Sacha Baron Cohen has revealed he used a former bodyguard for Enrique Iglesias when he interviewed a terrorist in the West Bank for his new film, Bruno.
The funnyman dropped his gay fashionista alter ego and played it straight when he appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last night.
In the rare interview out of character, Cohen joked about the bizarre choice of bodyguard, saying: “I knew he would take a bra for me.”
For the film, Cohen travelled to the Middle East where he met one of the alleged leaders of terrorist group Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade in character as Bruno.
In the scene, Bruno calls Al Qaeda ’so 2001′ and talks about being abducted by the Palestinian group to achieve worldwide fame.
Cohen told Letterman that when his team finally found a real terrorist for him to interview, most security firms refused the job of accompanying him to the West Bank, so he wound up with a bodyguard who last protected Enrique Iglesias.
“His main job had been protecting Enrique from flying underwear,” Cohen told Letterman. “I knew, if it came to it, this guy would take a bra for me.”
