Steven Gerrard's former team-mates react as Liverpool legend has dinner with Hollywood star

Steven Gerrard's latest image shared from his summer holiday caught the eye of many on social media.

The Liverpool legend is currently in Los Angeles with his family after a long season of football, which saw the 42-year-old swap Rangers for Aston Villa midway through the campaign.

LA is a city Gerrard is no stranger to, having spent two seasons at MLS side LA Galaxy at the end of his career. The Villa manager appears to be making the most of his downtime abroad and has managed to meet up with Hollywood star Will Ferrell.

An Instagram post shared by the iconic midfielder shows Ferrell sat in his company drinking wine, along with a third man in the image. Captioning the photo, Gerrard said: "As ye do."

Reacting to this strange link-up, former team-mate of the Liverpool star David Thompson wrote: "Frank the tank" - a reference to a character played by Ferrell in the 2003 film 'Old School'. Ian Wright, meanwhile, commented: "That looks like fun."

Gerrard also received messages from BT Sport duo Darren Fletcher and Jermaine Jenas, who he worked alongside for the Reds' recent Champions League final defeat. Fletcher said: "Love it", with Jenas adding: "Quality."

Ferrell became a part-owner of MLS side Los Angeles FC in 2016, who currently top the table in the Western Conference and overall league standings.
