Sacha Baron Cohen's New Movie Gives Donald Trump AIDS

Source: Variety 2 hours ago



Hollywood is about to give Donald Trump AIDS. Sony, the studio hacked by the North Koreans when they objected to 'The Interview,' will release 'The Brothers Grimsby' on March 11. Cohen's stunts are so legendary that he was banned from the Oscars four years ago for fear of what he might do on the red carpet.

In an upcoming movie from satirist Sacha Baron Cohen called The Brothers Grimsby, a character who is supposed to represent Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe (who is not in the film) is shot at and his apparently AIDS-tainted blood flies into Trump's mouth and infects him, too.

Sony, the studio hacked by the North Koreans when they objected to The Interview, also a comedy, will release The Brothers Grimsby on March 11. Trump is also played by an actor, and the scene unfolds as the end-credits roll.

The Huffington Post reported that the studio, nervous about repercussions from famously litigious and outspoken Trump, asked Baron Cohen to take the scene out, but he declined.

I don't have a "favorite group," and certainly not guns. You are either confusing me with someone else or smoking something. Have fun.

I have yet to see a Will Farrell movie actually be funny as well.

Or Adam Sandler.

or David Spade.

I simply can't stand these "Hey look at me act like an asshole! That's funny!" movies nowadays.

Or is it just part of the storyline - a kind of setup where he gets AIDS and then is subjected to hostility from his friends, family, and Republican lawmakers?

That said, I tried to watch Borat, and I deleted it from my DVR as it was just tedious.

I did enjoy The Dictator, and his performance in Hugo.
