Baron Cohen 19th most powerful man

Sacha Baron Cohen has made the top twenty in a list of the most powerful men in the country.

The Borat star was ranked 19th in GQ's 2007 list, a result which sees him finish ahead of Prince Charles.

"Not since John Lennon has an English entertainer had such an effect on the world," the magazine explained. "George Bush was briefed on him, the Kazakh government briefed against him and the film Borat … hit the No. 1 spot in America last autumn".

Gordon Brown topped the poll, with PM Tony Blair pipped into second place. In third place was the governor of the Bank Of England, Mervyn King.
