Elsewhere, Giuliani’s erratic personal behavior has raised eyebrows. In November 2020, while speaking at a press conference about the Trump campaign’s attempts to overturn their election loss toJoe Biden, he could be seen sweating profusely, to the point that hair dye appeared to begin dripping down the sides of his face. Footage of the press conference quickly went viral. Giuliani was also filmedshaving his facewhile seated in an airport restaurant in August 2021.
Additionally, Giuliani was the star of an infamous scene in 2020’sBorat Subsequent Moviefilm, in which he appears to put his hand down the front of his pants while leaning back onto a bed near actressMaria Bakalova, who was in character as Borat’s teenage daughter. Giuliani called the clip a “complete fabrication” and denied any inappropriate behavior.
