Will Ferrell reveals the practice he thinks should be BANNED from weddings forever

Will Ferrell reveals the practice he thinks should be BANNED from weddings forever

Will Ferrell revealed the practice that he feels should never be a part of wedding receptions. 

The Elf star, 57 – who has been busy promoting his latest film You’re Cordially Invited with castmate Reese Witherspoon – opened up about the topic during a recent interview this week. 

At one point, the star was asked what he thought should be banned when it came to weddings and he simply replied with: ‘Cash bar.’ 

With a cash bar, wedding guests are required to pay for their own drinks due to the hosts of the ceremony not covering the cost – which has been a controversial topic. 

The Hollywood actor – who has a net worth of $160 million – then added of cash bars in a chat with BuzzFeed UK: ‘That’s rude.’

Witherspoon, who also joined in on the interview, agreed with Will and stated, ‘That’s in really poor taste.’

Ferrell also added that the hosts should make sure that there is plenty of food for guests. 

He recalled attending a friend’s wedding when there wasn’t enough – which he labeled as ‘not good’ and added ‘That’s a real no-no.’

Will – who took part in his own nuptials back in 2000 with wife Viveca Paulin – later expressed that he disliked macarena lines at wedding ceremonies. 

And while recently talking to This Morning, the Step Brothers star recalled the prank he took part in while at a pal’s wedding in the past. 

‘I have a friend who asked if I would stand up and object, so I did,’ Ferrell explained. 

‘I stood up, in that moment where they’re like, “Does anyone object?” I said “I do! I love you Carol! Please, take me back!”‘ 

However, he soon realized that he had used the wrong name and said, ‘My friend, the groom, said, “This isn’t Carol, it’s Susan.”‘ 

‘And I went, “Oh, sorry,” and I sat back down. No one really laughed, except he laughed. So the joke didn’t quite land,’ Will admitted.

The premise is: ‘When two weddings are double-booked at the same venue, the father of one bride and the sister of the other bride try to preserve the wedding weekend,’ per an IMDB synopsis.   

Ferrell was also one of the producers on the movie, along with Reese under her media company Hello Sunshine. 

During a joint conversation with Glamour UK, Will discussed what ‘surprised’ him while working with the Legally Blonde actress. 

‘I would say that with Hello Sunshine and how much Reese does as a producer…,’ he answered. 

‘A lot of the episodic stuff she’s done recently that it was so fun to get in the comedy battleground with her, and to see that she is as funny an actress as anyone I’ve ever worked with.’ 

Will added, ‘I loved it because we both were in these scenes, and while we’re saying ridiculous things and screaming at each other.’

‘It’s a heightened context, and yet she’s playing it as real as I am, and that’s what I think is at the heart of any good comedy.’ 

Ferrell has starred in a number of comedic films during the course of his career thus far, such as Elf, Anchorman, Blades Of Glory and Talladega Nights. 

Along with Legally Blonde, Reese also took on a leading role in the romantic comedy Sweet Home Alabama. 

She is also known for playing dramatic roles, such as her portrayal of June Carter in Walk The Line – which earned her an Oscar for Best Actress.

‘Just in terms of the generosity on set, of really listening to my perspective, the other female producers perspective, also lifting up other people’s ideas. He’s just a generous soul and a generous human.’ 

Earlier this month, fans were left raving over You’re Cordially Invited shortly after the trailer was released. 

And this week on Tuesday, the pair walked the red carpet at the premiere of the movie in NYC.
