Yet another reason why we love BORAT SACHA BARON COHEN BRUNO. Somewhere in Hollywood BRAD PITT, STEVEN SPIELBERG, KATE CAPSHAW and ELLEN DEGENERES are smiling.
This stunt wasn’t just an altruistic attempt to mock anti-gay protesters (although in that blond wig/buttondown get up, it did). Cohen — who recently caused an uproar during Milan Fashion Week — was shooting a scene for his upcoming movie BRUNO: DELICIOUS JOURNEYS THROUGH AMERICA FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING HETEROSEXUAL MALE. The flick is based on his famed gay fashion reporter character.
Universal paid $42.5 million for the rights and it’s currently scheduled for a May 2009 release. Ni-iice.
