Will Ferrell Takes Over DJ Duties at Son’s USC Party
Comedy Star’s Surprise DJ Gig at USC Fraternity Bash
Comedian Will Ferrell, famously known for his roles in movies like “Elf” and “Step Brothers,” brought the house down at his eldest son’s fraternity party held at the University of Southern California (USC) this past Saturday. Ferrell, 56, took everyone by surprise when he stepped behind the DJ decks and spun some tunes for the USC crowd.
Mixing It Up on TikTok
Videos shared on TikTok captured the hilarious moment when Ferrell played hit songs like Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “N**s In Paris” and Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” to the enthusiastic crowd of university students. The energy in the room was electric as they grooved to Ferrell’s unexpected DJ skills.
A Familiar Sample
One of the highlights of the night was when Ferrell played Jay-Z and Kanye West’s track, which features a clip of his own dialogue from the 2007 film “Blades of Glory.” In the movie, Ferrell’s character famously says, “No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative. It gets the people going.” The USC audience certainly agreed with that sentiment.
Ferrell’s DJ Look
Ferrell’s DJ set saw him in action, dancing behind the decks, wearing black headphones, a backward cap, sunglasses, and a black USC jacket. The Step Brothers star’s charismatic presence added to the festive atmosphere of the party.
Family Ties to USC
Ferrell’s son, Magnus, 19, is a second-year student at USC, just like his father, who also attended the university in the late ’80s. In 1990, Ferrell graduated from USC with a bachelor’s degree in sports information. His strong ties to the university are further evidenced by his past contributions.
A History of Giving
In 2017, Ferrell delivered the commencement speech to USC’s graduating class and played a pivotal role in establishing the university’s first-ever full scholarship for the women’s soccer team. His commitment to the USC community goes beyond comedy and extends to philanthropy.
Party Before the Big Game
The spirited celebration took place ahead of an American football game between USC and the University of Arizona Wildcats. It seems like Ferrell knows how to get the party started before a major sporting event.
The Ferrell Family
Will Ferrell and his wife, Viveca Paulin, have two other sons, 16-year-old Mattias and 13-year-old Axel, making their family adventures as entertaining as Ferrell’s on-screen roles.
