SACHA Baron Cohen has brought back the iconic Ali G character at Wimbledon ahead of a new film.
Sacha, 54, first played faux-streetwise poseur from Staines in 1998 on The 11 O’Clock Show before landing his own series, Da Ali G Show.
Sacha last played Ali G in 2014 but at the men’s singles final at Wimbledon on Sunday, the star resurrected the character.
Sitting in Centre Court, Ali wore a Wimbledon-coloured tracksuit with the motif ‘Official Ganja Dealer’ on the back, hat, heavy gold chain and glasses, Sacha sported his alter ego‘s facial hair, and attitude.
Ali also joined Instagram to share videos from the tournament and said: “I iz BACK!
“And if u iz at dis borin wimbledore final lookin 2 get grand slammed, I iz here wif de hookup. dm me, especially if u iz fit.”
He also shared a shot of a DVD of his TV series and wrote: “dm me if u want to buy one of these DVD box sets.
“Me iz got like 10,000 of dem. Dey iz very rare. Free pickup in the northwest surrey area.”
Sacha’s appearance at Wimbledon as Ali G comes as he prepares a new film for his comic creation.
While few details are known at the moment, in July last year, The Sun exclusively revealed pictures of Sacha in character as Ali as he filmed in a Cotswolds zoo park.
A passer-by who saw the filming in Chipping Norton, said: “He was with a whole film crew and was in full character.
“He seemed very comfortable in the role. I was amazed, I thought to myself ‘that’s Ali G’.
“He clearly updated Ali G’s wardrobe. He’s replaced his tracksuit and skull cap, but he still had gold jewellery and tinted shades.”
As well as Da Ali G Show, which ran for three series until 2004, he also had a film, Ali G Indahouse, in 2002.
