Hollywood actor Will Ferrell, sporting a disheveled Buddy the Elf costume complete with a cigarette dangling from his lips, made a memorable appearance at a recent Los Angeles Kings game. The Kings faced off against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Crypto.com Arena, ultimately securing a 5-4 win, much to the delight of the "Elf" star.

According to a rinkside interview with FanDuel Sports reporter Carrlyn Bathe, Ferrell confessed to having a "rough holiday season" and expressed his hopes for a Kings victory. His wish came true thanks to a stellar performance by Kings captain Anze Kopitar, who scored two crucial goals in the third period. Adrian Kempe also contributed significantly with a goal and an assist, propelling the Kings to a comeback win after trailing 4-2 earlier in the game. Additional goals from Kevin Fiala and Warren Foegele, combined with goalkeeper David Rittich's 17 saves, sealed the victory for Los Angeles.

This isn't Ferrell's first time showing his support for the Kings at Crypto.com Arena. He's a well-known fan and has previously been seen with his face painted in the team's colors during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The appearance coincided with the 21st anniversary of the release of Ferrell's iconic Christmas movie "Elf," which originally hit theaters in 2003 and grossed nearly $230 million at the box office.
