Will Ferrell’s blooper outtake from “Eastbound & Down” is up there with hardest acting challenges ever.
Danny McBride and Craig Robinson use every bit of willpower to not laugh as Ferrell tries to break them.
Robinson told Vulture about the experience:
➡️ “I remember standing there, trying to keep it together. I’m busting a brain vessel trying to stare in the face and eyes of Danny McBride, while Will Ferrell is deliberately trying to murder us, trying to ruin the take.
You know, talking about [doing Ferrell’s voice], ‘My plums have a bluish hue. Sun dancing off them just right. And my son Gabriel!’…
You got to understand this was all new, fresh stuff — like, what the frick?! And he’s laughing and checking in on us. Oh man, it was a beautiful day of laughter.
But I felt horrible. I was trying, man. I was trying so hard. Tears came down my eyes.” ⬅️

There have been greater players than Willis Reed.
There has never been a greater leader.
Rest in peace, Captain.
Fans of the #Knicks will love you until the end of time.
The 🏀 is amazing! Just had an impromptu FaceTime with @bencollege3 and @CJMcCollum after they got in some work together with @CoachCho! Two of the best scorers I’ve ever coached, but better people. So grateful for my @plnubasketball@LehighMBB@WhitworthMBB 🏀family
