Rudy Giuliani had a security officer sweep the room where he was filmed in 'Borat 2,' but he didn't find Sacha Baron Cohen hiding in a wardrobe
Sacha Baron Cohen told Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show" that he was hiding in a specially constructed hideaway in a wardrobe that locked internally during Rudy Giuliani's hotel-room interview for "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm."
Giuliani was being interviewed by Maria Bakalova, a 24-year-old actor who plays Borat's 15-year-old daughter, Tutar, a news reporter.
Cohen told Colbert that Giuliani had a security guard sweep the room before the interview but that the guard didn't find him hiding in the wardrobe.
Rudy Giuliani had a security guard sweep the hotel room where he did his interview for the "Borat" sequel, but the guard, a former police officer, didn't find Sacha Baron Cohen hiding in a wardrobe, Cohen told Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show" on Monday.
Cohen told Colbert he was in a specially constructed hideaway in a wardrobe during Giuliani's interview with Maria Bakalova, the 24-year-old actor who plays Borat's 15-year-old daughter, Tutar, a news reporter, in "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm." In a scene from the interview, Giuliani drinks scotch with Tutar and at one point appears to have his hands down his pants.

Before the interview, Giuliani had a security guard sweep the room — but the guard didn't find Cohen in the wardrobe, which locked internally, Cohen said.
"I was in there for the entire scene," he told Colbert. "My only means of communication — the idea was that I would jump out at the necessary point, and I would know what he was doing via text messages with the director."
