Borat Storms Milan

Sacha Baron Cohen, who rose to fame for his portrayal of the idiotic reporter from Kazakhstan in Borat, crashed Agatha Ruiz de La Prada’s Milan fashion show looking like a homeless person and wearing layers upon layers of clothes.

The stunt in all probability is part of Cohen’s ongoing promo campaign for his upcoming film ‘Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male,’ which stars an Austrian gay fashion reporter named Bruno.
