Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is best known for his role as Borat, and one of the most notable scenes is undoubtedly one where he walks in a mankini.

Sacha Baron Cohen was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role on Netflix’s “The Spy,” and his wife publicly congratulated him on Instagram and wrote about how much effort he put into the role.
“So proud of the Hubs Sacha Baron Cohen getting a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a limited series. He worked so hard transforming for his role in The Spy – not just getting rid of his dad-bod (see video) but learning three dialects, including Syrian and living in Casablanca, mainly in character for four months while shooting. This honor is shared with Eli Cohen’s family, thank you for letting him bring the story to the screen and to the HFPA,” she wrote next to the photo.
