Eminem Admits Bruno's Incident at MTV Movie Awards Was a Stunt
Eminem looked very upset when he was leaving Universal Ampitheatre after Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno landed his naked ass on Eminem's face during 2009 MTV Movie Awards held on Sunday afternoon, May 31. Many people speculated whether the incident was staged or real, but the rapper remained silence. Finally, he released a statement that the Bruno's ambush was rehearsed.

To RapRadar, Eminem said the stunt was Sacha's idea, saying "Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards." He, then, continued, "I'm a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag."

Eminem also admitted that after walking out from the building, he went back to his hotel room and couldn't stop laughing at the stunt. "After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about 3 hours. Especially after I saw it on air," he said.

Speaking on people's reaction to his and Bruno's incident at the movie awards event, Eminem told RapRadar, "I'm thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going 'nuts' so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it."
