Will Ferrell Goes Seventies in 'Semi-Pro'

The comedy champ embraces '70s basketball in his new movie. WILL FERRELL is taking over the world of basketball in his new sports comedy, 'Semi-Pro,' in theaters February 29, and ET's KEVIN FRAZIER works hard to get a straight answer from the former "Saturday Night Live" funnyman! "I went through this period where I grew my hair out and people thought I looked like a crazy man," says Will about his wild '70s 'fro in the movie, adding, "I lobbied to have my shorts that short. A lot of our cast we found out later refused to go any shorter." It seems that Will may have been the one who most dug his period wardrobe: "You definitely get used to it," he reveals, "then you get so used to it you enjoy it." (link)
