(Cupventi.com) – Will Ferrell, a notable figure, played a central role during Family Weekend at the University of Southern California, making a surprise appearance at a fraternity event where he took on the role of a DJ.
Numerous social media videos quickly gained traction, showcasing the former “Saturday Night Live” star in action at a Sigma Alpha Mu party. He sported a black tracksuit, a backward baseball cap, shades, and headphones, immersing himself in the music.
A noteworthy detail is that Ferrell’s oldest son, Magnus, is a sophomore at USC and aspires to be a musician, creating a familial connection to the university. Ferrell himself is an alumnus of USC, having graduated in 1990. One video circulating on social media depicted Ferrell energizing the crowd, reminiscent of his character Frank the Tank from “Old School,” clapping above his head to the beat of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.”
In a separate video, Ferrell was seen enthusiastically moving and fist-bumping to the explicit hit “N—-s in Paris” by Kanye West and Jay-Z.
Ferrell, aged 56, is a proud parent of three sons with his wife, Viveca, whom he married in 2000. Magnus, one of his sons, is scheduled to release new music on Oct. 15, accompanied by a celebratory release party at the Vermont Hollywood. The event will feature a guest appearance by Deacon, the son of Reese Witherspoon, who is also a musician.
Although requests for comments from Ferrell’s representatives were not immediately responded to by Fox News Digital, the event highlighted that Ferrell wasn’t the only notable parent present on campus during the weekend.
Vanessa Bryant, the widow of the late Kobe Bryant, was also in attendance to support her daughter Natalia during the multi-day event. She shared numerous pictures on social media from the outing, expressing her support with the phrase “Fight On” in one of her Instagram posts.
In addition to supporting her daughter, Vanessa and Natalia had the opportunity to witness an exhilarating USC Trojans football game. The USC team secured a close victory against Arizona with a score of 43-41 in overtime.
