Sacha Baron Cohen braves the chill for a morning swim in Sydney 

Sacha Baron Cohen has wholeheartedly embraced the Australian lifestyle since relocating Down Under with his family earlier this year.

And the 49-year-old comedian kicked off his Friday with an early morning swim at an outdoor pool in Sydney.

The Borat star braved the chilly weather for some light exercise in a grey and blue rash vest and black boardshorts. 

Life in Australia is going swimmingly! Sacha Baron Cohen kicked off his Friday with an early morning swim at an outdoor pool in Sydney

He streamlined his performance by wearing a black swimming cap as he swam laps. 

Before stepping into the cold water, he did a few stretches to limber up.

As he made his way down to the pool, he stopped and smiled at someone up on the balcony – perhaps a fan who recognised him.

Sacha braced himself for the cold water as he stepped into the pool, then launched into a breaststroke.

The funnyman took a few moments to get used to the temperature before he was able to really hit his stride.

The Ali G star appeared to be the only swimmer that morning, which was perhaps because he arrived at the pool so early. 

He enjoyed a whole lane to himself and swam at a brisk pace, enjoying the serenity.

About half an hour later, Sacha wrapped up his swim session and returned home.

The Les Misérables actor put on a casual outfit comprising a striped hoodie, grey trackpants and sneakers. 

He kept a low profile by wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, and slung a backpack over his shoulder.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 actor enjoyed a sunny morning stroll through a park.

He was then spotted chatting to a friend during his walk, and the two appeared to share an animated conversation.

But their catch-up was brief as the Oscar nominee soon continued on his way home.

Sacha’s morning swim comes after his latest film, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, explored some unsavoury and dangerous aspects of American life.

His wife, actress Isla Fisher, revealed last month her husband had kept details of the pranks he was pulling a secret from her during filming.

‘I’m so grateful I didn’t know before, so I didn’t have to worry,’ the Godmothered star, 45, admitted in an interview with Marie Claire Australia last month.

Sacha was away for 70 days shooting the Amazon Original movie, during which time Isla was in the dark about his exploits.

‘Sacha was very kind in not sharing what he intended to shoot each day,’ she said.

After he got home safe, he told his wife of one scene: ‘Oh, I was at a pro-gun rally; everyone was carrying guns.’

The scene in question depicted Sacha – as Borat – leading a racist singalong at a gun rally, before fleeing the event in a bulletproof vest after his real identity was exposed.

Elsewhere in the interview, Isla spoke about her marriage to the funnyman and their decision to relocate to Australia with their three children.

The notoriously private actress admitted she felt ‘very lucky to have met’ the Sacha at a party in Sydney in 2002.

‘I’m always surprised that I’m employed, married and have my family – everything else feels like a bonus,’ she added.
