ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Fictional character General Aladeen of the country of Wadiya, played by British comic Sacha Baron Cohen talked about his Hollywood "conquests" and jokingly urged Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel to get a sex change operation to become a woman.
Cohen, as with his previous comedic roles as the Kazakhstan journalist "Borat" and gay Austrian fashionista "Bruno", remained in character at all times throughout the world premiere of the film.
Aladeen is Cohen's outlandish comedy character for the upcoming mockumentary film "The Dictator," about the oppressive ruler of fictional Republic of Wadiya who is hellbent on keeping democracy at bay during his reign of terror.
Flanked by female bodyguards, similar to late Libyan prime minister Muammar Gaddafi, Aladeen rolled onto the red carpet with his orange Lamborghini atop a flatbed truck.
He told a German news crew that their chancellor should consider changing genders.
"By the way Angela Merkel you need to look after your appearance. I think Merkel would be more successful if Merkel has a sex change and becomes a woman."
Aladeen also commented on Hollywood celebrities he's had sex with including actress Hilary Duff, former talk show host Oprah Winfrey, and "Knocked Up" comic actor Seth Rogan, of which Aladeen admitted "He didn't touch me. I did him. It was a bet between me and Gaddafi. And I lost."
"The Dictator" will open in the UK and U.S. on May 16.
