As A-listers and comedians gathered in the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, to mock the former Super Bowl champion, 46, in “The Roast of Tom Brady,” Ferrell appeared in costume as Ron Burgundy, the fictional blowhard anchor from the 2004 film “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” and 2013’s “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.”
Will Ferrell’s character Ron Burgundy makes a surprise appearance at Netflix’s roast of NFL star Tom Brady. Netflix Tom Brady was in high spirits at his roast. Netflix
He was introduced as “a living legend, a world-class lover and the No. 1 news anchor in all of San Diego.”
As he took to the stage in character as Burgundy, Ferrell said, “My name is Ron Burgundy. I am a very big deal, but tonight is not about me. We are here to honor a champion of the gridiron, a great American, a father and a sexy man, a true Patriot — until he was not, of course.”
He then went on a tangent about Brady’s appearance.
“Holy s – – t, this man is gorgeous,” Ferrell said. “Look at those cheekbones. That’s a million-watt smile right there… A person could get lost in those eyes, and right now, I am that person.”
Pretending to talk to himself, he added, “Ron, pull it together. You’re a straight man. He’s making you question your sexuality. Stop looking at him. You’re here to make fun of him. Not fall in love. Concentrate!”
