‘Borat 2’ star Maria Bakalova was ‘nervous’ for Rudy Giuliani scene: ‘My heart was racing’
Giuliani is shown sitting for an interview in a New York hotel site with Borat’s teenage daughter, Tutar (Bakalova), and the two go into the bedroom for a post-talk drink. After Bakalova untucks Giuliani’s shirt to get his mic, he lays down on the bed and puts his hand in his pants. Soon after, Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) bursts in wearing women’s lingerie on his briefs to reveal the prank. “She’s 15, she’s too old for you,” he tells Giuliani.
In an interview with the New York Times Wednesday, the Bulgarian actress, 24, said she felt nervous during the scene.
Giuliani responded to the viral scene on Twitter calling it “a complete fabrication.” And on his radio show, Giuliani blamed the “hit job” on him obtaining a hard drive from a laptop purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, son of President-elect Joe Biden, that allegedly documents business dealings in Ukraine.
According to Giuliani, as the electronic equipment was being taken off in the “Borat” scene, “some of it was in the back and my shirt came a little out, although my clothes were entirely on,” he explained. “I leaned back, and I tucked my shirt in, and 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.”
