Will Ferrell shared the supposed REAL reason why a second Elf movie never hit the big screen! Following the massive success of the first film, which grossed $220 million at the box office, the 54-year-old comedian revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that a sequel was already in the works with a script written and everything.

But despite being offered a whopping $29 million paycheck to reprise his role as Buddy the Elf, he turned it down. Why is that?

Apparently, the script was so bad and similar to the original that the actor just couldn’t get behind the project: Related: Isaiah Washington Claims Ellen Pompeo Was Paid $5M To Keep Quiet About Patrick Dempsey’s Behavior So shady!!!
