MASTER OF THE HOUSE

Sacha Baron Cohen Becomes Landlord

Leases Hollywood home

Did his role in Les Miz inspire Sacha Baron Cohen to pursue a new line of work? After playing the kooky innkeeper Thenardier in the Academy Award–winning Les Misérables, the comedian and his wife, Isla Fisher, have leased a home in Hollywood Hills West for $10,000 a month. The 2,806-square-foot house includes a swimming pool, a spa, and an outdoor gym. The 41-year-old comedic actor, famous for his films Borat (2006), Bruno (2009), and The Dictator (2012), is working on his next upcoming film Freddie Mercury of Queen. Sadly, it's too late now to take a shot at having Borat as your landlord: the home was rented on Friday. Still, a fan can dream!
