To my suprise it is reported that there is indeed a scene that was cut from *Brüno* where Sacha Baron Cohen, dressed in an exaggerated, flamboyant outfit, is physically chased and attacked by a group of Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem. In this scene, Cohen's character Brüno walked around in traditional religious areas of Jerusalem while provocatively dressed and acting flamboyantly, which was seen as offensive by some local Orthodox Jewish residents.
Cohen was reportedly recognized, and some individuals reacted aggressively to his appearance, leading to physical confrontation. This moment was deemed too sensitive and controversial, so it didn't make the final cut of the movie, though there were reports of the incident. Cohen later mentioned that they had to flee the area quickly to avoid further escalation.
This incident highlights just how risky some of the scenes were during the filming of *Brüno*, especially when dealing with deeply religious and conservative communities where Cohen's provocative satire could stir strong reactions.
