Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen has opened up on the purpose of filming Borat 2 in an interview with Variety. The actor has revealed that the main reason behind the film was to convince the viewers to vote against Donald Trump. Read ahead to know more.
Sacha revealed that the Rudy Giuliani honey trap scene that captured Donald Trump made him happy. He filmed a fake interview with Trump’s lawyer Giuliani that shows him crashing the Conservative Political Action Conference. The lawyer wasn’t co-operating and became the team's prime target. Giuliani was clueless that the interview was fake and put his hands down his pants.
Cohen told Variety that he did not want to egotistically imply that people would watch Borat and not vote for Trump but that was the aim. Most of the film was to expose the shortfalls of Trump’s administration and the president’s bigotry.
