Sacha Baron Cohen is believed to have become the highest paid British actor in Hollywood after signing a new film deal that could see him earn more than £30 million.
Up until now, Daniel Radcliffe was thought to be the Brit who has earned the most over there taking home a rumoured £25 million for starring in two Harry Potter movies last year.
It is believed Sacha will get a lump sum for co-writing, co-producing and starring in new movie The Goat Herder and will then also get a share of the box office earnings.
The 38-year-old actor made a name for himself thanks to his alter egos rapper Ali-G, Kazakh TV presenter Borat and gay fashion journalist Bruno.
Sacha, who is notoriously publicity shy, married his girlfriend Isla Fisher in Paris earlier in the year and the couple are rumoured to be expecting their second child.
