Who is Sacha Baron Cohen?

• Sacha Baron Cohen is a comedian and actor who is
  known for making up strange characters. On Da Ali
  G Show, his interviews with celebrities who
  didnt know he was a want tobe rapper made people
  laugh. Later, he brought Borat, an oversexed
  visitor from Kazakhstan, and Brüno, an Austrian
  fashion correspondent, to the big screen. In The
  Dictator and Grimsby, Baron Cohen also played his
  own characters for the first time. He has also
  been in movies like Talladega Nights, Sweeney
  Todd, Hugo, and Les Misérables.

Early Life

• Sacha Noam Baron Cohen was born in London on
  October 13, 1971. He was the middle child and
  grew up in a suburb of London. His father ran a
  few clothing stores, and his mother taught people
  how to work out. As a teenager, Baron Cohen loved
  to breakdance and was part of a Jewish youth
  group where he got his first acting job.

Education

• Baron Cohen went to a kibbutz in Israel for a
  year and then went to Christs College, which is
  part of Cambridge University. He studied history
  and also performed with the famous comedy group
  at the university, the Cambridge Footlights.
  Peter Cook, John Cleese, Stephen Fry, Hugh
  Laurie, and Emma Thompson are just a few of the
  other people who have worked on Footlights.

Da Ali G Show

• Baron Cohen worked at his craft by doing stand-up
  comedy, just like a lot of other comedians had
  done before him. His first job on TV was to host
  a show for young people. In the late 1990s, Baron
  Cohen got a part on The 11 OClock Show as a
  white want tobe rapper named Ali G. This
  character made him stand out. Later, he had his
  own show called Da Ali G Show.

Music Video

• Ali G made a cameo look in the music video for
  Madonnas hit song Music from 2000. Ali G
  Indahouse, his own full-length movie, came out in
  2002. Even though that movie didnt do well,
  Baron got to show the barely literate, almost
  incomprehensible character to American audiences
  in a new version of Da Ali G Show. When Boutros
  was the head of the United Nations, he asked him,
  Is Disneyland a member of the U.N.? Andy
  Rooney, a commentator for 60 Minutes, got so mad
  at Ali G that he cut off the interview. But Ali G
  had already asked the news veteran, Have
  journalists ever put out the news for tomorrow by
  accident?

Documentary about the Country

• Borat went all over the United States to make a
  documentary about the country. He talked to
  people and got into some strange and sometimes
  disturbing situations. The website for the movie
  said that Borats backwards behaviour causes
  strong reactions around him, revealing biases and
  hypocrisies in American culture.

8
The Borat Scandal

• Borat Sagdiyev, a man-child TV star from
  Kazakhstan who is oversexed and bigoted, was the
  next one of Baron Cohens characters to get a lot
  of attention. Borat got his start on Da Ali G
  Show. In 2006, he was the star of his
  own documentary film. Borat Cultural Learnings
  of America for the Benefit of the Glorious Nation
  of Kazakhstan was a surprise hit at the box
  office, making more than 128 million.

9
Movie

• Not everyone, though, was laughing. After the
  movie came out, several lawsuits were filed by
  people who didnt like it, including the
  now-famous frat boys, who said that Baron Cohen
  had tricked them. He said in response to this
  charge, This was nothing like Candid Camera.

10
Foreign Ministry

• In the movie, Borat showed some of the people he
  met explicit photos of himself and his sister
  and said that the country made wine from horse
  urine. A representative for the countrys foreign
  ministry, Yerzhan Ashykbayev, said that they were
  thinking about going to court against Baron
  Cohen. We cant say for sure that Mr. Cohen
  isnt following a political order from someone to
  make Kazakhstan and its people look bad, he
  said.

11
Borat Subsequent Movie film

• In Borat Subsequent Movie film, which will come
  out in 2020, Baron Cohen brought Borat back to
  life. The movie won the 2021 Golden Globe for
  Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and
  Baron Cohen won for Best Performance by an Actor
  in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.

12
A Lot of Trouble before Film Launch

• Indeed, even before the film turned out in
  theaters, it and its star caused a lot of
  trouble. A woman filed a lawsuit because she said
  she was hurt while working on the movie in may
  2009. Soon after that, Baron Cohen, dressed as an
  angel, fell into rapper Eminems lap at the 2009
  MTV Movie Awards because his wire harness
  broke. Eminem then cursed and threatened Baron
  Cohen while he was on stage. It turned out that
  the two of them had planned the joke together.

13
Attention Helped the Movie

• The attention helped the movie do well at the box
  office. After its first weekend, Brüno was No. 1
  at the box office. Even most of the critics liked
  the movie, though some were bothered by how much
  LGBT culture was made fun of.

14
Republic of Wadiya

• In The Dictator (2012), Baron Cohen played
  Admiral-General Aladeen, the dictator of the
  made-up Republic of Wadiya, on his
  fish-out-of-water journey through New York City.
  This was similar to what happened in the previous
  films based on the comic. Baron Cohens usual
  assortment of outrageous jokes were there, but
  the critical response was not as positive as it
  had been in the past.

15
Talladega Nights Other Movie Roles

• Baron Cohen has done other things on the big
  screen than play his own characters. In
  Madagascar (2005) and its two sequels, Baron
  Cohen voiced Julien, the king of the lemurs. The
  actor also played the station inspector in Hugo
  (2011), which was a major supporting role, and he
  went back to musicals with the star-studded cast
  of Les Misérables (2012).

16
Tweet

• Baron Cohen tweeted an old video clip of an
  angry-looking Donald Trump insulting him on July
  4. He then tweeted another clip from his upcoming
  show, in which he gets former Vice President Dick
  Cheney to sign his waterboarding kit. Previous
  Alaska Governor Sarah Palin composed a
  long Facebook post in which she complained about
  being tricked into doing an interview with a
  disabled U.S. veteran, who turned out to be Baron
  Cohen in disguise.

17
Marriage

• Baron Cohen introduced his right-wing conspiracy
  theorist Billy Wayne Ruddick in an interview with
  Bernie Sanders. Other new alter egos include
  Israeli anti-terrorist expert Erran Morad, who
  convinces former Senate Majority Leader Trent
  Lott and other current congressmen to support his
  Kinderguardians programme to arm children. He
  got married to Isla Fisher and had kids.

18
Personal Life

• Baron Cohen is very private about his personal
  life, but in 2007 the good news got out that he
  and the Australian actress Isla Fisher, who was
  his girlfriend at the time, had their first
  child, a daughter named Olive.
