Stars — they have side hustles just like us! During a bonkers new interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Sacha Baron Cohen accidentally revealed that he’s been “selling” COVID-19 vaccines to his fellow celebrities. At this point, the operation has gotten so large that Sacha Baron Cohen’s wife Isla Fisher is helping with distribution, although she’s doing a bit more drinking than injecting. That’s certainly one way to convince your famous friends to award you an Oscar, isn’t it?
To be clear, Sacha Baron Cohen isn’t actually selling COVID-19 vaccines to celebrities (or is he?). On Thursday, the actor and comedian appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to discuss the Golden Globe-winning Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, but their Q&A was quickly interrupted by a series of repeated phone calls. Armed with an old-school flip phones — read: burner phones — Cohen answered repeated questions about his AstraZenaca and Pfizer stash from the likes of Chaz Bono, Tom Cruise, and Kanye West.
“Kanye! Yo, yo, yo,” said Cohen as he fielded a “call” from the rapper. “I can get you Johnson & Johnson … No, not Dakota and Dawn. The vacc — what do you mean you only need one? I’ve got you down for six. Oh, sorry, I hadn’t heard.”
About halfway through his interview with Kimmel, Cohen got so overwhelmed with calls that his wife Isla Fisher stepped in to help. “Honey! Ruffalo’s outside — here’s the cash,” she said, handing him a giant wad of bills. As Cohen grabbed the vaccines (plus an Oatly oat milk), Fisher chugged a vial behind him, which he seemed rightly concerned about. “Isla! You look higher than Don Jr. Have you been drinking any vaccines?” he asked. “How many have you had?”
“Two — I’ve had two!” she said, before revealing that she’s actually had 15.
“Oh my god!” replied Kimmel. “I think this is illegal, but it also seems like you should be focusing on your Oscar campaign. You’re nominated for awards, you’re nominated for SAG Awards — it seems like you should be focused on the Oscars right now.”
Of course, said Cohen, he is focused on the Oscars. “This is my Oscar campaign,” said the Borat star. “Jimmy, put it this way. None of the Hollywood Foreign Press are catching COVID any time soon.”
At that point, things took a turn for the worse, but I won’t spoil it for you. Instead, watch the wild Sacha Baron Cohen-Jimmy Kimmel interview above!
