Borat 2: Maria Bakalova is breakout star from ‘Subsequent Moviefilm’

The breakout star who tricks Rudy Giuliani in the hotly anticipated new Borat film has been revealed as an award-winning Bulgarian actress.

The young actress filmed in a hotel room with Rudy Giuliani in the new Borat movie is a glamorous, award-winning Bulgarian star.

Maria Bakalova, 24, graduated from film school last year and has since skyrocketed onto the presidential scene after a clip from the new Borat film was released, showing Giuliani, 76, and Bakalova in a hotel room, The Sun reports.

In the clip, Bakalova, who plays Borat’s 15-year-old daughter Tutar, poses as a fake television reporter and asks Donald Trump’s personal lawyer to join her for a drink in a hotel suite – which was rigged with hidden cameras.

The former mayor of New York City can be seen fiddling with his untucked shirt and reaching into his pants as Bakalova removed her microphone.

They’re interrupted by the film’s protagonist Borat Sagdiyev, who barges in and declares that his 15-year-old daughter Tutar is “old for you”.

The 24-year-old actress has followed in the footsteps of many known Hollywood A-listers with Instagram posts in support of the Black Lives Matter movement – while also featuring luxurious poolside selfies taken in Los Angeles.

Bakalova has starred in feature-length Bulgarian films, which has earned her two awards for her performances – one in Transgression where she plays the lover of an ageing rocker and also as the leading actress in 2020 comedy Last Call.

She has also appeared in several TV shows, with a credit in an episode of the Italian hit mafia series Gamorrah three years ago.

Born in Burgas in 1996, she studied at the Bulgarian National School of Arts and is a trained flautist as well as an actress.

Bakalova attended the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts in Sofia and graduated in 2019.

Giuliani slammed the “totally sensationalised false account of a ridiculous movie” by “the idiot Borat,” a fictional character created by Baron Cohen.

The 24-year-old graduated from film school last year.

Bakalova is a Black Lives Matter supporter.

The 76-year-old lawyer said the scene filmed in July was a “hit job” and retaliation for him leaking the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop last week.

“It’s not an accident that it happens that I turn in all this evidence on their prince and darling Joe Biden who’s one of the biggest crooks in the last 30 years, and since I have the courage to say that I’m the target,” he told WABC radio.

“I’m a devil in Hollywood. Nothing about me comes in that period of time, nothing sensational about me in the movie.

“Now all of a sudden there’s all this sensational stuff about me in the movie. Don’t know if it was added, doctored, manipulated, whatever,” he said, adding that he prayed with Bakalova and was fully clothed at all times.

Giuliani said he then realised that something was strange when he was asked if he wanted a massage.

“She says something about, ‘Do I want a massage?’” the ex-mayor said.

“I realise now that this is a set-up and I call my security guy Brian who’s right outside. And then all of the sudden crazy Sacha Baron Cohen runs in with a cape on and he’s yelling and screaming all sorts of stupid stuff.”
