Sacha Baron Cohen Career Retrospective | SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations

[@kiaraabbaszadeh2754]

All the interviews with Sacha Baron Cohen should be this long. He has so many good stories to tell.

[@investorsmeet]

The first

[@jeremywvarietyofviewpoints3104]

He's certainly a great storyteller. He never gets boring.

[@dimitriosdesmos4699]

yes unfortunately these are not stories.

[@alobo2811]

I could listen to him for 8 hours!

[@giag8130]

I fall asleep to his voice

[@ericzonsantos5662]

[@Camila-sv8tc]

A truly Vitruvian performer of this century. This format of interviewing was just right in revealing Sacha Baron Cohen's talent and humanity. "No ego" - a great lesson.

[@doctorfunkshock]

Really good interview, he's fantastically candid, and Jenelle is one of the best interviewers I've ever witnessed - always consistently well-informed and apposite in her questions but never intrusive -excellent on all counts.

[@KiLLJOY1056]

Absolutely agreed. Hoping to see more of her.

[@stephaniemccullough7725]

I swear I would listen to this man talk about anything. He should do a podcast.

[@littleripper312]

I seriously hope nothing bad ever happens to Sacha. He's right how people in crowds can lose control and can get scary. I imagine his family gets nervous with him doing these things.

[@KiLLJOY1056]

These days He's got undercover security and plenty people surrounding him but I understand still

[@mcdglm]

Such a good interview! Janelle knew when to talk and when to let Sacha talk. Inalways watch her interviews and she’s really good. Sacha is such a cerebral actor, the way he thinks about a character was very inteiguing esp the serendipity of how he evolved in his comedy. Thanks for this interview

[@ronniekrupa7578]

He is my favourite creator; witty, smart, talented, funny, humble, kind, genius, brave, curious, selfless... I could go on and on. His movies are made with such genius; they make you laugh while exposing the real issues, and all done via interaction with the public. A true comedic expose. Can he please make movies for the rest of his his life, and then speak for hours telling us his life stories?

[@niptodstan]

What a great interview. She wasn't interrupting him and he was very at ease.

[@KiLLJOY1056]

I really do appreciate this interviewer letting him speak and not caring about a paper full of bad questions or something like every other interview lately. I definitely hope to see a lot more of her. Love Sascha as always one of the funniest people I've ever seen.

[@sofarawayparis]

Sacha Baron Cohen is a Parrèsiast, a maker of truth. Brilliant, provocative and courageous. Essential.

[@empillay3626]

This is so fascinating :) always looked for actually Sacha interviews about his life. So good to see this and hear his story!!

[@mariocerame]

These stories are outstanding and inspiring. (And he has no idea how great and fascinating these stories are.)

[@bats88]

This is one of the greatest interviews I've ever seen. Fellow Sacha fans, this is a goldmine! He's a brilliant, generous, and incredibly funny man.

[@meganbreen1380]

what an insightful and compelling interview! rad and thorough job by the interviewer and so fascinating to hear all of Sacha's stories and methods unrushed in this longer format. Thanks!!

[@DubSte11]

I love this long form style of interview, the actors really open up! Brilliant!! Thank you so much for these. Sacha is a legend too!!

[@oksygin]

The best one of all interviews! And I saw millions of them! Yes, let the talent speak! 💛

[@bawbtherevelator6445]

Thank you for this! I'm discovering this by accident in LA, CA, USA at 3am on 9/29, a few day before my 83rd BD. I need to watch this later this date whenever my long suffering #1 Daughter rolls me out of bed, fresh for a new COVID day. Cohen would be my hero except he's way my junior and those with heroes younger than themselves embarrass me. Still, the man worked his ass off and took his life in his hands last year to dis-elect Trump but one man can't do everything...

