Even more ridiculous than being the only Jew who hasn’t seen Borat, I incorrectly opined that everyone’s favorite Kazahk alter ego had taken over his creator. It turns out there’s still a regular guy under the cheap suit and he’s come up for some air: Rolling Stone has an interview with the real Sacha Baron Cohen (in excerpt form; for the full dealio, we’ll all have to shell out the newstand price.)

And just when you thought he couldn’t shock you any further, the man under the moustache reveals more surprises: He keeps kosher, has a bubbie who lives in Haifa and he’s kinda shy.
