Sacha Baron Cohen was beaten up while trying to impersonate reporter Borat in real life. While in New York, he tried to pull a joke on a passer-by and was punched repeatedly before being rescued by a friend. The reported incident took place after Laurie and Cohen appeared on the US TV show Saturday Night Live late last month.
In character up as the fictional Kazakh journalist Borat that he created, Cohen approached a man in the street and said: "I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it."
The man didn't taste the joke, as probably he hasn't seen the Borat movie, and punched Borat's face in. The comedian quickly switched from his alter-ego back to Cohen and screamed for help. Cohen's friend, actor Hugh Laurie, came to the rescue. The 47-year-old 'House' star pushed the man away while Cohen got back onto his feet.
