[VIDEO] Hollywood Pig, Sasha Baron Cohen: New Movie Has “Fairy Tale Ending…Donald Trump Gets AIDS”

First and foremost, I can’t even begin to express how in such bad taste it is to joke or wish someone would contract A.I.D.S.. There are millions of people with the terminal disease who find it to be no joking matter.

Comedian and director Sacha Baron Cohen defended his newest film The Brothers Grimsby from criticism on SiriusXM’s Opie with Jim Norton, saying that having Donald Trump contract AIDS was a “fairy tale ending.”

“It’s a fairy tale ending, so Donald Trump gets AIDS,” he joked when discussing the movie.

Opie then quizzed Cohen on the rumors that Sony executives tried to get him to change the ending. Cohen responded that any studio would be concerned about that, especially since Trump is famously litigious.

“Obviously there’s some complaints because it’s very, very bad associating AIDS with Donald Trump, particularly for AIDS,” he joked to laughter. “It’s a thing that potentially can cause harm to millions of people, which is why I suggest you don’t vote for him.”

He said that there was a bit of fight when Sony put in a disclaimer at the end saying that no, Donald Trump is not actually HIV-positive. “I don’t know if he’s HIV positive,” he said. “He’s been promiscuous, you know. Let’s see his STD certificate.”
