Bruno film minus Jackson’s sister approved for viewing

London, Jul 9 (ANI): A new version of film Bruno, with a scene featuring Michael Jackson’s sister cut out from it, has been approved by the British Board of Film Classification.
The scene, which showed fashionista Bruno forcing La Toya Jackson to eat sushi off the naked bodies of workmen, was cut after her brother’s death on June 25.
It also showed Bruno trying to steal Michael’s number from his sister’s phone.
Meanwhile, in a rare interview where he is not “in character”, Sacha Baron Cohen has revealed that he was “terrified” about whether the film would succeed.
He told David Letterman’s Late Show on US TV he had been surprised by the success of his previous film, Borat, which follows a Kazakhstani journalist on a visit to the US.
“We never expected to make that kind of money - we thought it was going to be very niche,” the BBC quoted him as saying.
“When we were making this film, we wanted it to be better than Borat and we thought, ‘what could people see that they’d never seen before on film?’
“We were surprised that anyone wanted to see it - I still am,” he added. (ANI)
