WILL FERRELL DIGS PABLO CRUISE / PICS HERE
June 20, 2008
As the title of one of ‘70s California rock band Pablo Cruise’s biggest hits puts it, “Whatcha Gonna Do?” When a Vanity Fair writer tracked down the band’s Cory Lerios to tell him that the group’s T-shirt, adorned with its iconic sun and palm tree logo, was being worn by Will Ferrell and prominently featured in a trailer for Sony’s major summer motion picture Step Brothers, he didn’t know quite how to react.
Although Lerios had previously given Sony Studios permission to use the T-shirt, he had no idea how prominently it would be featured in the movie, which opens nationally July 25, after Ferrell reportedly picked it out from a wardrobe rack.
“We were amazed at how much Will was wearing it in the trailer,” said Cory, who formed the band in 1973 in San Francisco with guitarist/vocalist David Jenkins, drummer Steve Price and bassist Bud Cockrell. “When I started getting calls from people in the industry, friends and fans, saying you need to jump on this, I’m thinking jump on what?…”it’s just a shirt for God’s sake, but then again, it is like an ad for Pablo Cruise.” So, Dave and Cory decided to hunt down the exact jersey Will Farrell is wearing in the movie (it’s vintage Pablo Ware) and have a bunch made and at the very least spread ‘em around!
Pablo Cruise (both current and vintage), as well as a movie still of Will Ferrell wearing the T-shirt, please go to:
