Maria Bakalova, the breakout star of Sacha Baron Cohen s Borat 2 , has revealed shes still in touch with Jeanise Jones, the kindly grandmother who babysat her character in the movie.

Jones made headlines after the films release for her poignant advice to Bakalovas character, Borats daughter Tutar. Jones revealed shortly afterward that she thought she was in a documentary and had no idea she was being filmed for Borat.

Jeanise is a true angel. I will probably always think of her as my godmother, a real hero and life coach, Bakalova told the Los Angeles Times in an interview.

She just wanted to help this girl become a strong woman. We had a real human connection from the very first day we met.

The 24-year-old Bulgarian actor said that she rang Jones on Thanksgiving.

I was so happy to talk to her that I started to cry. When we were shooting, it was very hard for me, because I wanted to tell her not to worry about me, she said. She is a really good example of how important it is to be a good person and care about others.
