Sacha Baron Cohen strips down and shows off his muscular physique as he enjoys a swim at a Sydney beach

Sacha Baron Cohen has called Australia home since last year.  

On Saturday, the British comedian, 49, was looking nothing like his famous Borat character when he showed off his fit physique during a swim at a Sydney beach. 

The actor emerged from the water on what was a warm but gloomy day with his muscular form on full display.

Looking relaxed and blending in with the locals, Sacha strolled from the water without a care in the world. 

He had on a pair of black shorts that were just above knee length and went shirtless for his swim. 

The comedian strolled along the sand before towelling off when he was back on dry land on the beach.

Isla and Sacha relocated from Los Angeles to Sydney, along with their children, in December. 

And while it’s been widely speculated that they moved Down Under to escape the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the US, new reports claim they were actually fleeing America’s tumultuous political climate.

‘They didn’t want to raise their kids in Trump’s America,’ an insider told The Sydney Morning Herald of the couple’s decision to move to Australia.
