Will Ferrell rises to the occasion, drinks from MLS Cup after LAFC victory

Cometh the hour, cometh the man

Will Ferrell has played some characters that know how to party, and it turns out he can match them in real life.

Ferrell, an LAFC owner, drank from MLS Cup after his side came through a nutty, dramatic 3-3 draw with the Philadelphia Union to lift the trophy after a penalty kick shootout.

Ferrell stood on the pitch at Banc of California Stadium and channeled the spirit of Frank “The Tank,” his beer-loving character from the 2003 movie “Old School.” With help from the club’s star striker Cristian “Chicho” Arango, Ferrell tipped back the MLS Cup trophy to take a big swig of whatever sponsor-provided beverage was inside.

That’s expert-level partying, with Ferrell leading by example for an LAFC side that had never lifted MLS Cup before Saturday’s success.
