Bruno Crashs Anti-Gay Rally

Sacha Baron Cohen holds up a sign during a Yes on Prop. 8 rally, on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2008 in Los Angeles.

The 37-year-old British comedian was at the rally shooting his not-yet-titled movie as his alter ego Bruno, gay Austrian fashion reporter. Proposition 8 would overturn the California Supreme Court’s decision earlier this year to legalize same-sex marriage.

When photographers and reporters realized who he was, his film crew shielded him and he was whisked away in a van.

The Bruno movie has a release date of May 15, 2009.
