User with paid-for blue tick verification, not actor, apologised to Sunderland football fans after match
The BBC has removed a story about Will Ferrell apologising to Sunderland football fans, after being fooled by a parody Twitter account with a paid-for blue tick.
Ferrell, who has been touring Britain attending football matches over the past month, recorded a video before Sunderland played his team, Queens Park Rangers, in which he mocked “the tears of sorrow” his opponents were going to experience.
