Three-time Oscar nominee Sacha Baron Cohen was spotted at Wimbledon today, but he was accompanied by his alter ego, Ali G. You can see this duo in social media posts. It's said that Ali G is really here, and this news comes alongside reports of a new Ali G movie being secretly filmed.

Cohen, known for his street comedy style, has a knack for fooling even the highest-ranking individuals. He has pranked many famous figures, from Donald Trump to Rudy Giuliani, with hidden camera antics. The Ali G character appeared at the men's final at Wimbledon dressed as the "Official Ganja Dealer" in gym attire and a gold chain. However, no official statement has been made yet regarding whether these images belong to the real Ali G or an impersonator.

The new Ali G film will be the second film following the 2002 release of Ali G Indahouse. The first film grossed over $23 million overseas before its release in the U.S. The Ali G character was introduced to American audiences through Da Ali G Show, which aired on HBO in the early 2000s. Sacha Baron Cohen's latest film, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, was released by Amazon MGM Studios while theaters were closed during the Covid period and earned two Oscar nominations. Details about the new Ali G film are still unclear, but it is expected to attract significant attention, just like Cohen's previous projects.
