Will Ferrell spotted in two Liverpool venues as he makes football plans

Will Ferrell was spotted in two Liverpool venues during the weekend.

The Hollywood comedy star visited Liverpool ONE restaurant and bar Mamasan on Saturday and was pictured with a member of staff. Will then took in a weekend of British football, joining fellow actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as their Wrexham team played Wealdstone FC on Saturday (February 11) afternoon.

He then attended Manchester City's victory over Aston Villa on Sunday (February 12), appearing on Sky Sports' coverage.

On Sunday, Andy Parker shared a picture of himself with Will at the Hope Street Hotel's 1931 Restaurant in Liverpool city centre. He said the actor had been in the city for a few days and was planning to attend the Merseyside Derby this evening.

Will has previously attended a game at Anfield, watching Liverpool lose to Swansea in 2017. Speaking about the match, he joked: "All very exciting. I think I will never be invited back to Anfield because it was the historic day Liverpool lost to Swansea at home for the first time."

In November, the Anchorman actor told BBC Radio 2 that he wanted to come to Liverpool this May to attend Eurovision with his mum. Will appealed for a spare room from Scousers so that he and his mum could stay, without having to battle for a hotel room.

Zoe said: "If anyone is willing to put up Will Ferrell and his mum in Liverpool or the Liverpool area during Eurovision." Will set out his rather modest requirements, adding: "We need a clean, tidy room. We’ll share a room - two bunk beds that’s all we need. I know we’re kidding but my mom would love that, she’d be thrilled."
