It comes amid rumours Baron Cohen is set to perform at the AFL Grand Final in Perth later this month in character as late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.
The gossip started when a listener told Triple M’s Breakfast with Basil, Xav and Jenna on Monday they’d heard the news from a reliable source in the footy world.
‘Who is in Perth right now? Sacha,’ the caller said, noting how Baron Cohen and his family had travelled from Sydney to Western Australia last month.

Fisher, 45, told Stellar magazine in March she felt ‘safe’ in her home country after moving back to Australia with her family.
‘I just feel so safe, I suppose the word is cosy, when I’m in Australia. It’s where I grew up,’ said the Oman-born actress.
‘I’m the happiest when I’m home. I miss it when I’m not here. I don’t feel any pressure when I’m in Australia. I don’t have to say or do or be anything. I mean, I don’t even have to wear shoes.’
Isla and Sacha first met at a party in Sydney in 2002, and married in Paris in 2010 after she converted to the Jewish faith.
