WASHINGTON - English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen has hired Enrique Iglesias’ bodyguard for an interview with a terrorist after all other security agencies disagreed to help him in the venture.
The actor wanted to chat with a real life wanted Middle Eastern killer in his new film ‘Bruno’, where he plays an outrageous Austrian.
“We called around some security firms and everybody said no way and eventually I found one guy… who had done the Enrique Iglesias Hero tour,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
He joked: “His main job had been protecting Enrique from flying underwear. I knew, if it came to it, this guy would take a bra for me.”
Confusion pervaded the interview with the dangerous man after Cohen and high profile security guard came up with a weather-related code, which would alert the star if weapons entered the location.
The minder forgot the code and the interview started with a funny discussion about the weather.
Sacha also said that he hoped the terrorist wouldn’t watch his film as it might make him angry.
He said, “I pray to God (they won’t see the film).” (ANI)
