Sacha Baron Cohen has defended bringing his comedic creation Ali G back for a new film after after 12 years, explaining that him being “outdated and problematic” is exactly why he’s needed today.
The comedian, who debuted Ali G on Channel 4’s The 11 O’Clock Show in 1998, is reprising the role in forthcoming film, Ali G: Who Iz I? , which arrives in cinemas later this week.
