Will Ferrell is more often than not, hilarious, especially when he’s in his character from Anchorman. The aforementioned character made a cameo in a post-match interview with Roger Federer after his first-round win at the Aussie Open, and, there were shenanigans.
"Roger, would you describe your game as a silky gazelle?"
Anchorman hits @rogerfederer with the hard questions… 😂#AusOpen pic.twitter.com/l6gAphIqKh

Some of the hardest hitting questions included:
— Tonight you seemed like a gazelle out there on the court. Would you describe your game as a silky gazelle?
— You’re 32 years old, you seem ageless. Are you a witch or a vampire?
— Is it true you only eat wombat meat? Have you ever tasted wombat meat?
— Does it get annoying when (the crowd) screams ‘come on Roger!’ over and over again?
Roger has been around the block enough to be able to enjoy these happy moments. At least the questions made John McEnroe laugh, which scientists (you’ll need to check me on this one) had said recently was not possible.
We doubt this will happen later in the tournament, but after the first round, everyone is OK for a laugh, right?
