Sacha Baron Cohen crashes fashion show

MILAN, Italy, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen took to the catwalk at a fashion show in Milan this week dressed as his flamboyant character, the Austrian model Bruno.

Cohen is best known for his roles in the films "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" and "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," as well as for his work on the HBO comedy series "Da Ali G Show."

E! Online said he was in Milan shooting his new big-screen comedy "Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male" when he decided to drop by uninvited to the Agatha Ruiz de la Prada presentation Thursday during Milan Fashion Week.

Security guards were called in after Cohen refused to leave the venue and the actor was taken to a local police station. However, he was not charged with any crime, E! Online said.
