Cohen hires Iglesias's 'underwear' minder

Sacha Baron Cohen hired singer Enrique Iglesias's bodyguard for his interview with a terrorist because nobody else would agree to do the job.

The comedy writer has revealed that he found it difficult to get any security guards to agree to accompany his Austrian character Brüno to interview a middle Eastern killer.

The Borat star said: "We called around some security firms and everyone said 'no way' and eventually I found one guy... who had done the Enrique Iglesias 'Hero' tour. His main job had been protecting Enrique from flying underwear."

When asked what he thinks will happen if the terrorist sees the film, Cohen replied: "I pray to God [he won't]."
