Cohen’s upcoming Bruno film may turn out to be more outrageous than Borat, as the actor has cast two professional homosexual porn stars to act in the coming film.

Casting agent David Forest was contacted by the production and he, Cohen and director Dan Mazer auditioned ten actors for the roles, ultimately settling on Paul Barba and John Martel.

Martel has a two dozen-film resume which include Grabby and GayVN award-nominated works. Meanwhile, Barba’s work can be found mostly on on-demand sites.

The two will be found in one scene where Cohen’s gay Austrian journalist enters Burbank’s Armano Hotel with some other men who try to get Bruno to join them in a five-man orgy. While Bruno refuses, he still watches them from the window.

It seems like Sacha Baron Cohen is pulling out all the stops for his upcoming Bruno movie, as he got into trouble once more following a near-arrest last week in Milan for storming a fashion show runway.

This time he invaded the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s show in Paris on Friday, unsuccessfully trying to hand a note to models parading down the runway. He then proceeded to jump on the catwalk and run to the curtain looking behind to hunt for the designer. Cohen was grabbed by a security guard who then threw him out of the show.

This, along with other stunts, was in aid of the upcoming comedy Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making a Heterosexual Male. It opens in theaters May 2009.

Baron Cohen is known for his crazy antics in Borat, but just how far is he willing to go for Bruno, his upcoming comedy about a gay European model in the States?

The Sun reports that he managed to bring together a former Israeli spy and a Palestinian academic into an interesting sketch. He was granted an interview with the pair in Jerusalem’s Old City under the guise of a youth documentary.

Cohen posed questions and various ridiculous statements about the Arab-Israeli conflict such as "Why didn’t you settle the conflict with a time share on the land?", "When will you Jews return the pyramids?" and finally "Your conflict is not so bad. Jennifer-Angelina is worse."

The film opens May 15, 2009.
