Memorable Moments
- At the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, Cohen (in character as Brüno) descended from the ceiling during the show and landed with his crotch in the face of Eminem, a rapper who was at the time mounting a comeback and is often criticized for his homophobic lyrics. Eminem angrily stormed out of the auditorium after the incident, leading many to believe that he was the victim of a prank by Cohen. In the following days, Eminem would say that he was in on it the entire time. Paris Hilton at one point said she was the original "victim" of the prank but eventually refused.
