Wembley Stadium is reportedly set to welcome Will Ferrell for the Championship play-off final should Leeds United make it there.
Hollywood superstar Ferrell, who is already co-owner at MLS side Los Angeles FC, has purchased a minority stake in the Yorkshire giants.

The news comes at a crucial yet exciting time of the season for Leeds as they face Norwich City in the Championship play-offs semi-finals.
Should they beat the Canaries over the two legs, then they will face either West Brom or Southampton in the final on May 26.
And if Leeds make it to Wembley, The Sun report that Ferrell will be there to watch them fight for promotion to the Premier League.
The actor, whose wealth is an estimated £127million, is the latest celebrity to invest in the Whites via through their US owners 49ers Enterprises.
He joins fellow acting legend Russell Crowe, golf stars Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, and Olympic icon Michael Phelps.
Ferrell is no stranger to English football having previously attended Premier League matches at Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.
But a trip to Wembley wouldn’t be his first having already been to the home of football to watch Wrexham in the 2022 FA Trophy final.
He was spotted with co-owner Ryan Reynolds and footballing legend David Beckham as Bromley went on to beat the Welsh side 1-0.

Ferrell will be hoping his next visit to Wembley is more successful and it could come with Leeds in two week’s time.
Daniel Farke’s side have been right in the promotion mix for much of the season and even sat top of the Championship in March.
However, they won just once in their final six matches of the season and finished third behind Leicester City and Ipswich Town.
Leeds were relegated from the Premier League last season so victory in the play-offs would therefore seal an instant return.
