Meanwhile, earlier this week Will Ferrell paid a heart-felt tribute to his former Elf co-star James Caan who passed away on Wednesday aged 82. He paid tribute to his co-star in a statement to Hollywood Reporter, saying: “I will always treasure my time spent on and off camera with James Caan. He always had great stories and advice.
