Carla Romano and Borat
A raunchy interview with Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Borat Sagdiyev was cut short, because the funnyman’s obscene behavior went too far.

Scottish TV reporter Carla Romano was interviewing the comic genius when he grabbed her and pulled her into his lap, which forced the producers of the British breakfast show, GMTV, to axe the rest of their rude conversation.

Carla says, “The interview was so rude — it was unadulterated filth. I was trying to keep a straight face and play it straight. He was in character. “He got a little bit too frisky and managed to grab me and I ended up on the man’s lap. I wasn’t particularly flattered but he has the strength of an ox and there was no point in trying to resist him.”
