WATCH: Chad Smith Goes Will Ferrell on a Heckler During a Show
They're Brothers from other mothers
Chad smith and Will Ferrell share an uncanny resemblance. It started back in 2000. Smith told Spin magazine the story:
“There was a screening of the film at Paramount in Hollywood. At the time I was dating a girl who worked there. I went to the screening, and you were there and all the actors were there, and after the film there was a little reception thing and cocktails and little, you know, table with food and chicken skewers and shrimp whatevers. And you were over there getting your food, and I was like, “I’m not going to go over. I’m not going to be that guy, like, heyyyy, [untranscribable gurgling noise].”
But I’m over there, filling my plate with food, and there was a gentleman standing between us. And sure enough, he walks away, and we both turned at the same time to each other with our plates of food. And you just looked me up and down really quick and said, “You’re very handsome.” Do you remember that at all?”
Will Ferrell was asked about the encounter three years ago during a Reddit AMA and the two had a charity drum off on The Tonight Show.
Fast forward to a recent performance where a fan called Chad Smith Will Ferrell during a song break.
