Over the holidays, Will Ferrell appeared at an L.A. Kings hockey game, dressed as Buddy the Elf.
But THIS Buddy was unshaven and very unhappy-looking. And he was drinking a beer with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
So why did he do it? JUST BECAUSE, as it turns out.
On the Kelce Brothers' "New Heights" podcast, Will said, quote, "The reaction was insane! Like, what is he doing? Is he promoting something? But occasionally I just like to do weird things like that just to stir it up."
FYI, it was a CANDY cigarette.
(Careful: Here's video of Will's explanation. It includes a bleeped S-word.)
