Will Ferrell’s Royal Mardi Gras drift Ride

His amazing acting ability has taken him to the top…literally! Will Ferrell was spotted riding high aboard a Mardi Gras drift in New Orleans on Sunday (February 19).

The “Step Brothers” star, who has been in New Orleans since November while working on a political comedy flick called “The Campaign,” took on the infamous role of King Bacchus, Roman God of Wine,

during the annual parade.

With Mardi Gras coming up tomorrow (February 21), Mr Ferrell looked to be having a marvelous date as he waved to his screaming fans who had filled the streets to catch a glimpse.

Fellow celebrities who have fulfilled King Bacchus duties in years past include Nicolas Cage, William Shatner, Elijah Wood, Bob Hope, Hulk Hogan and Drew Brees.
