AceShowbiz - Sacha Baron Cohen and Sarah Silverman sent social media buzzing after they held hands on the red carpet of the 2024 Academy Museum Gala. However, sources exclusively told Page Six that the pair are "just dear friends," with Silverman having known Cohen and his ex-wife, Isla Fisher, for 20 years.
The besties' awkward poses on the carpet, which included Silverman leaning towards Cohen on one leg and standing with their legs apart in a robotic stance, sparked rumors of a potential romance. However, an insider confirmed that their bond remains purely platonic.
Cohen and Silverman have been photographed together on previous red carpets, including the 2019 Showtime series "Who Is America?" event. Their recent outing comes shortly after Cohen and Fisher announced their divorce in April after nearly 14 years of marriage.
Cohen and Fisher parted ways amicably, citing their "devotion and love" for their three children. They met in 2001 and have maintained a close relationship despite their split.
Amid the rumors, fans on social media have mocked Cohen and Silverman's poses, comparing them to "Madame Tussauds figures" and "awkward family photos." Silverman opted for a casual look in a gray strapless minidress while Cohen chose an all-black ensemble.
Sources emphasize that the duo's public display of affection was merely a sign of their long-standing friendship and that there is no romantic connection between them.
