Los Angels, Feb 23(IANS): Known for his portrayal of three unorthodox fictional characters- Ali G, Borat, and Bruno, actor Sacha Baron Cohen has been barred from attending the 84th Academy Awards Sunday- because of the costume he wanted to wear!
Cohen has been told he can't walk the red carpet dressed as General Aladeen, a character he is playing in his upcoming comedy The Dictator, reports nypost.com.
The Dictator is about a nutty strongman who is part Muammar Gaddafi and part Saddam Hussein, with hints of Kim Jong-il. Interestingly, Cohen is a voting member of the Academy and is also in the cast of Hugo, which has been nominated for 11 Oscars, playing the evil train station inspector.
