Check out this roundup of scenes left out of the movie directed by Jason Woliner, and starring and produced by Sacha Baron Cohen, who reprises his role as the titular Kazakh journalist to rile up all sorts of shenanigans throughout America. Over the years, Sacha Baron Cohen and his collaborators have developed a specific process that involves convincing the film’s subjects to appear on camera. In some cases, participants believe they are actually taking part in a true documentary with Borat at its center; in others, they have no idea they’re in a movie. Many of those who appear in “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” fall victim to these tactics, as you’ll see here.

Tutar Sneaks Into the White House
Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova has emerged as the breakout star of “Borat 2,” most notably because of her headline-making sit down with Rudy Giuliani. It turns out another buzzy Bakalova-in-disguise stunt was left out of the sequel’s streaming cut. In a clip shared to social media, Bakalova’s 15-year-old character Tutar is seen sneaking into the White House and meeting Donald Trump Jr. at a press event while shadowing One America News’ White House correspondent Chanel Rion. Borat says in voiceover: “OAN is most rigorous news source in America,” Borat’s voiceover says. “I know this because they take my daughter into the White House – no need for security checks or Covid test.”

Sacha Baron Cohen Flees a Riot
Sacha Baron Cohen revealed before the release of “Borat 2” that a comedy stunt involving a far right rally in Washington ended with a riot that left him fearing for his life.
