01/15/2007 - Sacha Baron Cohen - Paramount Pictures 2007 Golden Globe Award After-Party - Beverly Hilton Hotel - Beverly Hills, CA © David Gabber / PhotorazziThe British comedian, who starred as a crazy TV reporter in 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan', had to remain in character while they were shooting the film so as not to arouse suspicion.Sacha told Britain's Guardian newspaper: "It was exhausting. I had to be that way all day and all night, because even if the tiniest detail had gone awry, it could have made them suspicious."I mean, even if I went to the bathroom, I had to make sure I went to the bathroom as Borat."The 35-year-old actor also revealed he never washed his grey suit or wore deodorant while making the film - to create an authentic smell.He said: "The smell is an added thing for people to believe that I'm from a country where hygiene wasn't a necessity."(C) BANG Media International

I can imagine how much that had to have sucked, and even more so now that the movie has been released and fans have to be running up to him begging him to say 'wowa woowa' because I know I would!
