Beachgoers at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach were left stunned on Thursday after dozens of Borats in very questionable mankinis briefly took over the famous stretch of sand.
The hilarious publicity stunt adds to the anticipation of Friday’s global release of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.
The popular eastern suburbs hub was even re-branded ‘Borat Beach’ ahead of tomorrow’s movie release in more than 200 countries and territories globally.

In amazing scenes, a six metre sculpture of Mr Borat Sagdiyev now proudly sits in Bondi’s Marks Park.
It was transported across Sydney Harbour in a military helicopter although is unlikely to fill the void left by Sculptures by the Sea which has been cancelled this year due to COVID-19.
In almost every direction, Kazakhstan flags could be seen, as beefed up Bondi locals shared their park with moustachioed Borat look-a-likes.
Mask-clad Kazakhstanis were spotted riding up and down the Pavilion on segways and a Borat-inspired yoga class was a show-stopping spectacle on the sand.
A series of surfing lessons also provided a chance for the Borat dopplegangers to showcase their ability in the ocean.
Borat, the man himself, even took time out to celebrate the occasion by speaking at a virtual press conference.
He confirmed the his erected statute has ‘been in quarantine’ in a Melbourne Hotel for 14 days, and was ‘probably’ COVID-19 free.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm premieres on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, 23 October.
