Sacha Baron Cohen is reportedly in fear for his life after receiving death threats from a suspected terrorist group.

The funnyman has sparked controversy worldwide with the release of his movie Bruno, based on an outrageous Austrian fashionista.

According to Britain’s Star, lawyers for Cohen have confirmed that the star is being targeted by a group “that has claimed responsibility for recent terrorist attacks” thanks to his recent antics on the big screen.

In the film, Bruno is kidnapped by the armed Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and is seen ridiculing the Islamic group’s leader Ayman Abu Aita.

In a statement, the Martyrs’ Brigade says, “This was a dirty use of our brother Ayman and we don’t accept that the name of the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade is part of the movie. We reserve the right to respond in the way that we feel suitable.”
