Sacha Baron Cohen plays the Dictator at film premiere

CONTROVERSIAL comedian Sacha Baron Cohen declared “Death to the West”, as he arrived at the premiere of his new film The Dictator on a tow truck.

In character as Admiral General Aladeen, dictator of a fictional country, he was driven up the red carpet at London’s Royal Festival Hall standing in an orange Lamborghini, with a clamp on one wheel and the back seat full of Harrods carrier bags, on the back of a tow truck.

He was flanked by models in military uniform wearing mini-skirts, and brandished a gold-plated pistol at waiting photographers.

Sacha said: “Sorry I am late. I was doing some shopping at the British Home Stores and I got clamped.”
