During halftime of the New Orleans Pelicans basketball game last night, Will Ferrell chucked a basketball at a cheerleader's head, knocking her on her a**. The other cheerleaders rushed to her side as security grabbed Ferrell and escorted him away from the court.
But don't worry. They were shooting a scene for an upcoming comedy called Daddy's Home, which stars Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Linda Cardellini and Hannibal Buress. It is being directed by Sean Anders (Horrible Bosses 2, That's My Boy).
From Nola:
"Daddy's Home stars Ferrell as a mild-mannered radio executive who is determined to become the best stepdad possible to the children of his new wife (Cardellini). Wahlberg plays the children's 'freewheeling and freeloading' biological father, whose sudden re-emergence forces Ferrell's character to compete for the affection of the children."
Uproxx Editor-in-Chief @thecajunboy was in attendance and snapped some pictures of the shoot.
