How cute.
Jews so cute, with their cute jokes.
A scene in the upcoming Sacha Baron Cohen film The Brothers Grimsby, in which Donald Trump contracts AIDS, reportedly has Sony executives worried about potential blowback from the Republican presidential frontrunner.
…
Metro reports that in a scene in the latter half of the film, Trump contracts AIDS after accidentally swallowing the blood of Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe (played in the film by a double), who contracts the virus earlier in the film. The Telegraph reports that the scene was originally written to have the Queen of England contract the virus, but it was deemed to be too offensive and switched out for Trump in the final cut.
The UK paper reports that the scene in which Trump contracts AIDS drew “loud cheering” at the film’s premiere, and the Huffington Post adds that it drew standing ovations at screenings across Europe.
With Trump inching closer to securing the Republican nomination, executives at Sony are reportedly working to minimize the impact of the joke, and, according to Huffington Post, have significantly scaled back the film’s American marketing efforts.
“If you were told that they’re shying away from the movie because of the political implications, I can tell you that’s 100 percent true,” a “well-placed source” told the outlet. Another source added that a traditional marketing campaign for the film in the U.S., which would ordinarily include billboards, TV and digital advertising, has been nonexistent.
A disclaimer has reportedly been added to the end of the film, stating that both Trump and Radcliffe did not participate in its production.