[@stoker1931jane]

I never really understood Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G, Borat and Brüno films. But my opinion of him and his work has undergone a total turnaround. I now totally get why he didn't like to give interviews: "as himself", "out of character". And didn't want to explain himself and give away his "game". But I'm sooo glad he has now decided to finally open-up and share, what his process & aim were: with those particular movies. Such a deep thought process behind it all. What a disciplined actor and creative mind. When I saw his keynote address, back in November 2019, at the Anti Defamation League (ADL). On 'Anti-Semitism and Hate', it was the first time I developed an instant and deep respect for him. I felt the urge to share that political speech publicly on FB (yeah kind of ironic😅, as Sacha slams FB👏🏻👏🏻). In the hope people would hear/heed his important message! www.adl.org/news/article/sacha-baron-cohens-keynote-address-at-adls-2019-never-is-now-summit-on-anti-semitism This was also such a wonderful interview👍🏻. Giving him room to just talk. He is so eloquent👌🏻❤️. Ever time he said; "Tell me when I need to shut up" I would just shout out loud; "Oh no, no, please keep talking!!"😅

[@lizlesbian660]

Dont forget king Julien he voiced him also?

[@selamotshwane9338]

This is brilliant. If you know London & Cambridge these are good memories

[@ericjacobson1615]

I can't stop watching this interview. Fascinating.

[@allenzillmer1917]

This is SOLID GOLD! Sacha is the best

[@jojomarch]

This was wonderful, so interesting. I could definitely have listened to Sacha talk for longer

[@Adefrenne]

Borat never gets Boring. Very Nice interview!!

[@carmennoemiguzman9873]

Absolutely!!! The Words reveal who this character IS! Love this interview....Mr. SB Cohen...you could never go on long enough! You're Awesome

[@louiselanthier5135]

I watched the Bruno movie last night (as a treat). Wow! I was scared for him many times! Great interview! I am so glad you talked about him!

[@miololix]

Such an amazing conversation! It seems like his relationship with the costumes department is significant. I'd love to see an interview with him where he speaks more about it!

[@michaelfitzgeraldwazowski]

loved this so much ❤️ wonderful interview and great interviewer, great job

[@DanielaDePaulis]

Thank you for this wonderful interview, it was more of a masterclass on performance art.

[@KJ1234]

Best Sacha Baron Cohen interview 😍 Loved it!

[@kingpharole56]

Thank you for helping me Baron Cohen for your truth and not the facts. You break the business down in away you can be at peace with it.

[@willdoitasap]

So powerful. Interviewer and SBC just fantastic. Well done 👏

[@carmennoemiguzman9873]

The only thing that's allowed to have an Ego, is the Movie itself!!! Yes baby!!

[@giag8130]

His voice is calming... if you see this please make a sleep story for CALM

[@joshkidd2075]

Such a great interview. Cohen's stories about getting started were very interesting as well as his process for preparing for his roles. I looked up his Charlie Chaplin award, with the background info from this interview, it was incredibly funny.

[@godbless14ful]

An important lesson to all. He showed resilience and courage when others never believed in him. He went after what he wanted to do and is now the ultimate 'harlequin' jester. Not sure there will be another of his like again.

[@mikekillagreen9432]

Long story long. Lol. This was great. Wonderful info and as usual Jeanelle is the best at interviews this side of the late James Lipton

[@prarthanadutta6934]

I admire him so much

[@MrKnobs5]

What a great interview. The best!

[@karibu1361]

~💞~ I love this interview of Sacha, by Jenelle. Excellently done...I could listen to Sacha speak for hours. He has a captivating voice & mesmerizing eyes...I too loved being in plays in HS & college....I studied my lines prior to getting class assignments done - average began to fall - opps!!! I starred in Anton Chekhov's "The Boor" also known as (The Bear), as Mrs. Popov during my sophomore year...Congratulations to Sacha on the awards received & blessings for many more. ~💞~

[@littleripper312]

I just realized he was doing KZbin before KZbin.

[@mariajoserodrigues4488]

Great Interview with such a smart, sensible Sacha Cohen. A talent who should be working.

[@Msbeatricemay]

Im in love with him

[@leticiacavalheiro3577]

Who isn't? The man is amazing|

[@dianepeker]

So good! Thank you!

[@bawbtherevelator6445]

[SAME DAY hours later]: Terrific interview. Thanks again! BTW, Jenelle, you had a great subject but you're in legendary Terry Gross country as an interviewer. :)

[@FXCartel]

He is an absolute genius. I had the Ali g book that was made and basically even more bio and info and carried on in the same language. Wether he wrote it or not but the way he goes all out and comitted to everything be does is inspiring to say the least

[@mole1596]

Let's be honest, that's a podcast. Both of them were brilliant. Sacha is full of stories...

