Sasha Baron Cohen is best known as a comedian and comedy actor. But attentive viewers could see him in such films as the second part of Alice in Wonderland, and he also voiced King Julian. “I like to move it, move it …”
Sacha Baron Cohen is not a baron. His middle name is a distorted form of the name Baruch as Sacha is a practicing Jew. She speaks Hebrew well. And with all the accents of English …
He was born in London and took his first steps in student arts there. He studied history, but that was not his destiny. In 1994, Channel 4 was looking for presenters. Cohen showed his talent playing the role of a reporter from Albania – Kristo. He was noticed and his career began.
His next incarnation was Ali G. He got his show where he could show his full talent, starred as Ali in Madonna’s music video and received a BAFTA award. His well of ideas is inexhaustible. He also played the role of an anti-Semite reporter from Kazakhstan named Borat, and then Bruna – a homosexual from Austria. He was also a Dicator. He has been sued many times for the hard jokes that appear in his films and statements.
His achievements in the field of fantasy are perhaps more modest, but each appearance of this iconic actor is a feast for the eyes. He played a small role in Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street, as well as quite a lot in Martin Scorsese’s Hugo and his Invention.
His ability to adopt a variety of disguises and accents is astounding. In one interview, he said that King Julian’s accent on the Madagascar series was taken from his lawyer and his Sri Lankan associates. He played it in 2005-12. As a connection between a man and a clock, he glistened in Alice on the other side of the mirror. His final project is the second part of the adventures of Borat, who returns after 14 years like a meteor (and mows everything on his way) to learn more about American culture and the coronavirus pandemic. It will definitely be cosmic fun.
Privately, Sasha is married to Isla Fisher, who converted to Judaism especially for him. They have three children and live in Los Angeles.
We wish him even more good movies. And you, what do you wish him?
