Funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen sung his wife’s praises recently, for not asking him to sleep in the spare room when he’s sporting his weird and wonderful looks. Sacha told The Sun on May 21st that his wife didn’t mind him sleeping in their double bed even when his roles required him to make dramatic changes to his appearance. He said: “With Borat she had to sleep with a man with a handlebar moustache. And doing Bruno I had all my body hair shaved off”. Sacha rose to fame as Ali G and has since created the characters Borat, Bruno, and most recently, The Dictator. He married Isla Fisher, the stunning Confessions of a Shopaholic actress, in 2010. The couple have two young children together. For the actor’s latest film - a comedy about a ruthless dictator - Sacha’s main piece of costume was a huge bushy beard. Isla told BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat: "The good news is the beard came off in the evening, so I did not have to look at the beard, unlike the Borat handlebar moustache which I was saddled with for months and months."sb10064105t-001
