‘I’m very fond of that handlebar moustache. I adore Borat; I adore all the characters. I’ve lived with all of them for almost 20 years.’
It comes one month after Sacha claimed he ‘can’t’return to the role of Borat after nearly being shot at a pro-Trump gun rally in the film’s sequel.
The comedian, 49, told NPR’s Fresh Air, his days getting in disguise were over as he felt his luck would ‘run out’ eventually.

When asked if he’d consider going undercover again, Sacha reflected: ‘I think I’d be mad to. I was so angry with what was going on in America. And I’m not an American citizen, but I was scared for America.’
‘I was scared for the rest of the world because I knew that if – I felt that if democracy was completely dismantled in America, then other democracies around the world would follow suit, and other authoritarian leaders would do the same.
‘And I felt I had to take a stand. So no, I can’t do this again. Firstly, just practically, at some point, your luck runs out.’

In 2019 Sacha revived his character for last year’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the sequel to 2006’s Borat.
Last year, Isla told the Herald Sun she prefers not to know what escapades Sacha gets up to when playing his famous character, Borat.
‘I’m lucky in that I’m not privy to the information usually until it happens, so I don’t see that he was at a gun rally until he’s home safe,’ she explained.
‘I think he’s learnt the hard way that if he gives me the information up front, that I put the kibosh on it.
‘I find out what’s happened afterwards, and that’s how I can sleep at night, otherwise I’d be too worried.’
