Sacha Baron Cohen, the comedian, is being considered for the role of Inspector Clouseau in a new remake of the Pink Panther films.
MGM producers are keen on having the 39-year-old follow the paths of Peter Sellers and Steve Martin. They believe that the humor of Ali G and Borat’s creator will nicely complement the clueless detective’s character in his list of roles.
However, let’s be honest…no matter how hilarious he is, it’s hard to imagine him filling Peter Sellers’ shoes. Yet, on the flip side, he couldn’t possibly be worse than Steve Martin, who was about as useful as a bag of lights.
