Sacha Baron Cohen revived Ali G at the Los Angeles premiere of *Who Iz I*, sporting the character’s familiar yellow tracksuit
He was joined on the red carpet by Morgana Robinson, who plays Ali’s girlfriend Julie in the new mockumentary
The film, arriving in cinemas on 23 October, follows Ali after years away from the spotlight
Its release has sparked a petition urging cinemas not to screen it, with campaigners claiming the character perpetuates racist stereotypes
Cinema representatives have rejected calls for censorship, saying venues should decide based on audience interest.
