Sacha Baron Cohen Relives Times He Went Too Far | The Jonathan Ross Show

This is quite, I think it was going to be quite interesting for me because I had already talked to him in character before, when he was a liji. I talked to him as Borat, which was hugely memorable and terrifying, but I'd never seen him. She interviewed him when he was being himself, so this is a first for both of them. Could you please welcome the talented Mr. Sacha Baron Cohen, come here, well you don't know what to do being yourself, I have no idea, well there is no general decision, well doesn't it feel strange not to be a character in front to an audience for you?

Yes, it feels bad if that's the case. I regret being beautiful being those guys because there are such strange comic creations. Maybe for you I hope it's more different. I mean, coming out as Borat certainly requires a certain amount of crazy confidence. Well, the problem with Paula originally was, ladies, my wife, yes, there was an interesting decision which was that if you see that the nipples are covered, yes, yes, it's street friendly, that's old school sex, yes So, be yourself, what kind of waiter when you are yourself, because I think of you. You're a smart person for sure, but you fit in well with the Hollywood crowd.

Are you comfortable with other famous people? Oh, no, no, I'm too afraid to be next to Amy. First of all, fine, but I've passed a few. years in Hollywood and it's been a disaster, actually because socializing has been very difficult for me. I want to party the first week I was there and Jim Carrey was there, he was complaining about being single and something that was a pretty attractive woman happened like oh, she's looking at him, she, she, she looks like she's up for it, he says, that's my daughter, I guess they have 20 more, but, um, let's talk about your Ali G was your first kind of really successful creation, yeah, now, when he was the first.

Great, his name wasn't even Ali G. I think it was just a general generic term that you missed. Yeah, well, we actually filmed it, I think in the next session on this 11 o'clock

show

. In the '90s, like old school, they came out and said we wanted to do this character called young Ordo, he played with his bees. I came back, I said what's up with this character, you know, and I came up with the name Ali G. Yeah, if you were talking to a very important upper class person, they'd think he could actually be that dumb, yeah, it plagues their prejudices, but it's some psychological levels, it wasn't that big of a joke, yeah, well, you're trusting and playing. outside of what is especially in this country a certain innate politeness yeah, what would happen in America is fine, you know, so what I do is I walk into the room and someone like Pat Buchanan, who was a Republican presidential candidate , would you do it.

Get to know him yeah this is for you America you know they were even more polite so something like Pat Buchanan the idea was I would try to convince him he was an idiot before the cameras rolled yeah so I got you , you know it's evil to be here. and I go, you know, where are we and he goes? We're in Washington DC in Washington DC and I go, it's that knee, America, you go, yeah, that's evil America, oh look, it'll be America, you know, in a few weeks. I was open to going to the US, the US, America are the same thing and I go, okay, let's agree to disagree, I say dad, let's get this out, let's get this out, but yeah, so, ya You know, we won't come like Borat the first.

What I do is go, someone is going to break into your house. I know you have a lot of criticism from Kazakhstan itself, yes, then you were very angry because I hosted the MTV Awards as Borat, yes, and I pretended that his premiere as Prime Minister now to buy from come on, I go now I put on my motorcycle and I knelt down and I kissed his crotch yes, they got very angry and decided that we are going to make sure that this is not our prime minister, our prime minister, they have not gone to MTV Awards and get oral relief by spending about 30 million dollars on a campaign to

show

that they they were the real Kazakhstan and that's annoying, yes, yes, but in the meantime what I decided was that they got so angry that their prime minister contacted me and flew to Washington to complain to the American president, so I heard he was coming, so I thought, "Damn, I'm going to Washington." I figured out the half-hour window in which I would be outside the Kazakh embassy and in the White House and at that time.

I decided to hold a press conference pretending to be the real Kazakhstan. This atchoo comedian is not a real cousin. He controls the media. What excites me is that what you're doing is actually a lot of fun and also quite dangerous. Sad, there must be. I have been, I mean, they take that seriously. Some

times

you must feel like maybe it could go too far, maybe you would be in real danger. Yeah, well, there were a few

times

when you know things got a little hairy. No pun intended, but yes. I know it would get a little complicated from time to time.

There was a time when we did this cage match at the end of this movie for Bruno. Bruno is this gay Austrian character. The idea was to build this ultimate fighting arena and we had like 2000, how would you describe them? kind of pretty violent people in Arkansas, oh yeah, and basically the idea was that I had a lawyer and he actually had his base in India. We had all these types of Indian lawyers who, like the India-based lawyer, were cheaper. We literally had a guy who was. like the Arkansas law expert did well in the McKenzie v.

State of Arkansas case because of the way it was actually his way of speaking that became the basis for a character I did in Madagascar ping Chula Me like to move it, move it you know they see, he said, okay, he gets whatever you have. I'm going to break his English accent now. I guess whatever you do is going to be American, whatever you do, okay, is that me, where's whatever. Don't c

ross

a state line and incite. a riot because that is a federal crime in principle for five years. I understand what the problem is. I'm c

ross

ing a state line to incite a riot.

My boyfriend and I in the movie, unlike my boyfriend at home, yeah, we would basically have a fight. and then he starts kissing and having close sex in the arena you are in front of Ultimate Fight fans and I stopped kissing my boyfriend what do we do here and the lawyer said you know peace in the mouth but no you know you can't kiss on the nipples. I'm like playing with the nickel these 15 notes, you know, the direct finger should not be close to the rectum, the palm is open, the palm is fine in the anus, the open palm is fine, you know, the whole rectum, take it and then basically these guys.

I start throwing these metal chairs and I'm laying with him on the floor and I think I see the first chair land and I think if I lie on my back I can move, okay let's talk about your new character, don't be him. Started at Grimsby in the open sea on 24 February. It's curious, tell us about him, who he is and where he comes from. Well, the idea was that you had a kind of James Bond character and we thought who would be his ideal brother and we thought. This guy in his underpants is from Grimsby anyway and I spend a bit of time in Grimsby and in the north of England originally they didn't, he was some kind of football hooligan, as it turned out he wasn't, but I

went

. to blow up Grimsby when the local pubs there and a guy comes and goes there you're not there, I'm not okay, I said what are you doing, he goes I'm an eel because I'm a Neil Diamond impersonator, name any song I said Sweet Caroline, he says : How is that not the worst?

New and diverse examines the facts, sir. Sacha Baron Cohen
