I guess like me, not everyone thinks Borat is that funny. And apparently having a #1 hit movie in America doesn’t mean you’re bulletproof from getting your ass kicked, especially in New York City, home of muggers, beggars, and mugger-beggars. Here’s news that Sacha Baron Cohen got royally whooped (as in bitch slapped) when he tried to prank a NYC passerby as Borat. Thankfully for Cohen, buddy and “House” star Hugh Laurie was there to rescue his dumb ass.
Here’s the news from the Daily Telegraph:
“Borat” star Sacha Baron Cohen was beaten up by a passer-by after he tried to play a prank as his alter ego.
He approached the man and said: “I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it.”
But the bystander didn’t see the joke. He took one look at Cohen and punched him in the face.
The funnyman — known for his Borat catchphrase “Jagshemash!” — yelled for help but was slugged again and again.
He was rescued by actor pal Hugh Laurie who had been on his way to a New York bar with Cohen.
So now you know, kids — just because you have a hit movie in America, it doesn’t mean you can still act like a jackass. You never know how the guy you’re acting up on will take it. In this case, prank on unaware man make not good joke for Borat.
But once again, I think this photo might have set the guy off:
