The actor performed songs like “Eye Of The Tiger” and “Mr. Brightside”.
It was supposed to be a regular party before a football game against the University of Arizona, but Will Ferrell had other plans. The mime surprised everyone at the weekend with a DJ set at his former university, the University of Southern California. With songs like “Eye Of The Tiger” and “Mr. Brightside” he really mixed up the college party and celebrated with the students.
Wearing a USC cap and sunglasses, Will Ferrell showed up at the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity party and played some classics at the DJ booth. Videos later show him using a hand-held smoke gun. The scene is reminiscent of the 2003 film “Old School” in which Ferrell took on the role of Frank The Tank – a man in his 30s who, together with his boys, forms a fraternity to relive his college days.

Ferrell himself graduated from USC in 1990 with a degree in exercise science. During his time there he was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity. He then joined the improv group The Groundlings and became a featured member of Saturday Night Live.
The actor’s son is currently studying at USC. In 2017, Ferrell returned to the university, gave a commencement speech and also received an honorary doctorate.
His last acting appearance was as CEO of Mattel in “Barbie.”
