A few days ago, actor Will Ferell portrayed his love and camaraderie for John C. Reilly. The incident took place on the occasion of US Ireland Alliance's Oscar Wilde Awards which was organized at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles on February 27. At the event, four Irish-American and Irish natives, including Reily were honored.
In his speech, Ferell narrated how he met Rilley when he was working on Saturday Night Live. However, it was after some time that the two began working together. It was during the first table read of Anchorman that both of them actually started bonding. Narrating about the table read, Ferell laughed about Reilly's sense of humor as he said to the People Magazine
“We could not get over how funny he was, that someone who was so capable as an actor could also be as funny, He, of course, blew it as he took a part in this movie Gangs of New York.”
Ferell has been Reilly's co-star in several comedy movies and both the actors share a great friendship. In Hollywood, you cannot think of a better comedy duo than John C. Reilly and Will Ferell. In an article with the Independent, Reilly, who has also done some intense movies said that his friendship with Ferell was the reason 'why he was put on this earth'.
All great friendships go through tests and Ferell and Reilly's bond was no different. According to The Wrap Reports, the actors had a feud when Reilly got a role in Winning Time, something that Ferell wanted for a long time.
