\n\tAli G<\/a> was among the surprise special guests at the Wimbledon<\/a> men\u2019s final on Sunday \u2014 and got straight to work trying to sell drugs from his seat on centre court.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Sacha Baron Cohen<\/a>\u2018s comedy creation may have been kitted out in classic whites for the occasion, his Wimbledon-themed jacket did feature a large marijuana symbol on the back with the motif \u201cOfficial Ganja Dealer,\u201d which he paired with heavy gold chain and glasses. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI iz BACK. And 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,\u201d he wrote on a new Ali G account on Instagram. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIs is here at the men\u2019s singles in Wimbledon, which actually, despite its name, ain\u2019t a party for gay lords. It\u2019s like the World Cup of something called tennis, which is like a crap version of ping pong,\u201d he said on an Insta video. \u201cThem say that tennis is better played on grass, which is why I intend to sell as much of it while I is here. So if you want some herbal remedies, me\u2019s got anything you want. Booyakasha. I is in row H seat 329 There ain\u2019t any brothers here, so it\u2019ll be easy to find me you, innit.

\n\tOther videos showed him pulling out what looked like bags of weed and a joint for the camera, while he was later recorded by other guests being spoken to by police after they told him they\u2019d had complaints of him offering drugs to children.<\/p>\n

\n\tAli\u2019s unexpected\u2019s Wimbledon appearance comes amid news of a new Ali G movie<\/a> and the first since 2022\u2019s \u201cAli G Indahouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVariety confirmed last week that Baron Cohen had wrapped production on a new film starring his sketch comedy breakout from the late 1990s. The production shot in secret in the U.K, much like Cohen operated on 2006\u2019s \u201cBorat\u201d and\u00a02020\u2019s \u201cBorat Subsequent Moviefilm,\u201d\u00a0while there are reports that some of the movie will be set in the U.S., where Ali G has previously visited with \u201cDa Ali G Show\u201d to interview guests including Noam Chomsky, Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ali G was among the surprise special guests at the Wimbledon men\u2019s final on Sunday \u2014 and got…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":799247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[278082,49,48,75,16452,614],"class_list":["post-799246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ali-g","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-sacha-baron-cohen","tag-wimbledon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=799246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/799247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=799246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=799246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=799246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
