CNN —Looks like Buddy the Elf is trading in maple syrup for an ice cold beer. Will Ferrell attended the Kings-Flyers game at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena Sunday dressed up as his iconic character from the beloved 2003 holiday movie “Elf,” and Buddy was looking a little worse for the wear this time. Buddy’s “disgruntled” look is because he had a “tough holiday season,” according to FanDuel Sports Network reporter Carrlyn Bathe, who spoke to Buddy at the game. “Elf” was directed by Jon Favreau and starred Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, the late James Cann, Mary Steenbergen, Ed Asner, Peter Dinklage and Bob Newhart, among others. Here’s hoping the next time we see Buddy, he’s back to indulging in the sweeter things life brings.
