Entertainment Weekly flags this anecdote from NPR's new interview with Sacha Baron Cohen (as himself) about his film Bruno, which was just released on DVD.
Cohen taped versions of the film’s Ron Paul scene with Tom Ridge, John Bolton, and Gary Bauer. (He says he ultimately went with Paul’s take because of its comedic prowess.)
Think it's just a Cohen lie? Nope. Because you can get those alternate scenes on DVD.

In addition, there are alternate scenes not used in the film involving Pete Rose, LaToya Jackson, former U.N. ambassador John Bolton, and former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge.
