It’s a comeback that makes a lot of noise. The film “Borat 2”, whose eponymous character is played by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, is available since Friday, October 23 on Amazon Prime.
Several sequences have already been talked about, starting with the one in which Rudy Giulani, former mayor of New York and lawyer for Donald Trump, appears in an unfortunate position.
See the video :
Filmed with my hand in my pants
In the guise of Borat, a fictional Kazakh reporter, the comedian trapped Rudy Giulani. Actress Maria Balakova, who plays the role of Borat’s daughter, introduced herself as a journalist for a conservative media outlet who wanted to interview her on the White House’s handling of the health crisis. At the end of the interview, which takes place in a hotel, the actress offers to have a drink in the room full of cameras, specifies “The Guardian”.
Here’s the full Rudy Giuliani clip from Borat.

Maria Balakova removes the microphone from the 76-year-old man. The video then shows Rudy Giulani lying down on the bed, his shirt unbuttoned and putting a hand in his pants. Borat then enters the room exclaiming: ” She is 15 years old. She’s too old for you. “
A “complete manufacturing”
Rudy Giulani had indicated last July to have been the victim of a false « interview ». He defended himself on Twitter on Wednesday, October 21, of any bad intentions, accusing Borat’s video of being “Manufactured”. “I put my shirt back in my pants after removing the recording equipment”, he writes.

“At no time before, during or after the interview have I behaved inappropriately. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies the opposite, he is shamelessly lying ”, insists Rudy Giuliani in his tweet.
He had previously told the ” New York Post “That he thought he was answering questions about the management of the pandemic by the administration of Donald Trump and that he had not immediately realized “That it must be Sacha Baron Cohen”.

“I thought of all the people he had fooled before me and I was proud of myself because he didn’t have me”, he assured the newspaper.
Borat drives home the point
Borat did not stop there. This Friday, he posted on Twitter a “Official statement” where he speaks for “Defend” Rudy Giulani.

“I am here to defend America’s mayor Rudolph Giuliani. What was just a sexual encounter between a consenting man and my 15 year old daughter has turned into something disgusting because of the media “fake news”. I warn you: if someone else does this, Rudolph will not hesitate to contact his lawyers and draw his subpoenas ”, he explains in the video, with his corrosive humor.
Like the first movie, « Borat 2 » was filmed as a mock documentary this summer, while containment measures were easing in the United States, by Sacha Baron Cohen and his team to better trap political and anonymous figures with his character of backward and indelicate reporter.
