Sacha Baron Cohen Says
He's Done Playing Borat.
Cohen spoke to 'Entertainment Tonight'
about his decision.
It got too dangerous, Sacha Baron Cohen, to 'Entertainment Tonight'.
There were a couple of times I had to put on a bulletproof vest to go and shoot a scene, and you don't want to do that too many times in your life, Sacha Baron Cohen, to 'Entertainment Tonight'.
I was pretty lucky to get out this time, so no, I'm not doing it again. I'm going to stay with the scripted stuff, Sacha Baron Cohen, to 'Entertainment Tonight'.
The character of Borat was originally
featured on 'Da Ali G Show' in the early 2000s.
Cohen's fictional journalist gained widespread fame in the the 2006 mockumentary, 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.'.
A sequel, 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,'
was released in 2020.
One of the scenes in which Cohen felt most anxious was when he attended a far-right rally.
In this one you're going, 'Okay, if a bunch of guys with guns come from that side of the stage, have I got a way to get out? What happens if someone shoots me? What if a bunch of people start shooting me?', Sacha Baron Cohen, to 'Entertainment Tonight'.
Yeah, I don't want to do it again. I got away with it. I'm not pushing my luck again, Sacha Baron Cohen, to 'Entertainment Tonight'
