Has Sacha Baron Cohen finally revealed himself?
The actor, who isn’t usually seen in public not in one his of many personas, agreed to a rare interview as himself with the BBC.
In the interview, he talks about why comedy is an inherent part of the Jewish identity, stating that “there is an emphasis on comedy within Judaism.”
He also talks about his inspiration for his newest character in “The Dictator,” saying that he finds certain dictators hilarious, vicious and ludicrous. Col. Gadhafi, for instance, who “dressed unintentionally like a 60-year-old woman.”
Yes, I think we can all see the humor in that, too. The video, posted below, is worth a watch:
