Will Ferrell shared his quirky reason for dressing as Buddy the Elf at a recent NHL game, bringing laughs and surprises to fans.
On the “New Heights” podcast, he joked that Buddy got laid off from the North Pole and was just trying to enjoy life. He thought it would be hilarious to wear the costume and see how people reacted.
Ferrell and his wife, Viveca, are season ticket holders for the L.A. Kings. He decided to go all out and not shave for a week, just to pull off the look. And boy, did it get people talking!
He even broke character to smoke and drink, which made him go viral. The reactions were wild, with fans wondering what he was up to.
A journalist at the game caught up with him and noted he looked a bit grumpy, saying it was a tough holiday season for him. But he left the game happy after the Kings won 5-4.
Fans still hope for a sequel to “Elf,” but Ferrell turned down a huge offer for it, saying he couldn’t promote something he didn’t believe in. It’s clear he’s all about keeping it real!
