Brüno comes out in theaters tomorrow and the film’s star, Sacha Baron Cohen, was on the Today show this morning (as his Austrian alter ego). His interview with Matt Lauer verged from hilarious to absolutely shocking and/or ridiculous!
In talking about the places he went to film the movie, Lauer uncovered and discussed the many ills Brüno had committed around the world. He made comments about the fact that suicide bombers only blow themselves up because they wear unflattering clothing. He implied that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenneger was a gay Austrian.
The climax of the interview came when Lauer informed Brüno that the Austrian Minister to Great Britain had called for a boycott of the film. He got all teary and emotional and delivered uniquely outrageous words of disgust.
Watch this (but be forewarned – some viewers might find this offensive):
