British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen has incurred the wrath of a U.S. politician – after tricking the congressman into appearing in his new movie Bruno.

Ron Paul, who was Republican candidate for the 2008 presidential election, was left fuming last summer when the funnyman conned him into a seduction scene with his gay fashion journalist character, Bruno.

Texas congressman Paul admits the star lured him into an interview by claiming to be be a financial reporter, and then disrobed in front of the startled politician.

He only went public with his outrage this week after seeing himself featured in a trailer for the upcoming film.

Paul tells America’s ABC radio, “We were in a studio situation, I wasn’t invited into a hotel room. There were lots of lights and blaze and commotion and they said we better get in this back room which had been fixed up as a bedroom.

“So there was some dishonesty getting me into the interview, I was expecting an interview on Austrian economics. That didn’t turn out that way.

“By the time he (Cohen) started pulling his pants down, I was like ‘What on earth is going on here?’ and I ran out of the room. This interview had ended. I don’t like the way he lies his way into interviews. That to me is fraud.”

funny to read this. in germany no one would call his mealshop wurstküche,
because it means, where the sausages are made and not sold. and if people would know, how they are made, they maybe wont buy them ;-)

remembers me of a record from the german band f.s.k.
they often travel to america and put some photos on their records.
one of it shows an american beer-bar which is called ausländer, which means foreigner or alien. if a barkeeper would do this in germany, he nearly wont sell anything.
