Italian model Elisabetta Canalis flirted with General Aladeen as his new comedy, ‘The Dictator,’ opened in theaters today. Canalis and Sacha Baron Cohen, who starred as Aladeen in the film, participated in a stunt today at the Cannes Film Festival, which involved the actor pouring champagne all over her body.

The two laughed together and shared wine on the top deck of a yacht. Cohen also gave Canalis, who was in a pink bikini, a seductive massage. They even put sun tan lotion on each other while aboard the yacht.

However, Aladeen soon became tired with his new female friend; at one point, he dragged Canalis along the deck by her feet. The dictator then took her below deck, where one of his advisers appeared with a machine gun and body bag. Canalis tried to get off the ship before Aladeen killed her. He put her in the bag, and threw her over the side of the boat.

The boat incident was the latest series of pranks Cohen took part of in order to promote ‘The Dictator.’ Earlier today, he was seen brandishing a machine gun as he stood on a boat as it pulled into the dock outside the Eden Roc hotel.
