It’s that time of year where stories such as this one might have you checking your calendar to see if it’s April 1.
Rest assured, this is very much the real deal.
Will Ferrell is making inroads on the beauty industry, lending his face (and speedo-clad body) to promote a new brand of sunscreen.
“The sun is an evil celestial demon,” he recently explained. “It tricks us into worshipping it with its warm alluring rays and bright primary colour.
“Don’t be fooled. It wants to destroy us and is hell bent on world domination. I’ve worked in my lab with a team of skin scientists and retired astronaut Brock Sternum to create what we think is our best sunscreen yet.”
Given the nature of his many film appearances, not everyone is convinced that Ferrell’s latest venture is a serious matter…
Can’t wait for Will Ferrell’s new sunscreen to hit the market. Don’t know if it’s a prank or for real. Either way it would be fun.

… but as reported by the Telegraph, the project is far from a joke.
He created the product along with College for Cancer, a charity that provides scholarships for cancer survivors.
The SPF 30 sunscreen, known as Will Ferrell’s Sexy Hot Tan, costs $20( nearly £14) for two tubes and all proceeds go towards the foundation.
It’s great to see him using humour to support such a good cause.
