PEORIA, Ill. – It’s not every day you see a big time comedian and movie star in Central Illinois.
But Will Ferrell was indeed in the area Tuesday, according to social media.
The restaurant Maquet’s Rail House posted on Facebook that Ferrell was there for lunch, and work.
“Yes, it’s true. Been a interesting, but great afternoon,” posted Maquet’s. “Sorry if you weren’t able to get a table, but they were running late and filming on our pizza side.”
It’s not clear what Ferrell was filming.
The eatery is located in downtown Pekin on Court Street.
According to the Facebook page of “The Basket Case Pub” in Peoria near Bradley University, Ferrell was there Tuesday evening as well, reportedly singing karaoke.
