Sacha Baron Cohen explains why Borat 3 is not likely to happen

In a recent interview with Variety, Sacha Baron Cohen hinted that the next part in the Borat movie series might not happen anytime soon, following the voting out of President Donald Trump. He said that he brought Borat out after 15 years because of Donald Trump.

Sacha Baron Cohen also revealed why he returned as Borat Sagdiyev. He said that he felt democracy in the United States of America was in peril, and people’s lives were in peril, so he felt compelled to finish the movie. The actor stated that the Borat sequel was originally about the “danger of Trump and Trumpism” in the country. What coronavirus or COVID-19 demonstrated was that there is a “lethal effect” to Trump’s “spreading of lies and conspiracy theories,” he noted.

Baron Cohen asserted that he does not want to “egoistically imply” that people would watch Borat 2 and not vote for Donald Trump but confessed that it was the aim. The actor explained why he did not wait for the theatres to reopen. He stated that their goal was to get as many people to watch the film before November 3, 2020, when the voting for the presidential election was held.
