Sacha Baron Cohen Hires Porn Actors For "Bruno"

Sacha Baron Cohen added something extra to "Bruno" that "Borat" just didn't have: paid porn actors.

Cohen turned to a couple of pros for a sex scene in his forthcoming "Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male," in which he plays a flamboyant Austrian fashion journalist.

Looking for actors who were willing to do full-frontal nudity, Cohen and director Dan Mazer called on David Forest, the go-to guy for gay adult stars.

"We auditioned about 10 actors," says Forest. They finally settled on triple-X stars Paul Barba (usually billed as "Tony Capucci") and John Martel (known to fans as "Tyler Saint"). Cohen summoned Barba and Martel to the Aramano Hotel in Burbank.

"There's a scene where Bruno comes to the hotel with some guys," Forest tells us. "They're all trying to get Bruno to come upstairs for an orgy. Five guys are there. Two of them are my guys. Bruno apparently doesn't want to join the party, but he watches through the window. I'm told it's hilarious."

With George Carlin and Richard Pryor gone, it's nice to see there are still some AGITATORS out there!

[jjordan]

Tony Capucci is pure sex.

[menyc]

Yes. And Leo Giamani.

[jneems]

yeah, I know. But couldn't he could make a good movie without the porn stars and the frontal nudity?

[Vr6]

But then it would be something else!

[nolabels]

Yeah, it should be a movie based purely on kittens, chocolate chip cookies and scenes of pristine meadows.

[TheWordman]

Enough spoilers already.

[lordball]

Cannot wait to see this film. I'm sure it'll be as funny as Borat.

[DavidATolucaLake]

What some of you on here dont get is that its NOT ABOUT BRUNO BEING GAY.

Its about THE REACTION BY OTHERS TO BRUNO BEING GAY.

And the intollerance and unease that people have with his homosexuality.

Humour allows us to deal with items that we'd normally not want to deal with, humour is the soft blow of acceptance. Humour is very much a facet of intellect, jokes cut to the heart in jest - but talk in such code - illuminates, a little and it's good for you.

This is Lo-n-g way from Mike Myers'' "Dieter" character (SNL) savagel y lampooning Klaus Nomi.
Sample: Meyer:Dieter: I am zo fulle of antizipation that mein genitalz have sucked up into mein body cavity.

I am increasingly intrigued at the growing trend toward using gay or gay themed humor. There's a lot of it in South Park and sprinkled in Apatow's films. Things that make you go hmmmmm. It does not make things funnier in my opinion. Nor does it seems cutting edge. Enough years of Howard Stern when he was mainstream killed any cutting edge quality in using the sex industry as material. So much latency.

For many people it's more like ''eeeeeeek'

[Nikola Tesla]

Is that the noise you make when you climax to gay porn?

[CAMBEL]

It also helps that the creators of South Park have never particularly hidden the fact that they are gay.

[Fingerbo]

Uh, no. They're not. That's a weird assertion.

Or that Matt Stone is Jewish, hence that wonderful dialogue between Kylie and the Cartman, without the nasty overtones there would be had it been done by someone else. Effective in the use of humor to point out bigotry:

Cartman: (repenting), Kylie, sorry I called you a Jew...
Kylie: But Cartman, I AM a Jew!
Cartman: Don't be hard on yourself; you're not a Jew...
Kylie: God dam*, Cartman, I AM A JEW!!!
