Sacha Baron Cohen was threatened by gun-wielding hunters on the set of his new movie Bruno.
Cohen, 37, was on location in the US Deep South when three men, unaware they were being set up, reportedly got annoyed with the star.
When Cohen, playing the role of Bruno, started dancing around naked, the men reportedly picked up their guns after realising he was gay. Cohen and the cameraman then made a hasty escape.
A source said: “The crew thought something serious would happen. They were in the middle of nowhere. The hunters thought he was an Austrian TV presenter doing a travel piece. But his behaviour became outrageous.
“He said they were all like the Sex and the City girls and it went downhill from there. They went for their guns and loaded them in front of the camera. Sacha tried to calm them down but the men were furious, so they had to get out of there. Everyone was really shaken up by it all.”
