Sacha Baron Cohen's Brüno character has admitted that he fancies Australia's Prime Minister.

The Borat star arrived late on Monday to the Sydney premiere of his latest comedy, in which he portrays a gay Austrian fashion reporter. He told reporters that he had met Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on a talkshow the previous evening, according to The Huffington Post.

The actor turned up in the guise of his alter ego, dressed in a tight-fitted school boys uniform.

He said: "The reason I'm late is I just had breakfast in bed with Kevin Rudd. That guy is like, uber cute. I thought Obama was, like, the hottest guy in the world until I met Kevin."

Rudd admitted that he had reservations about appearing with the comedian on the popular Rove Live programme. He added: "Basically I was in a state of induced panic."

Cohen recently posed nude on the cover of GQ as Brüno, which will be released to cinemas on July 10.
