WIMBLEDON has always been a celebrity hotspot and this year has been no different.
From Keira Knightley to Jack Whitehall, tennis fans have been brushing shoulders with famous faces this summer.
One Hollywood A-lister was spotted in the crowd, although he looked very different from his roles in Elf and Anchorman.
Will Ferrell, 56, shielded his eyes from the sunshine with large aviator shades.
His thick curly hair was almost completely grey, similar to his beard.
Prioritising comfort, Will wore a brown shirt under an Adidas zip-up in similar colours.
The actor had a stern expression as he concentrated on the match between Lorenzo Musetti and Novak Djokovic at Centre Court.
This comes after he made a special appearance on Anchorman co-star Christina Applegate’s podcast MeSsy she shares with Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
Will, 56, sat down with Christina, 52, to discuss a wide range of topics including the 20th anniversary of their 2004 comedy.
During their sit down, the Dead To Me actress talked to Will about his childhood and being a part of groups and said that “being funny was an easy way to make friends.”
Will then told the podcast hosts what his legal name is.
The Daddy’s Home star said, “This is a minor thing in terms of — it’s not really even trauma — but I remember feeling so embarrassed because my real name is John, John William Ferrell.
“So first day of school, I’d be John. The teacher would be like ‘John Ferrell?’ and it was so embarrassing to me to have to say ‘Here, but I go by Will, I don’t go by John.’ “
During his first week of school, Will revealed the “excruciating” feeling about having to wait until his teachers remembered that he went by Will and not John.
“It wasn’t my choice,” he said.
Will began to explain that his parents called him Will.
“I grew up as Will, but on a rule sheet, my legal name is John Ferrell.”
He added that kids would ask him why he had to correct the teachers every time they could call him by his preferred name.
“I don’t know why that was so embarrassing to me to have to explain ‘I’m actually Will.’
“People are probably going to be listening to this going ‘That is the lamest thing ever,'” he joked.
Christina added, “We just lost anyone named John.”
