A leading Hollywood actor looked very different from his usual looks on Friday night when he attended Wimbledon.
Star player 56, who has starred in a number of major blockbusters, was unrecognisable as he watched Lorenzo Musetti battle Novak Djokovic on Centre Court.
The writer and comedian, who also produced the hugely popular drama series Succession, for which he won four Emmys and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, watched intently as the two men battled to reach the final.
With his shaggy gray hair, unkempt, full beard, loose shirt, baggy pants and sneakers, the movie star looked a far cry from his usual close-cropped haircut and clean-shaven appearance.
But do you already know who it is?
A leading Hollywood actor looked worlds away from his usual groomed image when he attended Wimbledon on Friday night
The 56-year-old star, who has appeared in a number of major box office hits including Step Brothers and Blades of Glory, was completely unrecognisable as he sat in Centre Court
It’s Will Ferrell, of course.
The revelation comes after Will candidly spoke about the film adaptation of one of his biggest hits: Elf.
The actor played Buddy the Elf in the Christmas comedy, an elf from the North Pole who discovers his real father is a New York publishing executive (James Caan).
The film was a huge success, grossing $228.9 million worldwide despite its budget of only $33 million.
The comedian appeared in the series by his Anchorman colleague Christina Applegate Messy podcastin which he admitted that James Caan didn’t find him funny.
He said, ‘In between setups, [Caan] would be like, “I don’t get you. You’re not funny.” And I say, “I know. I’m not Robin Williams.”
‘And he was like, “People ask me, Is he funny? And I was like, No, he’s not funny.”‘
He added that it wasn’t until the premiere, when James saw the finished film, that he said what he really thought.

More than 20 years after the film hit theaters, Will Ferrell has opened up about filming Elf, admitting that James Caan (pictured center), who played his father in the film, didn’t find him funny.
Will admitted in a podcast: ‘In between set-ups, [Caan] would be something like: “I don’t get you. You’re not funny”
The actor later added that after seeing the completed film at the premiere, Caan admitted that Will’s performance was “brilliant”
Elf was Will’s first major film after leaving Saturday Night Live, where he starred from 1995 to 2002, following a supporting role in Old School.
‘And then we walked out of the theater together at the premiere, and we walked out together, and I take that as the greatest compliment, because it comes from James Caan.
“He was like, ‘I have to tell you, I thought everything you did during filming was way over the top. Now that I see it in the film, it’s brilliant,’” Will said.
“But I love that he’s not acting all the time. He’s really annoyed with me. He’s like, ‘Can that guy shut his f**k up? Jesus,'” Will joked.
“I literally drove him crazy in that movie, just pretending to be that kid. But that was the funniest part, he walked out of the theater, shook his head and said, ‘It’s brilliant,'” Will admitted.
The film was Will’s first major motion picture after leaving Saturday Night Live, where he starred from 1995 to 2002, following a supporting role in Old School.
