Cinemas across the country were forced to turn away under-18 customers who were trying to get in to see the movie, prompting the studio to assemble a 15 certificate version for release on July 24.
The recut Brüno is 110 seconds shorter than the original, which features scenes of the Austrian fashion presenter having sex with his pygmy boyfriend and fellating the ghost of Milli Vanilli's Rob Pilatus.
"Due to the overwhelming demand by fans who are desperate to see the film, we're really pleased to be able to offer a 15 certificate version," said Universal Pictures International president David Kosse.
"Both of these versions will allow many more of Brüno's fans in the UK to enjoy the film."
