10 Risqué Film Performances From Superstar Actors

9. Sacha Baron Cohen And Ken Davitian (Borat, 2006)

Boratresized Sacha Baron Cohen is extremely well known for a few good reasons, a few bad ones, and a bizarre one. The good reasons are quite easy to cover. As shown in films such as Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007) and Tom Hooper's Les Miserablé (2012) Sacha Baron Cohen has acting chops that would make most A-listers quake in their delicate chelsea boots and heels. We would be remiss if we were not to point out that beyond these most well known of roles, Cohen has been in Madagascar one through three, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Talladega Nights, and the award winning Hugo as well. Not only is he an excellent writer and comedian, but his biggest leap in fame and popularity probably came about through what most would call a "bad reason" for being extremely well known. His own series of movies have a rather different approach to the Hollywood flicks where Cohen truly stretches his acting patois. Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan, Bruno, Ali G, and most recently The Dictator are all unique to say the least. However, nudity and the embarrassment that causes most people is something Cohen has never shied away from. In Borat: CLOAMBGNOK a scene between Borat and his manager Azamat (Ken Davitian) is the single strangest incident of on screen nudity known. Risqué it most certainly is, although not in the way we usually like. This is a clip that really must be seen to be understood, you can find a link on youtube. Finally, the bizarre reason Cohen is well known is that this graduate of Christ's College, Cambridge, comedic genius, philanthropist and multimillionaire is married to renowned beauty and scintillating intellectual Isla Fisher. Perhaps then, not so bizarre and simply jealousy on our part...
