Did You Know That This Famous Actor Has Never Taken Corp Money?

Sasha Baron Cohen is Not Happy

Sasha Baron Cohen is suing Massachusetts-based Solar Therapeutics for copyright infringement and more, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The Company used the image of Sasha's character, Borat, giving a thumbs up, on a billboard. According to the report, his lawyers said:

By use of the Billboard, the Defendants falsely have conveyed to the public that Mr. Baron Cohen has endorsed their products and is affiliated with their business. To the contrary, Mr. Baron Cohen never has used cannabis in his life. He never would participate in an advertising campaign for cannabis, for any amount of money.
