Will Ferrell Finally Explains Bringing Buddy the Elf Back as a Smoker and Beer Drinker, Calls the Reaction ‘Insane’: ‘I Just Like to Do Weird Things’

Will Ferrell says sometimes he just likes to do weird things, which includes reviving Buddy the Elf as a smoker and beer drinker.

Will Ferrell appeared on Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast and finally explained his decision to revive Buddy the Elf as a disheveled beer drinker and smoker. FanDuel Sports Network broadcaster Carrlyn Bathe reported live from the game and spoke to Buddy, who told her at the time that “it was a tough holiday season” and “he’s looking for a Kings win.” “Elf,” which earned over $220 million at the worldwide box office at the time of its release and remains a Christmas classic, stars Ferrell as a human raised by Santa’s elves.
