Sacha Baron Cohen Walks the Red Carpet as General Aladeen
Sacha Baron Cohen showed up the the Oscars Red Carpet dressed as his latest alter ego, General Aladeen, from The Dictator. He pulled up on a white stretch limo adorned with Wadiya flags and brought a pair of models dressed in military outfits as his dates. John Galliano designed his uniform and Baren Cohen wore Kmart socks to complete his ensamble.
Baron Cohen also had an urn with him that he claimed contained the late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il’s ashes.Unfortunately, somehow some of these ashes ended up on Ryan Seacrest’s tuxedo as he was interviewing Baron Cohen. Once Baron Cohen made it past the red carpet, he went upstairs, likely to change out of his character. .
