First Look at Sacha Baron Cohen On Set of The Dictator: Tracksuit of My Tears

Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming comedy The Dictator, about a ruler who "risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed," will apparently chronicle the delirious jingoism we expect from Borat's creator. In this new candid still, we see Cohen don Old Glory in a new and proud and funny and horrifying way.

He looks like a scrawnier, alternate American Gladiator named "Slick"! Or a middle-school gym teacher in the heartland! Or Sacha Baron Cohen in a new movie about a democracy-fearing dictator. That works too. Hopefully Ben Kingsley will be outfitted similarly.
