Vine: Will Ferrell assaults cheerleader at basketball game (it’s just for a movie though)

"Ted, Ted! Clint Eastwood's been arrested for a crime he didn't co... Oh no, wait. It's a movie!"

We had a similar reaction when we saw this for the first time. Will Ferrell is currently filming for a new movie with Mark Wahlberg called "Daddy's Home", part of which took place at last night's New Orleans Pelicans LA Lakers game. Ferrell, or I suppose his character if we're being technical, was called upon to make a half court shot during the break, but he instead planted the basketball square in the face of a cheerleader who we're presuming was in on the act, catching he right in the snoz, and leaving her decked out on the ground. Ferrell was then "thrown out" by security, and if you're in any way interested, the Pelicans won the game 98-80. Hat Tip Bleacher Report
