Sacha Baron Cohen shows up at Wimbledon dressed as iconic character Ali G

1 hour ago 3

Amid reports that Sacha Baron Cohen is secretly filming a new Ali G movie, the star showed up dressed as that iconic character to Wimbledon

Spies saw the star — seated in section 215 — in the outrageous character’s full mode, in the stands in a white track jacket that says, “Official Wimbledon Ganja Dealer” on the back. 

He also was sporting a thick gold rope chain and other typical Ali G accoutrements.

The character — hailing from Staines-upon-Thames — first appeared on the UK’s “The 11 O’Clock Show” as the infamous “voice of da yoof.”

And like his “Borat” character, guests on Ali G’s show were usually duped by the star into thinking he was real. Ali G later got his own show and movie. 

A rep for the star didn’t comment. 

Cohen, 54, was also seen channeling the character from the stands in an Instagram upload on Sunday.
