Sacha Baron Cohen in his latest comedy incarnation declared "Death to the West" last night at the premiere of his new film The Dictator.
As the dictator of a fictional country, Admiral General Aladeen, he arrived at the event in London’s Royal Festival Hall in an orange Lamborghini on the back of a tow truck. He was then escorted up the red carpet by a group of modelswearing military uniforms.
Baron Cohen told journalists: "Sorry I am late. I was doing some shopping at the British Home Stores and I got clamped. I refuse to pay your parking rates. And they call me the international war criminal! They should bring these parking attendants to The Hague."
The 40-year-old British comedian was later joined by the former Harrods boss Mohamed Al-Fayed to pose for photographs.
Baron Cohen said he was holding the premiere of his film in London because he had been banned from America. He revealed: "I just paid £300,000 to the Tory club and they said I can have dinner with David Cameron. Everybody has a price but Cameron's is just cheaper than the rest. For that they are also throwing in a foot massage from Mr Clegg."
Also attending the premiere was Baron Cohen's wife, actress Isla Fisher.
