In an article with the news agency, the actor revealed his filming experience and how a bulletproof jacket was not enough when he attended a right-wing rally, "A few times in my career, I have genuinely feared for my life and while filming my latest 'Borat' film, I showed up as a right-wing singer at a gun-rights rally in Washington State,'' he wrote for the magazine. ''When organizers finally stormed the stage, I rushed to a nearby get-away vehicle. An angry crowd blocked our way and started pounding on the vehicle with their fists.'' Watch the trailer here

Further, the actor recalled, how wearing a bulletproof vest was not even enough, ''Under my overalls, I was wearing a bulletproof vest, but it felt inadequate with some people outside toting semiautomatic weapons." and at one point, someone from the rally ripped the door of the car open and tried to drag him out.

"I used my entire body weight to pull the door back shut until our vehicle maneuvered free," he said. "I was fortunate to make it out in one piece. The next few weeks will determine whether America will be so lucky,” Sacha added.
