Burning man bits is never a good thing. That's just what Sacha Baron Cohen had to deal with for his art. According to The Sun, reportedly experienced an allergic reaction after bleaching all his body hair for his forthcoming movie Bruno.
A source said: "Sacha is committed to as much realism as he can muster in his films - he'd heard that all-over hairlessness is a popular trend in the gay community, so he thought he'd bleach all his hair so it looked invisible, but it quickly turned into a disaster."
The source continued: "Shortly after having the procedure done he felt a burning sensation and it grew steadily worse. He had a bad allergic reaction to hydrogen peroxide, which is a strong bleaching agent. It was so severe around a certain part of his anatomy that he couldn't sit down for three days.
"He had to make an emergency appointment with the doctors, who gave him some medication to counter the irritation. Crew members found the whole incident hilarious and it slowed down filming for a bit, but Sacha soon got over the discomfort."
Ouch, ouch and ouch. I'm surprised that the incident wasn't incorporated into the film.
Bruno is in theaters on July 10.
