As we've learned from his last big screen effort, Sacha Baron Cohen employs a wide variety of low-tech tricks to sell his comedy illusions. For example, to create those Borat Polaroids in which his face grazed his teenage son's exposed manhood, a gay porn star was hired who looked young enough to be the Kazakh's spawn. But with follow-up Bruno, the stakes and degree of technical difficulty have upped considerably.
No longer will audiences be satisfied with the suggestive flopping around of a fist-shaped dildo and post-gay-pride-parade communal showers. A movie about a gay Austrian fashionista simply demands unobstructed man-on-man-on-man penetration—and Cohen is determined to deliver on every front. And back. And daisychaining where necessary. NY Daily News reports, using our fake title yet again:
Cohen turned to a couple of pros for a sex scene in his forthcoming "Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male," in which he plays a flamboyant Austrian fashion journalist.
Looking for actors who were willing to do full-frontal nudity, Cohen and director Dan Mazer called on David Forest, the go-to guy for gay adult stars.
"We auditioned about 10 actors," says Forest. They finally settled on triple-X stars Paul Barba (usually billed as "Tony Capucci") and John Martel (known to fans as "Tyler Saint"). Cohen summoned Barba and Martel to the Aramano Hotel in Burbank.
"There's a scene where Bruno comes to the hotel with some guys," Forest tells us. "They're all trying to get Bruno to come upstairs for an orgy. Five guys are there. Two of them are my guys. Bruno apparently doesn't want to join the party, but he watches through the window. I'm told it's hilarious."
We've found nothing particularly hilarious when we've engaged in similar activities from our nose-grease-smeared vantage points on high—but when you add highlights and an Austrian accent, it probably gets a lot funnier. For Capucci in particular, we think this could be the beginning of something big. How far you've come, young man, from those days playing a pantsless Poseidon on David Geffen's Atlantis-themed yacht, the Naughtylus! Ever upward!
