Eminem not Bruno's first choice for ass crash

Sacha Baron Cohen first asked Paris Hilton to take part in the MTV Movie Awards stunt involving Bruno landing on a celebrity, before Eminem agreed.

Eminem was apparently not Sacha Baron Cohen's first choice of celeb when the idea of his alter ego Bruno landing arse first onto an famous audience member was first proposed for the MTV Movie Awards. As previously reported, Slim Shady pretended to storm out in a huff after Cohen's alter-ego of the moment, Gay Austrian TV presenter Bruno, landing on top of him after a deliberately failed attempt to reach the stage via a flying wire dressed as a half naked angel. But Slim Shady's people were only approached about participating in the routine once Baron Cohen's first choice Paris Hilton had politely declined.
