"Bear in mind, I spent five hours in makeup that morning with the prosthetic team changing my face into Trump’s face," Baron Cohen told The Times.

"This fat suit is huge. It’s a 56-inch fat suit to turn my waist into Trump’s because we had estimated that was the most realistic.

“Then I ended up hiding in the bathroom, listening to conservative men go to the toilet for five hours until I broke into the room.

We were surrounded by Secret Service and police and internal security.”

In one outrageous scene where Borat and daughter Tutar perform a “fertility dance” at a Debutante Ball, members of the public in Macon, Georgia, were reportedly paid to attend the event. 

Will Davis, the publisher of the Monroe County Reporter, wrote that the “movie company sent us a nice email”about the event, and offering them $100 to attend.
