Sacha Baron Cohen says being known as a funnyman often leads to more unusual romantic partners in his movies. The Borat star admits that when he got steamy in a more conventional love plot in his new movie Hugo he was unsure what to do.
“There is actually a bit of romance between myself and Emily Mortimer, which is actually the first romantic plot I’ve had that’s not been with a black prostitute or a man,” says Sacha.
“It’s actually my first proper love story. We didn’t actually have a kissing scene, but there was a bit of romance in there. So that was different for me.”
