Actor Will Ferrell sparked amusement on Sunday by attending a Los Angeles Kings hockey game dressed as his iconic character, Buddy the Elf, from the 2003 film "Elf." The appearance provided a surprising contrast to the cheerful character, as Ferrell was seen with a cigarette and a drink, adding an edge to the usually wholesome persona.
The Los Angeles Kings acknowledged Ferrell’s presence, sharing a video of the actor in costume on social media. The team’s post, which declared "BUDDY THE ELF IS OFFICIALLY IN #HOCKEYWOOD," quickly gained traction, showcasing the lighthearted moment.
This isn't the first time Ferrell has revisited his popular roles. He has previously made appearances as Ron Burgundy from "Anchorman" on various late-night shows and even "TODAY." His unexpected appearance as a somewhat weary Buddy the Elf at the game delighted fans and provided a memorable moment.
Furthermore, Ferrell's presence may have brought good fortune to the Kings. The team overcame a 4-2 deficit to secure a 5-4 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers, extending their home winning streak to seven games.
