Even after years in the spotlight, there's still a lot of mystery to Sacha Baron Cohen, and much about the comic many casual viewers wouldn't know. Here's a look at some of the most interesting and least known bits and pieces about Baron Cohen's life.
Baron Cohen wanted to be a performer since childhood, having been most influenced by actor and comedian Peter Sellers. Baron Cohen told The Guardian:
He was this incredibly realistic actor, who was also hilarious and who managed to bridge the gap between comedy and satire.
It's an easy influence to understand: Sellers, who claimed he had no personality outside his characters, wouldn't just act his roles, he'd become them. Date: 2020-10-29
