As his alter egos Ali G and Borat, he has poked fun at celebrities and politicians.
But in his latest role, Sacha Baron Cohen appears to be taking aim at a subject a little closer to home.
The 53-year-old, accused of ‘sexually harassing’ and ‘degrading’ Australian actress Rebel Wilson on the set of his 2016 comedy Grimsby, is to star as a notorious womaniser in a film set in an alternative reality where women have all the power.
Scenes from Ladies First, which also stars Gone Girl actress Rosamund Pike, 45, were being shot in London last week.
Pictures reveal Ms Pike striding in a suit and heels while Cohen pole-dances around a lamppost.

Netflix says Cohen’s character ‘gets a real wake-up call’ when he finds himself in the parallel world.
But whether any of this is a tongue-in-cheek reference to events in his own life is anyone’s guess.
Cohen, who is divorcing actress wife Isla Fisher, rose to fame as fictional hip-hop lover Ali G, Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev and Austrian fashion show host Bruno Gehard.
In March, he got into a dispute with Ms Wilson ahead of the release of her memoir, Rebel Rising, in which she said she was asked to do things that were ‘derogatory to women or to my size’ while shooting Grimsby, and likened an actor – who she later said was Cohen – to a ‘fourth-grade bully who teases the fat girl on the playground and tries to make her life a living hell’.
Cohen denies the allegations, with his lawyers describing Ms Wilson’s claims as ‘demonstrably false’.
No release date has yet been set for Ladies First, which also stars Richard E. Grant.
