Sacha Baron Cohen says FBI started following him on 'Borat'

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 46%.

Sacha Baron Cohen's character Borat had a knack for producing hilarious reactions from strangers thanks to his outrageous behavior, but Cohen likely didn't expect the reaction he received from the FBI.

While appearing on WTF with Marc Maron, Cohen went into the history of making both Borat and Bruno, including the surprising amount of legal trouble he ran into in particular with that first film.

Cohen recalled filming Borat and riding around in the character's vehicle of choice, an ice cream truck, with Borat's producer Azamat.

That wasn't the only time Cohen had run-ins with the law while making his films.

Of course, during filming, the cops were called, and this bodyguard directed Cohen to jump out a window to avoid them, causing him to break his heel and temporarily shut down production on the film.

Listen to the full episode to hear more from Cohen about the many legal issues he's faced during his many films, including even former Prime Minister Tony Blair having to call the actor because of how Borat strained England's ties with Kazakhstan.
