
