Will Ferrell gets into character as security guard 'Ted Vagina' with a crude name badge at Lakers game

He might have been having a day off, but it seems that comedian Will Ferrell just can't resist getting a cheap laugh.
Instead of kicking back and relaxing at the Lakers game in Los Angeles on Tuesday, he decided to dress up as a Staples Centre security guard - and gave the audience something to remember by wearing a 'Ted Vagina' name badge.
Dressed in a red jacket and tie, and sporting a bushy Anchorman-style moustache, the funnyman singled out former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, making him get up before escorting him out of the building.

Comfortable in character: The actor wore the full uniform, consisting of black trousers and a red jacket

Making sure all eyes were on him before the game started, the funnyman stood in front of the crowd wearing the same uniform as the rest of the security team.

 

Clearly getting his kicks by surprising the star-studded crowd, Will then proceeded to stand facing everyone, just as the real security team were doing all over the court.
Getting completely into character, the Anchorman star kept a straight face as he scouted the crowd, looking stern, before locking eyes with the 7ft1in retired sportsman.

Seeing a comedic situation in the making, Will demanded that Shaquille get up out of his seat and put his hands behind his back before marching him out of the stadium.
Being a good sport, the star played along, accompanying the funnyman out of the building with the hint of a smile on his face.
The 45-year-old then became involved in the game, removing his jacket and tucking into a tasty snack as he leaned forward, engrossed in what was going on in front of him.
