Sacha Baron Cohen has just given birth to General Aladeen, another outrageous personality in his latest character comedy, The Dictator. The British comedian continues to export his brand of risque, politically incorrect, fish-out-water comedy to the Americas, continuing the legacy of Ali G, Borat and Bruno.
Fancy embossed invitations to attend a preview of The Dictator, Sacha Baron Cohen’s new film, are being sent around Washington D.C. – ostensibly from “President Robert Mugabe and the Ministry of Education, Sport, Art, and Culture.” Zimbabwe’s art ministry has assured reporters that it hasn’t come from them.
On Monday we saw Sacha Baron Cohen dump Kim Jong-Il’s “ashes” onto Ryan Seacrest on the Oscars red carpet. Ryan didn’t think it was funny, and neither did Donald Trump, it would seem. He’s taken to YouTube to voice his displeasure – even going so far as to say Seacrest should have punched Baron Cohen in the face. See the video inside.
After speculation about whether or not Sacha Baron Cohen would be allowed to show up at the Oscars dressed as his character from The Dictator, he eventually appeared on the red carpet last night. Admiral General Aladeen also carried an urn labeled “Kim Jong-Il’s ashes.” Ryan Seacrest was the unfortunate presenter who got to interview him. Can you guess what happened next?
Sacha Baron Cohen, the man that brought us Borat, Ali G, and Brüno, has just released the trailer for his latest offering – “The Dictator.”
