Hollywood actor Sacha Baron Cohen has revealed a moment of panic while disguised as President Trump for the sequel of his movie ‘Borat’. He said that he was apprehensive that his disguise as President Trump for the movie was going to be discovered, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor appeared on Monday’s The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he talked about his new sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, now streaming on Amazon. In the film, Cohen reprises his role as a Kazakh television journalist named Borat Sagdiyev who interacts with real-life, unsuspecting people. The plot centers around Borat traveling to the United States to offer his daughter up as a gift to Vice-President Mike Pence.
For one part of the movie, Cohen was transformed into Trump to go undercover at the Conservative Political Action Conference. The transformation was thanks to prosthetics and a fat suit. But to disguise himself to get past security, he tried to make himself look not so much like Trump.
At one point while going through security, a security officer was scanning Cohen with a wand, and it beeped when it got to his chest.
“I was terrified, obviously, the moment they touch my body, it’s a fat suit,” Cohen said. “So I wouldn’t have been allowed in.” When asked about the beep, Cohen said he quickly said it was a pacemaker. However, the wand beeped again at his lower abdomen.
The actor revealed that the security person thought it was the wire to the pacemaker and let him go in.
