Watch: Will Ferrell crashes Seahawks Zoom meeting

Leave it to Will Ferrell to crash the Seattle Seahawks virtual zoom meeting.

The team was expecting to meet new teammate Greg Olsen, but it was actually actor/comedian Will Ferrell who appeared on the screen instead.

The 52-year-old comedian dressed up as Olsen, and it was unbelievably hilarious. Check it out:

Ferrell was good for some laughs, and noted that he loves quarterback Russell Wilson. Ferrell and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll have been friends for a long time, going back to Carroll’s USC days — Ferrell is a USC fan.

With Zoom meetings being pretty cut and dry these days, the Seahawks were probably happy to get a visit from Ferrell.

The comedian has also impersonated athletes in the past. In movies, he played a basketball player in "Semi-Pro," a figure skater in "Blades of Glory" and a NASCAR driver in "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby." He also rocketed to stardom as the Cheerleader on SNL.
