"Borat 2" star Sacha Baron Cohen has hit back at Rudy Giuliani's statement that the controversial video involving him and the actress was a 'complete fabrication.'

In an interview with ABC's Good Morning America, Sacha Baron Cohen defended the scene saying, "I would say that if the president's lawyer found what he did there appropriate behaviour, then heaven knows what he has done with other female journalists in hotel rooms," reported by Daily Mail.

"I urge everyone to watch the movie. It is what it is, he did what he did. Make your own mind up. It was pretty clear to us," the actor added.

The personal attorney of President Donald Trump and former New York City mayor became furious by the viral clip.

In the video, Giuliani is interviewed by Borat's fictional daughter Tutar, played by actress Maria Bakalova, where he compliments her on her looks, holds her hand, and then enters a bedroom with her.

Giuliani is shown appearing to recline on a bed with his hands down his trousers.

Giuliani tweeted on Wednesday: "The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment."

"At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar," Giuliani added.
