Sacha Baron Cohen says King Julien's accent was based on his Sri Lankan lawyer - Jimmy Kimmel Live 

This was actually the first time i actually heard Cohen's real voice.

how come I never knew he was King Julien

So basically as King Julien, he carried the entire franchise

Definitely sounds more indian but duuuude for king julian I'll take it xD

As a Sri Lankan, I am proud that King Julian is based of a Sri Lankan. He really captures our spirit.King Julian has become an immortal character too. I love the movies and also the netflix series. Great stuff.

The only single video on the internet about Sacha doing the voice of King Julien

King Julien is my favorite

King Julian is Sacha Baron Cohen's ultimate performance

Baaahhhahahaha no wonder we Lankans love King Julien!! He's one of US!!! :D

Ah, some Tamil people in Sri Lanka have that accent! And that's NOT an insult. One of my favourite teachers (Tamil person) had a similar accent. Dear fellow Sri Lankans, stop looking for insults and then getting butthurt, pfft!

King Julian: "I would invade a neighboring country, impose my ideology to them even if they don't like it" got me laughing so HARD 😂

Mort has gotten us into a fuckimg car wreck and I am paralyzed form the neck down, and I cannot love it move it

Damn... he should be an Indian..... Sri Lankan sounds different.....!!!!

I love how he manages to casually slip into his king Julian voice

this man is a worldwide treasure. Mr. Cohen makes me laugh harder than anyone else I've ever seen on TV

0:35 King Julian in da house!

I really didnt saw him on the madagascar behind the scene interview. This is the first time i saw him talking about madagascar

I low key used to think he was French because his accent in “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” was so convincing!

No wonder iv related to King Julian so much all this time!

So weird to hear him in the normal English accent, knowing how many voices he does.

He's such a good actor for this kind of roles ❤

Why I would give to be in the recording studio watching this lot sing "I like to move it move it" 😅😅😅

The Madagascar series has a great ensemble cast. King Julien along with the Penguins are my favorites.

Thanks for posting that... I love that character! ;) Cohen is so damn talented.

Great. I've been looking for a video of him doing the voice on camera.

I can do Indian just to hear that we inspired King Julian :'D

As a Sri Lankan this made me laugh 😂🤣....so king Julian is actually Sri Lankan 🤣

All Hail King Julien!!! Love from Sri Lanka

The only time he talks about King Julien!

King julen 😍😘 my king I luv u... From nigeria

Mauricio I can't move it move it anymore

King julian from srilanka 🥳🥳🥳

So Aladeen gave voice to King Julien. And people say nothing is perfect.

Really wish we could get more All Hail King Julien.

He selected Sri Lankan or South Indian accent maybe because Madagascar was once a part of Indian subcontinent near Srilanka and Tamil Nadu state of India.. He is a real performer....I love every character played by him ..King Julian being the best

Still searching for behind the scene where I see him sing "move it", which funnily enough he added himself by random

That's his King 👑 Julien voice

This guy doesn't even know the difference between India and Sri Lanka.

My name is Julien. I've felt that.

The amount of people here who take this as in insult is just too damn high xD I find nothing offensive in this. Want to know what real "offensive" means, go watch "Da Ali G Show" :)

He said the thing.

Why did I always think that the guy who did king Julian always spoke that way😭🤣❤️

I didn’t know that Cohen voiced King Julian. That’s fantastic!

Bobby off the brothers Grimsby

That moment when you find out he voiced Julien

What ? This guy is behind king Julian 😨wow .

Sounded like a mix of Indian and jamaican

Voice actor - England Animal - Madagascar Accent - Sri Lanka

At lest we know what happened to King Julian after Madagascar 3 he went back to Africa and became dictator of wadya

That's more a loose approximation of our lovely neighbor India's stereotypical accent, but we'll take it. Long live the King, and that cute orange bouncy fellow. Many many head wobbling greeTings from Sri Lanka.

I want to see and hear his lawyer

That explains a lot.

WHOS MAKING THAT NOISE???? oh ...it’s me again 😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀🙌🏾 All hail king julien 💝

Watching madagascar at this moment with my daughter! Even she doesnt doesn't onderstand english, she likes sacha's voice better!

