Hollywood funnyman shows admiration for Chelsea ‘tough guy’

Prior to Chelsea’s friendly match with Inter Milan in California earlier this week, Will Ferrell was given the opportunity to aimlessly wonder around on the pitch and mingle with players. He did exactly that, showing his loyal support of the Blues by wearing the same old Chelsea shirt that he inexplicably donned while promoting Step Brothers on The Daily Show last year.

Despite being pictured with Mr Chelsea, Ferrell let the Chelsea OS know his favourite player doesn’t park his Bentley in disabled bays:

‘I love Frank Lampard, he’s one of the toughest guys of all time.’

We can understand the Lampsie love, but we’re not so sure about the ‘toughest guy of all time’ claim - have you not seen this picture, Mr Ferrell?

The Talladega Nights star also revealed his passion for the beautiful game:

‘I went to a match against Barcelona two or three years ago and the atmosphere was just fantastic, there is nothing like that here, so it was really fun to watch.

[…]

‘I can’t say that I only follow Chelsea, I try to keep an eye on all the team in the Premiership and I love soccer in general.

‘I’m a big sports fan as a whole, and was a sports journalist, a very, very good sports journalist.’

Wait, you were a sports journalist? We thought Champ Kind covered sports?

Spoiler bonus: Some classic Ferrell after the jump…

Funnyman stays classy in his favourite football strip

While promoting his new film Step Brothers on The Daily Show yesterday (expect to see it on More4 in about three-and-a-half weeks time), Will Ferrell hid his paunch behind the colours of his favourite Premier League team. To prove he isn’t a Johnny-come-lately fan, he wore a Chelsea shirt that has probably been sitting in the bottom of his wardrobe for at least four years.[Unprofessional Foul]
