The Dicator is definitely one of the strangest comedies of the year, and Renee Peterson sat down with the cast of the film to talk about what life was like on Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest film.

Anna Faris grew out her underarm hair to play her hippie character — and yes, it was all her own hair.

She told thehothits.com, “It was itchy, it was uncomfortable, it was incredibly thick and long. And for some reason when they asked me to grow it out I thought yeah that’s no big deal, it will probably be thin and whispy and kind of cute even under certain circumstances.

“But no. It was just revolting. I had no idea that I had the capacity, the ability!”

Anna also explained how she kept a straight face around Sacha Baron Cohen when he was in character!
