Renowned
funnyman
Will
Ferrell,
who
rose
to
fame
with
comedy
show
'Saturday
Night
Live',
has
been
honoured
with
a
star
on
the
Hollywood
Walk
of
Fame.
"It's
one
of
those
very
surreal
moments
where
it's
a
place
that
you've
visited
a
lot
growing
up,
especially
growing
up
in
Southern
California,
and
looking
at
all
the
names
but
I
don't
think
you'd
ever
envision
that
one
day
you'll
be
in
that
same
company," the
actor
said.
The
47-year-old
"The
Lego
Movie" actor
said
since
his
star
is
in
front
of
the
Hollywood
Wax
Museum,
he
would
probably
get
a
lifetime
membership,
reported
E!
Online.
Among
those
who
attended
the
event
was
his
friend
and
fellow
funnyman
John
C
Reilly,
who
co-starred
with
Ferrell
in
"Talladega
Nights:
The
Ballad
of
Ricky
Bobby"
and
"Step
Brothers",
along
with
his
"Saturday
Night
Live"
castmate
Molly
Shannon.

Both
joined
him
in
speaking
at
the
ceremony
on
Hollywood
Boulevard,
and
Reilly
even
recited
a
poem
about
Ferrell
ending
up
on
the
street.
"Maybe
some
day,
in
50
years,
people
will
look
down
on
the
sidewalk
and
say
the
things
that
we
say
today
about
some
of
these
people:
'Who
is
this
guy?"
Reilly
joked.
"But
I
hope
not.
This
man
is
deserving
of
all
the
praise
we
give
him
today."
Shannon
praised
Ferrell
for
being
one
of
the
most
genuine
people
in
the
industry,
and
shared
that
the
actor
had
his
doubts
about
succeeding
in
show
business.
"He
said,
'I
don't
know,
what
if
acting
doesn't
work
out?
What
if
animation
totally
takes
over
and
they
don't
need
real
human
actors?'"
Shannon
said.
"I
said
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
happen,
and
he
said,
'I
could
just
have
a
simple
life,
driving
a
truck
or
living
on
a
farm
and
driving
that
truck
on
that
farm.' So,
he
had
a
backup
plan."
