Rolling Stone interviews Sacha Baron Cohen. ⇒

I don't think I've ever seen/read an interview with him where he was not in character, so this is pretty rare. This link was found via MetaFilter.

  1. Yeah, it’s very rare, I only know of two interviews out of character with him. One with Letterman, one with Jon Stewart:

  2. I am having trouble getting the Letterman interview to load, but watched the Daily Show clip a few days ago. What strikes me most is the ease with which he slides from being Cohen to being Ali G, as though these characters are right there at the edge, always waiting to leak out.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