I ADORE King Julian x

King julien is my favorite

Im watching this while im watching madagascar

Recommended after 5 years, yo creater are u there?😅

We proud of as sri lankans.

King Julien talks like an Indian from India. I Like to Move It is Madagascar’s version of Gangnam Style.

I call him King Julian, no matter what role he plays.

lol he was the voice actor of all of them except specials and others

I always thought Borat was Scott Adkins

Imagine if Marty Muckracker were interviewing King Julien.

He sounds like the dictator of Wadiya

simple.... king Julian moved to Madagascar from Indian subcontinent.... ask any Southern African

If he is a king, then where is his crown? I've got a crown. Got a very nice one!

Sri Lanka. The anecdote of the world.

Why am I just finding this out 👀

wait his normal voice kinda sounds like simon cowell

hahaha... poor fella... :3 world champion of public speaking in 2014 also was a sri lankan guy. neither an american nor british couldn't grab the crown. ;)

He's getting on Aussie twang

It's 20th of April, 2024. I've watched Madagascar numerous times, first as a kid, then as a parent, because my kids love all parts and wants to watch it non-stop. Until this day, I could have sworn King Julien was Robin Williams. My mind was blown when I visited IMDb's page of this franchise. What the actual fk?!? I'd be ready to give my life to that claim. He sounds exactly like Robin Williams.

King Julian is awsome just move it ^0^

Rip fly high

No we don't talk like that!! And we DEFINITELY aren't cheap💀. You are talking bout Indians love😌

King Julien has an Indian accent not Jamaican 💀💀

He’s accent like he is still wadiyan dictator

Sacha Baron Cohen is one of the most underrated actors in comedy, he gave us a very popular character in Madagascar, but for me his best role is in the movie The Dictator, the character being Aladden, also Borat, I can't forget that role If they make a hypothetical fourth installment of Madagascar, who returns as King Julien, he is irreplaceable in that role Sacha Baron Cohen es uno de los actores más subestimados de la comedia, nos dio un personaje muy popular en Madagascar, pero para mí su mejor papel es en la película El Dictador, siendo el personaje Aladden, también Borat, no puedo olvidar ese papel. Si hacen una hipotética cuarta entrega de Madagascar, que regrese como el Rey Julien, es insustituible en ese papel

So i was thinking if king julian speaks Indian accent

I like to move it move it!

Rip😔

I'm sorry but it does sound Indian. Totally like the king Julian part though ;)

All I can say is he's either talking about a Tamil Sri Lankan, or is confusing Sri Lankans with Indians living in SL 😂

Bruh this is the first time i heard sacha barons real voice i mean hes borat supreme leader prince admiral general aldeen two of the characters of very very racist shit that is very very funny

I wonder if he will ever voice King Julien again in the future?

He did not say the lawyer was from Sri Lanka listen before you comment your offense, he said this lawyer who could be Indian he doesn’t say, moved there not was from there. Jeeze people

He is talking about a Indian lawyer who moved to Sri Lanka . We Sri Lankans dont speak like that but we love King Julian !

I'm Sri Lankan and this is so funny 😂

*Hmmm, I wonder if this was before or after Mort got him into a fucking car wreck and now he's paralyzed from the waist down...*

Proud to be sri lanka 🤣❤

That is not definitely "Sri Lankan".

SrI lAnKanS kNow AmeRicAn lAw ._. I mean not gonna brag but a lot of us are more educated than 70% of the US population

What he says here sounds Indian.... but King Julians accent in the movie isnt.... He is sooo talented... i love this guy !!!! And juggernaut you hv a nice attitude... very sweet !

He sounds like Simon cowell

King Julin is funny, Bora definatly funny and talented.. Well the lawyer may be tamil so got that rrrrrr accent.. How ever jim got shocked SL guys know much about US Constitution than them and than there own ..😁😂😁😂

sri Lanka is right under India guys, his layer might be from Sri Lanka but could have picked up his accent from india, all the actor is doing is mimicking the accent in which his Sri Lankan lawyer talks in (not his fault if he sounds Indian)

He lives in Australia I think

General Aladeen

I thought it was either south American or indian accent
