When This Comedy Legend Almost Played Buddy Hobbs In Elf Before Will Ferrell Made It Iconic

Did You Know Jim Carrey Almost Played Buddy In Will Ferrell’s Elf? (Photo Credit – Prime Video) Elf without Will Ferrell feels impossible, right? His silly charm, wide-eyed wonder, and laugh-out-loud lines made it a holiday favorite. But guess what? He wasn’t even the first pick for Buddy! In the early ‘90s, when Elf was just a Hollywood daydream, another comedy icon was set to play Buddy. That actor had a chaotic energy, a super-expressive face, and a history of playing quirky characters. It seemed like a perfect fit (until it wasn’t). By the time Elf got made, the first-choice actor was long gone, leaving the role wide open. That twist of fate brought in Ferrell, and the rest is history. But who nearly became Buddy Hobbs? And would Elf still be the same holiday gem if that had happened? Let’s rewind to where it all began. Another Comedy Legend Who Almost Played Buddy Before Will Ferrell Before Will Ferrell brought Buddy Hobbs to life, Elf had another star in mind. That star is none …

Colbert said to the Elf Star, “You came over to us because when the scene started, and when Nora Ephron called action, we saw why Nicole Kidman was a movie star.” The talkshow host further added, “Because the moment she called ‘action,’ she flipped some switches. She became the most alluring and beautiful woman—she’s a beautiful woman, but something preternatural happened, and we did the scene, and all of us are in, like, a …
