‘Brüno’ Premieres In Hollywood
Sacha Baron Cohen brought his Brüno circus to Hollywood, CA yesterday for the LA premiere of his new film. Dressed in military hotpants atop a mirror-ball bedazzled tank and brandishing a jewel-encrusted bazooka, his Brüno character rolled into town for the lavish premiere. Here are a few pics from yesterday’s event:
As some of you may be well aware by now, Michael Jackson’s death even touched the Hollywood premiere of Brüno yesterday. Not only was MJ’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame covered up by the red carpet set up for the premiere (which barred fans from being able to pay tribute to the late singer until after the premiere was over) but a scene in the film was removed out of respect for the late singer. La Toya Jackson, MJ’s older sister, was punk’d in the film and both she and MJ were mocked in the final cut of the film. The offending scene was taken out completely from the film before the movie premiered here in LA out of respect for Michael Jackson. I understand that the rest of the premiere went off without a hitch, tho. Brüno opens in theaters on July 10 so there may still be more of these over-the-top premieres to come. Next up, NYC?

He’s not really my thing, but I am glad they took the scene out.

I don’t get the haters. He’s hilarious! And I didn’t even like Beavis and Butthead or South Park (at first) because the humor was too crude and prejudiced. Sacha Baron Cohen cracks me up, though! Come on! The naked chase scene in Borat was priceless! I think the reason why these shows are widely accepted now is that they make fun of EVERY gender, sexual preference, and race. Coming from an Asian hag, I can take a joke. Maybe not at first, but I see the humor now. Or maybe my senses and taste has just gone down. Ha ha. :)

Sasha Baron Cohen is a pretty hairy guy in most pics I’ve seen of him. It must’ve been hell for him to get waxed to be Bruno!

Do not find him in the least bit humorous, he is idiotic and offensive.

Now here’s someone who’s fearless :)

I can’t wait for this movie to be released so he can go away again… Just not at all funny. There are a lot of movies that manage to be funny without insulting everyone (Hangover being a recent example).
