Sacha Baron Cohen says Rudy Giuliani’s security guard didn’t find him during security sweep

Sacha Baron Cohen says Rudy Giuliani’s security team didn’t find him during a security sweep before an infamous scene involving the New York City mayor in the new Borat sequel.

The comedian told Stephen Colbert in a recent episode of his late show that he was concealed in a specially built hideaway during the scene, in which Giuliani interacts with Borat’s fictional daughter Tutar – portrayed by actor Maria Bakalova.

“Rudy thought he was alone with her,” Baron Cohen told Colbert.

“He brought a cop with him – an ex-policeman. And the policeman does a sweep of the entire hotel suite. And I’m obviously running to get in there, jumping the hideaway, pulling this thing shut, and I’ve got a little internal lock. And it’s pitch-black in there.”
