Sports Illustrated 2008 Swimsuit Issue

Heidi Klum & Will Ferrell

Funny comedian Will Ferrell teams up with Supermodel Heidi Klum for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

If you're wondering why Ferrell is in the SI shoot; it is to promote his new film, 'Semi-Pro' in which Ferrell plays 1970's basketball team owner/coach/player, Jackie Moon.

The Heidi Klum & Will Ferrell SI shoot has a naughty, yet funny theme. The duo pose playfully and are lensed by photographer Andrew Macpherson.
