Actor Sacha Baron Cohen reportedly donated $100,000 to the church of the unemployed Christian grandmother who unwittingly starred in his recent “Borat” sequel.

Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church in Oklahoma City received the sizable donation earlier this week, the church’s Rev. Derrick Scobey said, according to The Oklahoman. Jeanise Jones, 62, was chosen by the producers of “Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm” to play a babysitter after they came to the church seeking “elderly black women” who had “grandmotherly” qualities.
