Will Ferrell Shows Solidarity With Ireland (Sort Of) By Wearing An Irish Jersey On Budget Day

We love Will Ferrell and we love the fact that he’s embraced his Irish roots so much. The actor was spotted sporting a green jersey yesterday while he was out getting his culture on and visiting a swanky art gallery in Miami.

Check him out – doesn’t the green suit him? We think so.

Anyway, this isn’t the first time that Will has been snapped wearing an Irish jersey. The Irish Independent reports that the actor happily donned a full Irish rugby kit while he was visiting University College Dublin back in 2008. The legend.

“As you all know, I’m kind of a big deal, and this is a big deal,” Will said, speaking to the crowds of students that turned up to see him at UCD.

“As I perused my leather bound volumes of Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, Dubliners, and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, standing in my mahogany library, a lot of feelings ran across my head, like, man, I should have read these books!” he joked.

“James Joyce spent a lot of his life living outside of Ireland. I too have spent a lot of time living outside of Ireland,” Will added.

Will visited UCD in 2008 after he was awarded the James Joyce Award for contribution to the field of comedy entertainment by the UCD Literary and Historical Society (or the L&H).
