First look at Sacha Baron Cohen as The Dictator!

Check out this very hairy first look at Sacha Baron Cohen (”Borat”, ”Bruno”) in his upcoming comedy, ”The Dictator” thanks to the Huff Post.

Directed by Larry Charles, the film tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. It is inspired by the best selling novel “Zabibah and The King” by Saddam Hussein.

Set to be distributed by Paramount Pictures, the film will be released on May 12, 2012 and co-stars Anna Faris and Ben Kingsley. Cohen also wrote the script.
