Sacha Baron Cohen as ‘The Dictator’



(Paramount)

The first photo of Sacha Baron Cohen in costume as The Dictator has surfaced.

According to Paramount, “The film tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.”

The movie is inspired by Zabibah and the King, a book supposedly written by Saddam Hussein about a monarch in the Middle East.

In the film, Cohen plays both the dictator and a lookalike goat herder who replaces him.

It’s directed by Larry Charles, the guy behind Cohen’s hits Borat and Bruno.

The Dictator is scheduled for a May 2012 release.
