Bruno insists he was fashionable before he was born

Austrian fashion reporter Bruno – the latest alter-ego of Sacha Baron Cohen – says he was trying out new trends and style before he was even born..

He said: “With me, it was clear from the start ich vas destined to be one of ze beautiful people – in ze first ultrasound picture ever taken of me in mein mutter’s womb, you can clearly see zat I’d taken ze umbilical cord und wrapped it round my waist with a knot at ze side, like a Marc Jacobs snakeskin serpentine belt.”

Bruno also revealed he got into trouble making one of his favourite outfits as he stole cats from old people to make it.

He added to Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper: “My favourite all-time item of clothing has to be mein yellow lederhosen. If zey could talk, zey would probably ask to be vashed. Also, ich have ein catsuit actually made of cat fur. Ich got in ein lot of trouble about zat, but all ze cats vere taken from old people who would probably not remember zem anyway.”
