In an interview with the popular TV programme, Jimmy Kimmel Live, voice funnyman and British actor Sacha Baron Cohen has said King Julien's accent was based on his Sri Lankan lawyer.
 
Lemur King Julien is a character of the animated movie MADAGASCAR.

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.
