On October 13, the famous British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen turns 49 years old. To celebrate the birthday of the creator of Ali G, Borat, and Bruno, we decided to look back at the 3 best characters of Cohen – and these are not at all the comedy roles that you think of.

1. Hugo, 2011

Sacha Baron Cohen played a minor role in this film. Despite this, the audience really liked his hero – the station inspector Gustav, who works at the Montparnasse train station.

2. Alice Through the Looking Glass, 2016

This role for Sasha Baron Cohen is not at all comedic. To some extent, the viewer even empathizes with the Time character and hopes that everything turns out well.

3. The Spy, 2019

This is the first Cohen’s role, in which he plays not a comedian, not a funny boy or a tragic hero, but a man with hard and dangerous work. The hero of the series lives a double life and risks everything to help his country.
