It was among one of the most debatable scenes in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Maria Bakalova, impersonating a reporter, took a seat for a meeting with previous New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani that finished in mayhem. In a actual meeting that appeared almost 3 months after Borat‘s follow up movie was launched, the 24-year-old starlet disclosed exactly how she had the ability to finish the uncomfortable scene — also after Donald Trump‘s legal representative called the authorities.

“I knew who he was. I was afraid because Rudy is a lawyer, and he is the president’s lawyer,” Maria, that played Borat’s little girl in the follow up movie, informed The Los Angeles Times for a meeting released on Jan. 4. She proceeded, “I am not an American and don’t know about American politics. But I knew that as an actor, it was my duty to do this scene to save the movie.”

The movie has been out for a few months, and everyone can see it and decide for themselves what to accept and believe.”

“I heard Sacha say in an interview that sometimes he was confused about whether he was Borat or himself. The same was true for me. You can call it ‘Method acting!’ Quite often, I felt like I was Tutar. After a while, you think it’s a normal day in your life,” Maria informed The Los Angeles Times. “You also feel so much adrenaline in your body. The excitement, the crazy rush, it’s like you are hypnotized. About half an hour later, you begin to realize what you were doing, and think to yourself, ‘Wow, that was very scary!’”

After Maria as well as Rudy’s meeting, they headed right into a space as well as Rudy rested on a bed, where he was visualized with his hands in his trousers. Borat after that barged right into the space in underwear, leading Rudy to call the authorities — as well as later on, a warmed exchange in between Trump as well as Sacha after the film’s launch.

Rudy, that was not conscious that Maria as well as Sacha were stars as well as idea Maria was a reputable grown-up reporter, later on firmly insisted that his hand was not in his trousers for unsuitable factors. “I had to take off the electronic equipment,” Rudy stated in a meeting on Oct. 21. “And when the electronic equipment came off, some of it was in the back and my shirt came a little out, although my clothes were entirely on. I leaned back, and I tucked my shirt in, and at that point, at that point, they have this picture they take which looks doctored, but in any event, I’m tucking my shirt in. I assure you that’s all I was doing.”
