Sacha Baron Cohen Talks Up The Brothers Grimsby

March 10, 2016

Sony Pictures invited us to sit down and have an exclusive chat with one of the most singular talents in comedy, Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, The Dictator), to talk about his outrageous new spy comedy The Brothers Grimsby! Cohen shoots straight about playing on spy movie tropes, the difference between James Bond and Bill Cosby, and giving Donald Trump HIV, all in the interview video below!

The Brothers Grimsby stars Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Bruno) as an unruly soccer hooligan and Mark Strong (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) as his brother, a top level super spy.

In the film, Nobby (Sacha Baron Cohen) has everything a man from Grimsby could want, including 11 children and the most gorgeous girlfriend in the northeast of England (Rebel Wilson). There’s only one thing missing: his little brother, Sebastian (Mark Strong), who Nobby has spent 28 years searching for after they were separated as kids. Nobby sets off to reunite with Sebastian, unaware that not only is his brother MI6’s deadliest assassin, but he’s just uncovered plans for an imminent global terrorist attack. On the run and wrongfully accused, Sebastian realizes that if he is going to save the world, he will need the help of its biggest idiot.

Louis Leterrier (Now You See Me, The Incredible Hulk, Clash of the Titans) directs The Brothers Grimsby from a script by Sacha Baron Cohen and Phil Johnston (Wreck-It Ralph). It co-stars Academy Award winner Penelope Cruz (Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Zoolander No. 2) as the head of a philanthropic organization, alongside Isla Fisher (Now You See Me, Rango) and Gabourey Sidibe (Precious, Seven Psychopaths).
