A Palestinian official is upset about his depiction as a "terrorist leader" in Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie, "Bruno." He also accuses Baron Cohen of conducting the interview with him under false pretenses.
Well, duh.
WorldNetDaily reports:
Ayman Abu Aita, who is labeled in the movie as a "terrorist group leader," said he was shocked when he learned five days ago the film depicts a homosexual character and contains scenes including full frontal male nudity and graphic homosexual fetish sex.
Aita also slammed Baron Cohen as a "big liar" who "made up stories" when describing to CBS’s David Letterman last week the way he met Aita at an undisclosed location. Aita said he is pursuing legal action against Baron Cohen.
"[Baron Cohen] said this was a film going to help the Palestinian cause," Aita told WND. "When I heard (four days ago) what this film was about I really didn’t believe it."
