Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf at Kings Game

Will Ferrell attended a Kings hockey game dressed as Buddy the Elf, but this time, his character looked a bit disgruntled.

Ferrell was spotted at the Crypto Arena during a game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Los Angeles Kings, wearing a disheveled version of his iconic Elf costume.

“Buddy the Elf is a huge Kings fan. But we’ve never, ever seen him like this,”

said FanDuel Sports Network broadcaster Carrlyn Bathe. Ferrell's appearance as a rundown Buddy the Elf, complete with a 5 o’clock shadow and a cigarette, was a departure from the character's usual festive spirit.

According to Ferrell, "it was a tough holiday season", which may have contributed to his character's grumpy demeanor.
