Last week, we got our first official peek at The Dictator, Sacha Baron Cohen’s upcoming satire about a foreign tyrant who gets booted from his own country. Today, we’ve got a glimpse of a what looks like a totally new character, caught on film outside a French restaurant on NYC’s Upper East Side. (Check it out after the jump!)

So who is this guy? Let’s examine the details: Crocs, elastic-waist shorts, curly hair, white wine, sole meunière. Could he be another flouncy buffoon, à la Brüno? Some sort of fashion-backward Manhattanite? Or maybe even the Dictator himself, trying to adapt to life in the US? We’ll probably be wondering for a while, since the movie has a May 2012 release date. But for now, head to the comments and let the speculation begin!

This can’t be how Freddie Mercury started out
I heard awhile back that he was going to play Freddie in a biopic, I think he would be perfect for that role. Do anyone know is that still happening?
Not Freddie Mercury…John Oats
You’re right, Dee, he was supposed to play Mercury. I just checked his IMDB page and unfortunately the movie is no longer listed, so maybe they scrapped the project…?
Bored already.
Hilarious.
He–well, his face–looks like Zoolander in this (Blue Steel!).
