“Bear in mind, I spent five hours in makeup that morning with the prosthetic team changing my face into Trump’s face,” Baron Cohen said. “This fat suit is huge. It’s a 56-inch fat suit to turn my waist into Trump’s because we had estimated that was the most realistic.” Baron Cohen continued, “Then I ended up hiding in the bathroom, listening to conservative men go to the toilet for five hours until I broke into the room. We were surrounded by Secret Service and police and internal security.”
The Borat-as-Trump sequence is shaping up to be one of the buzziest moments in the highly anticipated “Borat” sequel. Baron Cohen also revealed over the weekend he spent five days in character as Borat in order to quarantine full time with two conspiracy theorists. It appears the comedian’s dramatic efforts to pull off “Borat 2” will pay off, at least according to Seth Rogen. Ahead of the film’s streaming debut, the “Pineapple Express” and “Knocked Up” actor shared the sequel’s first rave reaction on social media. “I’ve seen ‘Borat 2’ around six times over the last few months, and I can’t wait to watch it a seventh,” Rogen wrote. “It’s crazy and wonderful and couldn’t be more timely. It also has a few of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. I’m excited for you to see it.”
