Sacha Baron Cohen will no longer play Borat: 'It got too dangerous'

Sacha Baron Cohen has said his goodbye to Borat.

Speaking on Entertainment Tonight alongside Eddie Redmayne and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, the 49-year-old said that playing Borat is too much pressure.

"It got too dangerous," Baron Cohen began.

"There were a couple of times I had to put on a bulletproof vest to go and shoot a scene, and you don't want to do that too many times in your life. I was pretty lucky to get out this time, so no, I'm not doing it again. I'm going to stay with the scripted stuff," he recalled filming the first two films.

Speaking about the anxiety he countered every day before his shoot, the comedian revealed it was too much to handle.

"The night before something like that — that rally — you're trying to go through everything that can go wrong," he explained to ET. 

"In a normal scene like what we're doing, we're trying to make sure, 'How do I make sure my performance is real? Have I done my research? How do I make sure the accent's perfect?' In this one you're going, 'Okay, if a bunch of guys with guns come from that side of the stage, have I got a way to get out? What happens if someone shoots me? What if a bunch of people start shooting me?' "
