Fridge Horror

  • Early on in the film, Bruno says that he's been in a relationship with Diesel for nine years. Keep that in mind when Bruno tells Lloyd Robinson his age.
    • Though to be fair, a lot of people fall in love with each-other at a very young age, and it's likely that Bruno and Diesel didn't develop a sexual feelings for each-other until they were around 16 or 17. Furthermore, it's also implied Bruno lies about his age.
  • That "Terrorist" Bruno interviews? That's not a character played by an actor. Unfortunately, he isn't actually a terrorist either. The so-called "Terrorist", Ayman Abu Aita, is actually an innocent man who was tricked and manipulated by Sacha Baron Cohen into appearing in his movie, just so Sacha could deliberately slander him as a terrorist and ruin his life in the process, for no reason other than malice. Here's a video about it.
    • To make matters worse, Sacha even lied in an interview about how he met Ayman the "Terrorist", claiming that he was part of some very dangerous suicide bomber group, and that he had to meet him in a top-secret location and that security had to escort him there. In reality, there was no "secret location", neither did Sacha have any security to escort him anywhere. Ayman Abu Aita actually lives openly, and he is also not part of any such terrorist organization either.
    • And this isn't even the first time Sacha Baron Cohen has exploited people for his films. In Borat, he tricked a entire Romani village of poor people into being in his movie so he could also slander them, and he even ripped them off by paying them very little money.
