Oh, it’s not a costume. He’s an elf. Well, technically, he’s a human, but he was raised by elves.
Over two decades after the release of the comedy Elf, Will Ferrell spread Christmas cheer by reprising his role as Buddy the Elf, donning his signature green suit and cone-shaped hat for a hockey game in Los Angeles Dec. 29.
For the festive outing, Ferrell joined wife Viveca Paulin and their youngest son Axel Ferrell, 14—they also share Magnus Ferrell, 20, and Mattias Ferrell, 18—to watch the action from the stands at the Crypto.com Arena.
And fans were definitely sharing his affinity for elf culture.
“Guess he’s still spreading Christmas cheer by singing loud for all to hear, even at a hockey game!” one social media user wrote on X, while another quipped, “this is what elves do after christmas.”
While Ferrell’s decision to wear Buddy’s costume sparked rumors that a sequel could be on the way, the Anchorman actor has been hesitant to return to the North Pole for another movie.
