Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen released some light political hockey while accepting his Golden Globes on Sunday.
“Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm”, the sequel to his hugely successful 2006 comedy, won the award for best film – musical or comedy – and Cohen personally won for best performance by an actor in a film – musical or comedy. During his acceptance speeches, he not only touched on the topic of diversity that dominated the conversation for the evening, but also the man who helped make the movie so buzzworthy in 2020.

I mean, who can laugh more from one unpacking? Amazing, our film was just the beginning for him. Rudy starred in a series of comedy films. Hits like, ‘Four Seasons Landscaping’ ‘Hairdye Another Day ‘and the court drama’ A Very Public Fart. ‘ ”
