During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Will Ferrell revealed that he turned down $29 million to come back for an Elf sequel.
According to Ferrell, he turned down the sequel because the story was similar to the original 2003 film.
"I would have had to promote the movie from an honest place, which would've been, like, 'Oh no, it's not good. I just couldn't turn down that much money,'" Ferrell, 54, said. "And I thought, 'Can I actually say those words? I don't think I can, so I guess I can't do the movie.'"
When Elf was first released back in 2003, it was a massive hit raking in $223 million at the box office and becoming a Christmas classic.
