British actor and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen has apologised to Kazakhstan’s citizens for his famous character Borat, revealing that in the first versions he was supposed to be Albanian.
During an interview with the podcastinist Steppy Sad Confused ‘%, Cohen showed that when he was developing the character for the BBC, Borat had a different name and came from Albania.
His nationality differed depending on the television with which he cooperated.
The actor said he wanted to apologize for the first time for the citizens of Kazakhstan, since the character had no real connection with their country.
He expressed respect for the Kazakh people and culture, acknowledging that neither the appearance nor the emphasis of Borat represent them.
Cohen explained that through this character he intended to expose the prejudice and lack of knowledge of the people he interacted with, who believed absurd stories about a country they did not know. /Telegraphy/