[@jsheekey1]

Jenelle is a great interviewer & sasha is gorgeous 💕

[@boumboumzackpoum1633]

Great, really interesting interview!

[@melissahdawn]

Great interview! I had just seen a similar thing where as part of a course, a woman was undercover and through the course it was imperative not to break cover, and was sooooo taken by the idea that she was an actor acting like someone else. The mental fatigue seemed astronomical, but I loved it. Long story short, when Sascha talks about this as a type of acting, fireworks went off in my brain! This is Brilliant!!! I never realized what I was so impressed by before. Click. (dare I admit how out of touch I am I have never seen Borat)

[@beccareynolds4625]

Oh my gosh!!! I hope you have watched it now?

[@napoleonbonerfarte6739]

I hope you've seen all his Ali G segments on KZbin, brilliant stuff

[@nloue]

So interesting to listen to. A talent too!

[@yourmajesty1630]

who's america... masterpiece

[@SantaRozeDelvadoress]

loool this is so hilarious him constantly saying tell me if its too long, every 10 min or so, tell me its too much, you can cut it out anyways loool :D nooo we want it longer, we want 10h interview lol week long interview :D

[@rebeccao8895]

Brilliant discussion. Thank you!

[@niepoczytalna8310]

Well... That wasn't discussion. It was more like a monologue.

[@Samaprzezswiat]

brilliant interview

[@IdkWhatUsernameG]

Sacha is the best

[@lionsingh18]

Genius and balls of fire

[@misswendy_]

Sacha is brilliant. 💞

[@paullesniak3791]

Super inteligent/interesting guy. True artist.

[@TesterAnimal1]

This is fantastic!

[@RashaadGenie]

We need a part 2!

[@yourmajesty1630]

yeah he is a great interview always fun and interesting. he is so different. i could listen to him talk about abbie hoffman all day. anything. and jennine. she lost weight and looks so pretty.

[@richardedenfield5167]

The person that did what he did before he did it was Oscar Wilde. Except in Wilde's case the character was Wilde himself.

[@marlenehodgdon8463]

I Want to work with your fearless, enchanted mind!.

[@Rexxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

😂

[@atmoms2]

Genius.

[@carolmcbrideonline]

Fabulous!

[@Mikaila171]

Amazing human

[@ManjulaD]

this host is so nice. l

[@ItsameAlex]

I hope he tells us about the disastrous trip to Astrahan!

[@jasonbuxton1260]

The funniest and saddest thing, is the total raised for SAG-AFTRA Foundation Support for performers and children's literacy $174 in 4 months. Good to see the working and wealthy actors are so supportive.

[@SAGAFTRAFoundation]

Hi Jason, this number only reflects the donations made directly through KZbin. Many of our patrons donate through the link on our website!

[@mrdryst7265]

Imagine a Sasha Baron Cohen "Clown Masterclass". Be like printing money.

[@yourmajesty1630]

i think abbey hoffman was murdered. i forget the particulars, he was killed in pennsylvania by the government. but when i read about what happened it sounded suspcious and i though the he was killed. but they made it look like an accident. apparently he also suffered from schizophrenia. god rest his soul

[@augure2589]

Jean Girard!

[@nononouh]

16:00

[@MrTomherzog]

Sacha appears to be left-handed. He's wearing his wrist watch on his right wrist. (Like me.) No wonder he's such an odd-ball!

[@ambrosuabaliarte5682]

I thought the jewish lady in the temple was in on it

[@allisonmartin3982]

1:21:55

[@lukeluke7082]

Shit I thought Borat wife died in an accident at work not from a bear

[@PompeyBoy66]

Good interview. As a Christian Conservative and Trump supporter I disagree with his view of President Trump. The media representation of Trump is a caricature and not really him. The Trump family have been friends to Israel for years. British liberals are wrong on every issue from Abortion to Zionism. Mr Cohen is funny though.

[@eyedownload]

The comparison to Charlie Chaplin is spot on! Sacha Baron Cohen is an absolutely brilliant satirist of human foibles and follies and does it right under our noses! What a brilliant trick to satirize some of the more evil factions while giving the remainder of us a way to laugh wholeheartedly at it all and to experience some well needed comic relief! ! He is a real gift to us all, no matter what camp we are in!

[@75YBA]

Genius.
