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.
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.”
Cohen, 54, was also seen channeling the character from the stands in an Instagram upload on Sunday.
Cohen has not officially confirmed what’s next for Ali G, but the Wimbledon appearance gave fans another dose of the character more than two decades after Ali G Indahouse. With rumors of a new project continuing to circulate, his unexpected return is likely to keep speculation going.
