Sacha Baron Cohen has revealed that he chose to resurrect his character Borat after seeing all the things happening under President Donald Trump's administration.
During a conversation with Variety, Sacha Baron Cohen said that he initially didn't want to make a sequel to the 2006 mockumentary hit Borat.
Cohen felt a duty to use Borat to call attention to something heinous that was happening in America, just as he did with the original Borat movie during the George W. Bush presidency. He said, "There was a goal to this movie, and I don't really see the objective of doing it again". Now though, after being drawn into a conversation about the future of Borat, Cohen has officially put an end to the project, stating: "He's locked away in the cupboard".
Cohen's return to the role of Borat was a successful one.
"I do feel happy that every time his name is mentioned as he tries to undermine the election, people are reminded that this is the guy with his hand down his underpants", Baron Cohen explained.

"What coronavirus demonstrated was that there's a lethal effect to his spreading of lies and conspiracy theories", he added. added.
