Donald Trump's personal attorney and adviser Rudy Giuliani has been caught in a very awkward and compromising scene in the new Borat sequel.
An embargo on reviews and reactions to the film has just been lifted, and critics all seem to be saying the same thing about the former Mayor of New York City.
Giuliani was reportedly in a scene with Borat's 15-year-old daughter Tutar - played by a 24-year-old actor named Maria Bakalova.

Tutar pretends to be a conservative TV journalist who had requested an interview with Giuliani. After their chat, Giuliani can reportedly been seen trying to hold her hand, give her compliments and follow her to the bedroom.
Bakalova's character then takes off their microphones and Giuliani is seen lying down on a bed and putting his hands down his pants.
The scene gets disrupted by Borat, who bursts into the room dressed in pink underwear and tells Giuliani: "She's 15, she's too old for you."

Giuliani has spoken out against the scene.
He wrote on Twitter: "The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment. At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate.
"If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar.
Giuliani addressed this incident months ago during an interview with the New York Post and said he called the police on the unknown man at the time.

He said: "This guy comes running in, wearing a crazy, what I would say was a pink transgender outfit. It was a pink bikini, with lace, underneath a translucent mesh top, it looked absurd. He had the beard, bare legs, and wasn't what I would call distractingly attractive.
"This person comes in yelling and screaming, and I thought this must be a scam or a shakedown, so I reported it to the police. He then ran away.
"I only later realised it must have been Sacha Baron Cohen. I thought about all the people he previously fooled and I felt good about myself because he didn't get me."
Giuliani's team felt they had stopped Cohen from embarrassing him and his Communications Director, Christianne Allen, put out a statement claiming victory.

"Rudy Giuliani foiled Sacha Cohen's attempted scam interview, ultimately ending in a stupefied Cohen," Ms Allen posted.
"At the conclusion of an interview for a documentary on Donald Trump's leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic, Cohen barged onto the set screaming hysterically while wearing a multi-coloured bikini with a mesh sash.
"Unfooled and placid, Mayor Giuliani notified security to call the police. It was then, upon hearing the word police, Cohen turned from a screaming banshee into a fleeing hyena."
However, the scenes right before Cohen burst through the door have created an almighty storm of their own.
