ollie Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Remember this guy? Looks like he's living large! I love the internets. Turkish man says he's the real Borat A Turkish Internet celebrity is so convinced he was the inspiration for Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat" character, he's traveling to London seeking an apology and a way to get paid from the film's surprise success. Mahir Cagri 44, became a cyber celebrity after posting a personal Web site in 1999, featuring unintentionally amusing photos of himself playing pingpong or the accordion and sunbathing in a skimpy bathing suit. Fans were captivated by his broken English and hilarious invitation to women: "Who is want to come TURKEY I can invitate ... She can stay my home."

zero Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I recall this guy and I have to say it seems likely that he was a partial inspiration for Cohen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
