The man behind Ali G, Borat and Brüno is back…
Written by and starring Sacha Baron Cohen, Grimsby tells the tale of Nobby, a man from Grimsby who has everything he could ever want – 9 children and a girlfriend, Lindsey (Rebel Wilson), he loves more than anything.
There’s one thing missing in his life though: his little brother, Sebastian (Mark Strong), who he was cruelly separated from as a child.
After 28 years of searching though, Nobby has finally tracked his brother down – unaware that he’s now a deadly MI6 assassin.
Bloody younger brothers, always over-achieving.
After a disastrous reunion in which Nobby accidentally ruins Sebastian’s life (as you do) and forces both of them to go on the run, they uncover a plot to destroy the world.
In order to save the whole world, and his brother, Nobby has to embark on a secret mission and transform himself from complete idiot to sophisticated secret agent.
To mark the release of Grimsby in Irish cinemas on 24 February, we caught up with the film’s star and comedy genius, Sacha Baron Cohen, to chat about his most famous comic creations, making a badass action film to better Bond, and we get an insight into a certain explicit elephant-related scene from Grimsby “that makes the naked fight in Borat look like a Disney movie.”
Charming.
Enjoy…
