Sacha Baron Cohen: ““I finished high school and there was a chef called Raymond Blanc. I went over to his restaurant and I asked to work there and he declined. He said I was too tall to work in the kitchen, and then I gave up my dream of becoming a chef."

Sacha Baron Cohen: This Time He’s Serious (Published 2020)

Reviving his Borat character and playing the political activist Abbie Hoffman, the actor feels he “had to ring the alarm bell and say that democracy is in peril this year.”
