Remember Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen’s new fantastic image of a gay fashion reporter from Austria? Well, everyone’s heard of him. Everyone but Ben Affleck, if to be exact. The actor has been recently punk’d by Cohen, according to the source.
Ben Affleck called comedian friend Sarah Silverman after completing a sit-down interview with a person he was told was a “very famous openly gay fashion journalist”.
Ben said it was “the weirdest sit-down he has ever had with a reporter,” explaining that the interviewer’s (“idiot’s” in Affleck’s words) first question was “How Do You Like Niggers?” only when Silverman asked Affleck “Was this guy’s name Bruno?” did Affleck actually realize that the whole thing was for the film.
Who knows, maybe we’ll see that “wierd” interview in the new Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable flick. The film is scheduled to hit theaters in October 2008
