Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno Invades Milan’s Fashion Week

Bruno at Fashion Week in Milan

I have been trying like crazy to stay away from news regarding Sacha Baron Cohen’s upcoming film, which is based on Borat’s crazy Austrian fashionista cousin Brüno, but this is just too good. Up until now, the reason we have stayed away from the news is that by reporting it, we could be somehow infringing upon your later enjoyment of the film. But as you look at the image above and read the explanation below, I think you’ll understand that I just couldn’t pass this one up.

According to Telegraph UK, Baron Cohen and his team used fake passes to fool security guards into letting them backstage at the Italian label Iceberg’s Milan Fashion Week show. While one of his team members created a diversion back stage — which, coincidentally involved a man in a head-to-toe velcro suit — Brüno (Baron Cohen) slipped out onto the runway in what can only be described as something out of the Harry Potter universe.

Bruno is due out sometime in May 2009, and is expected by fans to be a hilarious repeat performance akin to Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. And considering the fact that Borat marks the last time that I actually peed myself in a movie theater, I would tend to agree.

Are you anxious to see Sacha Baron Cohen’s next film?

    Wow, you peed during Borat? He was a kinda funny character in da Ali G show, but I thought the movie was really bad and the humour was nothing new. Although I suppose in the US he was new so you guys found him funny. You can keep him if you like.
  • What an asshole.

  • the pictures of him crashing the fashion show in Milan hardly look like him... from the aftermath, it looks like it was an effective marketing ploy though

    This is one movie I'm looking forward to next year. I was hoping some stunt would make it into the media.

    WHile I do appreciate Cohen's dedication to staying in character at all cost, disrupting people lifes for the sake of a joke isn't my thing.

    But I guess that's me. The lametard.
  • Knocking people off of pedestals is messy business.
