Bye-Bye Borat…

December 21, 2007

Sacha Cohen has told The Daily Telegraph that he’s retiring the halirious Kazakh journalist Borat, as well as rapper Ali G. “When I was being Ali G and Borat I was in character sometimes 14 hours a day and I came to love them, so admitting I am never going to play them again is quite a sad thing,” the 36-year-old actor-comedian says in the British newspaper’s Friday edition.

“It is like saying goodbye to a loved one. It is hard, and the problem with success, although it’s fantastic, is that every new person who sees the Borat movie is one less person I ‘get’ with Borat again, so it’s a kind of self-defeating form, really.”

Baron Cohen brought Borat Sagdiyev - an anti-Semitic reporter in search of Pamela Anderson,  to the world last year with his hit comedy, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.”  I loved the movie and Borat has provided me with the most laughs I have had in years, he will be sorely missed.  I would have loved to see one more installment of Borat the Move II!
