Will Ferrell was escorted out of a Pelicans-Lakers game on Wednesday night after throwing a basketball in a cheerleader’s face – but don’t worry, it’s for his film Daddy’s Home, co-starring Mark Wahlberg.
The scene was shot at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans during halftime, with many game attendees uploading photos and videos of it to social media.
By the time the film comes out there won’t be too much mystery surrounding the scene, but at least some fans got to witness it first-hand.
Huffington Post notes the film is about Ferrell’s ex-wife remarrying someone who’s uptight, so he does anything he can to cause chaos in their lives. Presumably Wahlberg plays the new husband.
Linda Cardellini and Hannibal Buress are also in the film.
After Ferrell makes an incoherent speech, he pegs one of the cheerleaders (a stuntwoman) in the face with the basketball when trying to make a shot at half-court. He then gets escorted out of the game by security guards.
