Sacha Baron Cohen's "Bruno" Crashes Prop 8 Rally

LOS ANGELES — Sacha Baron Cohen went undercover as his alter ego Bruno on Sunday by crashing a rally in support of a ballot measure that would ban gay marriage in California.

The British comedian is working on a film based on the fictional character Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion reporter who conducted gag interviews on HBO's "Da Ali G Show."

Cohen, in disguise in a blond wig and preppy outfit, marched with demonstrators who support Proposition 8 while being trailed by cameras in a rally across from City Hall.

When photographers and reporters realized who he was and tried to approach the star, members of his film crew tried to shield him, and he was eventually whisked away in a van.

Cohen, who has made a career out of filming unwitting victims of his fake identities, also played a journalist in the hit movie "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."

Hehehe... it's so hilarious when he mocks these people and they don't even realize it.

Too bad he couldn't do an interview with Sarah Palin...Guess the Canadians corked him on that one, eh?

Sacha is unbelievably FEARLESS. How can you not love that man! "Borat" was one of the funniest movies we've ever seen although I really feared for his life when he stood up in that rodeo full of bigots and rednecks and sang about his country to the tune of our national anthem - lol.

Can't wait to see "Bruno".

FYI, we (16 strong) voted NO on Prop 4 & 8, and YES on Prop 2.

GO SACHA!

Sacha is a genius and he has a spine of titanium.

[Dorksforobama]

And a liver, to boot!

Recall the scene in Borat where he matched shots and beers with a bunch of college boys. The man was sh*tfaced and still remained completely in character.

Amazing.

It looks like Baron Cohen is being victimized by his own success.
