Trump blasts Sacha Baron Cohen’s Oscar stunt
Donald Trump has condemned Sacha Baron Cohen for pouring ‘ashes’ on Ryan Seacrest on the Academy Awards red carpet.
The comedian then dumped the ashes all over Seacrest while being interviewed on E!‘s live pre-show telecast.
Seacrest – who has insisted he had no idea about the prank beforehand – has been defended byCelebrity Apprentice host Trump, who slammed Cohen in a new web video.
“This third-rate character named Sacha Baron Cohen thought he was being cute and funny when he threw ashes at Ryan Seacrest. I know Ryan Seacrest – he’s a great guy… it was disgraceful,” Trump declared.
Trump went to criticise the security guard on the scene for not taking the urn away from Cohen and also insisted that the comic deserves serious repercussions for his actions.
Trump was actually the victim of one of Cohen’s previous pranks in 2003 when he was interviewed by the actor’s alter ego Ali G.
