Bruno Loves His World Leaders

On camera and off, Sacha Baron Cohen knows how to push people’s buttons. While doing a press junket in Australia for Bruno, Sacha told The Australian that he was more than friends with that country’s Prime Minister.

“I’ve just had breakfast in bed with Kevin Rudd. That guy is like uber-cute. I thought Obama was the hottest guy in the world until I met Kevin. Amazing. I never schtup and tell. All I would say is for a moment, well, for about seven minutes, Austria and Australia came together as ‘Austrialasia’ und it was just something very magnificent.”

This came after Bruno told British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to get a makeover and wear tighter pants at the UK premiere last week. The film doesn’t come out in the U.S. until July 10 so it looks like Obama is going to have to wait to get sized up even more by the self-proclaimed gay role model until then.

At the Sydney premiere of the film, Bruno arrived on horseback in a skimpy knight costume sans pants, but of course showing off his man-armor. [Photo: WireImage]
