Bruno Apparently Fancies The Prime Minister

Sacha Baron Cohen is currently in the midst of doing publicity for his latest movie Bruno in Australia which means we can expect to see him doing outlandish and hilarious things over the next few days in order to grab some column inches. Like insinuating he slept with our beloved Prime Minister Kevin Rudd – HAHAHA! What a mischievous thing to say, etc!

Reports AAP:

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s alter ego, gay Austrian fashionista Bruno, is in Australia for the premiere of his self-titled movie in Sydney tonight. Facing the media in a schoolboy’s uniform this morning, Bruno gave the PM top marks.

“The reason I’m late is I just had breakfast in bed with Kevin Rudd. That guy is like, uber cute,” Bruno said. “I thought Obama was like the hottest guy in the world until I met Kevin. I did to him last night what Malcolm Turnbull has been trying to do to him for the last couple of weeks.”

I see someone has given Sacha Baron Cohen a brief rundown on Australian politics so he can insert the correct name when unleashing one of his pre-prepared barely amusing quips on the media.

I saw Bruno’s appearance on Rove last night and, like Carrie Bradshaw puffing away on a cigarette post-rigorous horizontal workout with a new and complex fellow, I couldn’t help but wonder…

… am I missing something? From what I can gather, the character of Bruno is gay and therefore seems to enjoy nothing more than making saucy remarks about cock. But is that it? Because the idea of seeing nearly two hours of that schtick in a cinema sounds like bad comedy torture.

I guess I’ll have to go and see the movie and find out for myself. Rest assured that if I am totally wrong and the movie is an absolute pisser, I will immediately announce publicly that I am an idiot whose opinion cannot be trusted.
