Sacha Baron Cohen swaps mankini for masks in Borat 2
The sequel to the 2006 hit film will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on 23 October
Sacha Baron Cohen has switched his mankini for a disposable face mask as his Kazakhstani TV star persona Borat returns for an unexpected sequel.
Borat 2 – otherwise known as Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm – Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime For Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan – will premiere on Amazon Prime Video later this month.
The film is a direct follow-up to Baron Cohen’s 2006 hit and was secretly filmed and completed during the pandemic.
A trailer released this week suggests the British-born comedian as Borat is up to his usual tricks, namely getting unsuspected members of the public to dress in strange ways, answer questions that leave them squirming – and killing the coronavirus by hitting the air with frying pans.
In one scene, he even dresses up as Trump and interrupts vice-president Mike Pence mid-speech at a Republican rally.
Borat 2 is released on 23 October on Amazon Prime Video.
