Sacha Baron Cohen brings Ali G character back to life at Wimbledon

Sacha Baron Cohen made a surprise appearance at the Wimbledon Championships final as his satirical character Ali G, dressed in a white tracksuit with 'Official Ganja Dealer' branding and a gold chain featuring a tennis ball. The performance included Ali G joking about tennis being a 'crap version of ping pong' and making comments about selling grass, referencing stereotypes associated with the 'chav' persona. In a video shared on the official Ali G Instagram account, Ali G also engaged in a fictional argument with a police officer regarding alleged drug offers to children and claimed Prince Harry owed him money for dealing at Eton. The event followed reports that Baron Cohen had completed filming a new Ali G movie, though details remain undisclosed.
