Will Ferrell Revives Buddy the Elf at NHL Game with a Hilarious Twist

The actor attended an LA Kings game dressed as Buddy the Elf, complete with a grizzled look and faux cigarette, delighting fans with his comedic take on the beloved character.

Will Ferrell appeared at the Los Angeles Kings vs. Philadelphia Flyers game at Crypto.com Arena dressed as Buddy the Elf from the 2003 Christmas classic 'Elf.'
Ferrell's version of Buddy featured a disheveled appearance, including a five o’clock shadow, an unlit cigarette, and a drink in hand, contrasting with the character's usual cheerful demeanor.
When asked by a broadcaster, Ferrell humorously explained that Buddy had experienced a 'tough holiday season' and was rooting for a Kings victory, which the team ultimately secured with a 5-4 win.
Fans and commentators praised Ferrell's playful tribute, noting his history of embracing iconic roles in public settings, such as his 'Anchorman' character Ron Burgundy.
Despite the enduring popularity of 'Elf,' Ferrell has previously turned down a $29 million offer for a sequel, citing dissatisfaction with the proposed script.
