Watch: Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator Spill Kim Jong-il's Ashes Over Ryan Seacrest

Sacha Baron Cohen was removed from the Oscars 2012 red carpet after turning up with what he claimed was an urn of Kim Jong-il's ashes. The Brit comedy actor appeared in character as Admiral General Aladeen and poured the ashes over TV presenter Ryan Seacrest who was interviewing him before security guards pulled the leader of the Republic of Wadiya away. The publicity stunt was to promote his upcoming film The Dictator in which Cohen, as he threatened to do, appeared in full costume as the character along with two stunning aides beside him on the red carpet. He was carrying a gold urn with the late North Korean leader's face on it. "It gave me the opportunity to bring my dear friend and doubles tennis partner Kim Jong-il" he told E! Host Ryan Seacrest. He claimed that it Jong-il's life long wish 'to be sprinkled over the red carpet and over Halle Berry's chest again'. Hen then tipped the ashes over Seacrest before saying; "If someone asks what you are wearing, tell them Kim Jong Il!" You can watch the video of his interview below and the spilling of Jong-il's ashes below; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhAg0COnqds&feature=player_embedded#! You can see at the end of the video the security guards were trying their best not to cause a scene but they had to physically remove Cohen when he was ruining the prestigious red carpet (!) and as Cohen wasn't going to give up the opportunity to promote his film early. Oscar cleaners (in suits) then vacuumed Jong-il's ashes into the bin! General Aladeen wrote on Twitter soon afterwards; VICTORY IS OURS! Today the Mighty Nation of Wadiya triumphed over the Zionist snakes of Hollywood. 'Evil and all those who made Satan their protector were vanquished and driven into the Pacific Sea. What I am trying to say here is that the Academy have surrendered and sent over two tickets and a parking pass! TODAY OSCAR, TOMORROW OBAMA!' The Academy had been said to have banned Cohen from the Oscar ceremony and pull his two tickets which he had been given as a cast member of the Oscar nominated Martin Scorsese movie Hugo. They later denied this claim and announced that Cohen had not been banned from the ceremony but that they did want to speak to him about the stunt he was planning which I can only guess they must have approved otherwise the security guards would have removed him sooner. They were all in on this one, clearly. The Dictator opens in May and co-stars Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley, Megan Fox and more. It is the third improvisational faux comedy from Cohen and his Borat and Bruno director Larry Charles.
