Sacha Baron Cohen created Borat 2 to show the ‘dangers’ of voting Donald Trump for a second term

Sacha Baron Cohen revealed that he did Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm to alert American voters of the ‘dangers’ of voting for President Donald Trump for a second term.

The actor, 49, talked about the documentary with The Sun on Saturday, saying he felt that democracy was “at a very dangerous point” under Trump’s administration and that he wanted to do something about it before the November election.

He explained: ‘The purpose of the film is to convey a message. That is the reason why Borat appeared when this happened.

‘I thought the thing I can do to warn people is to use my funniest character, my most popular character, to show what I thought were the dangers of voting for Trump. I thought democracy was at a very dangerous point. ‘

‘I suppose with this film I felt I should be able to look in the mirror [the day after election day] and say to myself, ‘I did everything I could to protect a political system that I value – democracy’. ‘

At the end of last year, Sacha revived his beloved character for this year’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the 2006 Borat sequel.

He plays a clumsy Kazakh journalist who travels to America to learn more about his culture in hilarious and sometimes unbelievable mockumentaries.

And after filming the film, the outspoken actor admitted that there were moments when he feared for his safety.

In an Instagram post in October, Sacha shared a behind-the-scenes video of him performing at a Trump rally as Borat.

The crowd quickly realized that he was making fun of them before turning angrily on him, forcing Sasha to flee the stage, before barricading himself in his trailer and running away.

‘This was not the easiest movie to make,’ he captioned the scary video.

Another clip from the film quickly went viral as it showed an embarrassing moment involving Trump’s replacement, Rudy Giuliani.

The ‘daughter Tutar’ of ‘Borat’ played by Maria Bakalova was interviewing Giuliani for a segment – which he assumed was a real interview – in a hotel.

During this sequence, he can be seen lying on a bed and putting his hand inside his pants while ‘Tutar’ adjusted his microphone – he says, because he was just fixing his shirt.

‘Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was putting my shirt in after taking off the recording equipment ‘, Giuliani replied on Twitter.

In a recent interview with Variety, Cohen shared that he hoped his film would convince people to vote against Trump in the 2020 elections.

“I don’t want to suggest selfishly that people would watch Borat and not vote for Trump, but that was the point,” he said.

Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States on Wednesday, with Kamala Harris serving as its vice president – the first woman to serve, the first African American and the first Asian American vice president.
