Will Ferrell Accepts Drum Duel With Doppelganger Chad Smith
They're going head-to-head for charity
Comedian Will Ferrell has said yes to a drum duel with his uncanny doppelganger Chad Smith. Ferrell once again joked about his physical similarities to the Red Hot Chili Pepper drummer in a Reditt chat on 5th February, writing: "A lot of people think that it's me playing for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
“But that would be an insult to Chad Smith. The truth of the matter is there is no Will Ferrell. Only Chad Smith."
The comments prompted Chad Smith to offer the actor a musical battle to raise money for the charity Cancer for College via a series of exchanges on Instagram.
Smith said: “Stop impersonating me. In fact, I need you. Drum battle, me and you, I’ve seen your skills, you don’t got ‘em.”
In a further Reddit chat, Ferrell has now magnanimously accepted the challenge put before him.
“I saw your video and graciously accept your invitation to a drum battle,” Ferrell wrote. “If we can raise $300,000 for Cancer for College, I will face off with you in the greatest drum vs. cowbell showdown the world has ever seen.”
“We can do it on stage at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert or in front of a mutually convenient public library.”
Chad simply responded: “BRING IT!”
No date, venue or time has yet been confirmed for the doppelganger duel but we’ll bring you the info as soon as we get it.
