Yep, you read that right. Ferrell, arguably one of the world’s leading actors, and surely a figure who could command an exorbitant fee if he was ever to make a cameo appearance at someone’s party, was spotted wearing a backwards cap and a USC Trojans jacket.

According to TMZ, the actor was DJing at a pre-game party before USC faced the Arizona Wildcats in their NCAA football game on Sunday, a match that USC managed to win 43-41.

In a clip uploaded to the internet, Ferrell can be seen playing 2011 monster-hit N****s in Paris on the decks. That in itself is noteworthy, as the actor was sampled by Jay-Z and Kayne West for the song.

The star’s “No one knows what it means but it’s provocative…gets the people going” line made it into the final version, and has become synonymous with the tune in the years since.

Anyway, back to Ferrell showing up to DJ a college party, with the question remaining as to what he was actually doing there in the first place.

Well, online sources have speculated that it likely has something to do with the fact that his eldest son, Magnus, currently attends USC.

Fans may remember that Will also gave a commencement speech at the college back in 2017. Upon receiving an honorary doctorate, Ferrell said:

“Many a night where, in my L.A. apartment, I would sit down to a meal of spaghetti topped with mustard with only $20 in my checking account.

“I was afraid. You’re never not afraid. I’m still afraid.

“But my fear of failure never approached the magnitude of a fear of ‘What if? What if I never tried at all?’”
