Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen says Rudy Giuliani 'did what he did' in movie scene with Maria Bakalova - ABC News

Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen says US President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani "did what he did" after being shown in a compromising position in a hotel room with a young actress pretending to be a television journalist.

A still image of the scene from Borat Subsequent Moviefilm was released earlier this week, part of a scene where Mr Giuliani lies on a bed, tucking in his shirt with his hands down his pants.

Mr Giuliani was in the hotel room thinking he was being interviewed for a television interview and has denied any wrongdoing, calling the scene a "complete fabrication".

He said he was tucking his shirt in after taking off the recording equipment.

But in an interview with Good Morning America, Baron Cohen said it was "pretty clear" what the former New York City mayor was doing.

"I would say that if the President's lawyer found what he did there appropriate behaviour then heaven knows what he's done with other female journalists in hotel rooms," he said.

"I urge everyone to watch the movie. It is what it is, he did what he did and make your own mind up.

"It was pretty clear to us."

Baron Cohen, who enters the scene in an outlandish outfit while Mr Giuliani is lying on the bed, said he had been concerned for his co-star, Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova.

"I was quite concerned for her during the scene," Baron Cohen said.

"We'd built a hideaway that I was hiding in during the entire scene, so I was monitoring it by text.

"But it's my responsibility as a producer as well to ensure that the lead actor is looked after."

In the same interview, Bakalova said she never felt in danger during the scene.

"I've always felt safe with our team, with our crew, with Sacha in our corner. I never felt that I was in danger, that's why I am lucky," she said.

Earlier, Baron Cohen released an innuendo-laden video on Twitter in his Borat character, using a contrived pronunciation of "subpoenas".

"What was an innocent sexy time encounter between a consenting man and my 15-year-old daughter has been turned into something disgusting by fake news media," he says.

"I warn you, anyone else try this and Rudolph will not hesitate to reach into his legal brief and whip out his subpoenas."
