Found in: Movies, ReviewsSacha Baron Cohen's Brüno threatened with an NC-17
An early cut of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Brüno was only offered an NC-17 certificate from the MPAA because of graphic sexual content, Universal confirmed this week.

While Sacha Baron Cohen recently announced the retirement of his Borat and Ali G personalities (though Brüno will still likely be coming out in 2008), surely this latest announcement is indicative of the actor's quickly rising star.
