Will Ferrell has said he wants to take his mom to the Eurovision Song Contest next year in Liverpool – if he can find somewhere for them to stay.
“It’s in Liverpool this year, right?” Ferrell, who appeared in “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga,” asked radio host Zoe Ball while stopping into her BBC show on Tuesday morning. “My mother really wants me to take her to Eurovision, she’s dying to go and she’s always wanted to go to Liverpool.”
But the actor and comedian was concerned he might not be able to find any accommodation in Liverpool given the scale of the event. “Aren’t all the hotels booked by now?” he asked before appealing to locals to host him. “We just need a clean tidy room. We’ll share a room. With just two bunk beds that’s all we need,” he said. “My mom would love that she’d be thrilled.”
British fans were quick to offer Ferrell a place to stay via Twitter. One fan tweeted Ryan Reynolds, Ferrell’s co-star in their new film “Spirited,” saying: “here, tell Will Ferrell he and his mum can stay at my house in Liverpool for the Eurovision Song Contest. I’ll even give him use of my car for 3 hours a day too if he wants. Pass that on if you would be so kind. Cheers.”
