Bruno might have a crush on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, but Australian men in general don't impress him.

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego, gay Austrian fashionista Bruno, is in Australia for the premiere of his self-titled movie in Sydney.

Facing the media in a schoolboy's uniform on Monday, Bruno gave the PM top marks.

"The reason I'm late is I just had breakfast in bed with Kevin Rudd. That guy is like, uber cute," Bruno said.

"I thought Obama was like the hottest guy in the world until I met Kevin.

"I did to him last night what Malcolm Turnbull has been trying to do to him for the last couple of weeks."

But he said Australian men's style left him feeling a little flat.

"To be honest I'm a little bit disappointed because I know 150 years ago Britain sent all their gay guys over here, so ich expected a little bit more flair," he said.

One other Aussie celebrity did impress Bruno.

"One guy who does dress well is Keith Urban," he said.

"I love him but I prefer him without the beard. What's her name, Nicole?"
