Cohen faces further 'Bruno' lawsuit?

Sacha Baron Cohen may be faced with another lawsuit tied to his movie character Bruno, it has been reported.

An elderly woman filed legal documents against Cohen earlier this month, claiming that she suffered "life-altering" injuries following a prank he filmed for his new comedy.

The New York Daily News reports that comedian Pauly Shore has threatened to sue Cohen over similarities between Bruno and his 2007 film Adopted, and a scene in which the gay Austrian journalist adopts an African baby, making quips about Angelina Jolie and Madonna.

The Encino Man actor has claimed that the sequence bears a striking resemblance to the tagline and trailer of his picture, about the public's fascination with stars adopting foreign children.

Shore is said to have contacted an attorney regarding the matter.

Bruno opens in cinemas on July 10.
