When Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis Read ‘50 Shades of Grey,’ they may not be the most true-to-intended-characters, but they do bring a hilarity to the best-selling adult novel that has yet to be seen. As part of their promo interview for their upcoming ‘The Campaign’ feature film, the hilarious duo sat down with an interviewer to discuss their chemistry, proving its existence with a dramatic reading of the racy novel.
50 Shades of Grey has been one of the most prominent novels of 2012 thus far. As a result, the wise interviewer asks Ferrell and Galifianakis to check out the adult fiction and read aloud to their fans. Surprisingly, the two read in a manner that is shockingly serious and, between their page confusion and bumps along the way, the video is pretty hysterical.
