The voice funnyman SACHA BARON COHEN used for his animated lemur King Julien in the MADAGASCAR movies was inspired by his Sri Lankan lawyer.

The funnyman came up with the impression to honour the legal mastermind who has often come to his defence when people and officials threaten to sue the comedian over outrageous skits in his films.
 

The British actor appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his upcoming movie The Brothers Grimsby made a little fun of his Sri Lankan lawyer, whom he says King Julien's accent was based on.
