Transcript:Bruno Movie Premiere - Sacha Baron Cohen Interview

Rebecca Murray from About.com Hollywood Movies at the American Premiere of Bruno.

'Bruno' (Sacha Baron Cohen)

Bruno: "Wassup LA? Wassup Los Angeles? Ich liebe Dich. You guys are the greatest. Ich hope you enjoy my movie tonight. It's the most powerful documentary since The Lion King. It's the gayest... Wow, let me rephrase that. It's the most important movie starring a gay Austrian since Terminator 2. It's the sexiest movie since Amistad. Now, there have been some people saying that my film is harmful to the gay community. Why all the backbiting and bitching? I don't remember anyone from the astronaut community complaining to Buzz Lightyear. With my movie Ich hope to undo all the badness that was created by that film Milk. Apparently the lead actor wasn't even gay - although I hear he's curious. Los Angeles - Ice love you. Bruno uber alles. Los Angeles uber alles."

Why is now the right time for a Bruno movie?

Bruno: "Vell, you know, it wasn't my decision but you know this is the most important documentary made about a gay white guy since The Passion of The Christ. So it's about time to know a little bit about me. I'm very, very shy. I don't like to talk about myself which you should know if you've read any of my three autobiographies or more podcast or my blog."
