Sacha Baron Cohen appeared at Wimbledon on Sunday dressed as his Ali G character, nypost.com reported. He was seated in section 215 and wore a white track jacket with the text 'Official Wimbledon Ganja Dealer' on the back along with a thick gold rope chain. Cohen posted an Instagram video from the stands showing himself in the costume.
The caption read: 'I iz BACK! ' He also took selfies with fans while in character. Cohen, 54, had attended the tournament the previous day in a white linen suit with a green button-down shirt. A representative for the actor did not comment on reports that he is secretly filming a new Ali G movie.
