If you thought his role an Austrian fashion journalist Bruno was outrageous, or the portrayal of Kazakhstan tourist Borat was a bit over the top, then you had better prepare yourself for Sacha Baron Cohen‘s latest venture, The Dictator. A film based on a novel that the CIA believes to have been written by none other than Saddam Hussian, one of the most hated men in world history… I must say Sach’, you certainly know how to pick ‘em!
Cohen plays the lead role in the film; a protagonist named ‘Arab’ and the story follows him, as he becomes King and rules over Iraq… Er, sound familiar??
The novel is also filled with hidden messages which include Cohen’s love interest (representing the people of Iraq), who is in an unhappy marriage and her cruel rapist husband (symbolizing the United States)…something tells me this won’t be the last we hear of this story.
It’s a good job the British comic is no stranger to controversy…remember Bruno’s infamous scene when he was seen collecting an African baby out of a cardboard box on an airport baggage carousel?
The Kazakhstan’s Foreign Minister also threatened to sue him as he based Borat on him…This new roles sounds like it’s on a whole new level. Oh well Sacha, we all know all press is good press!
