Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck’s sing-along covered all the bases.
The “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” stars led baseball attendees in a sing-along of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” while at Nat Bailey Stadium in Vancouver, Canada, on Sunday.
During the Vancouver Canadians versus the AquaSox game, Broderick, 63, and Ruck, 69, both dressed in t-shirts, hoodies, and glasses, sang into the microphone as the crowd chimed in.
The mini reunion comes 39 years after the actors starred in the high school comedy together in 1986.
The John Hughes movie sees Ferris skipping school and having everything go his way.
Broderick portrayed the lead, Ferris Bueller, while Ruck played his best friend, Cameron Frye, who wasn’t as lucky.
In the cult classic, the best friends attend a baseball game at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, alongside Ferris’ girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) — and try to avoid their high school principal (Jeffrey Jones).
Broderick and Ruck are currently in Vancouver shooting another project together.
The “Inspector Gadget” actor and “Succession” alum are reuniting for “The Best is Yet to Come.”
The project is reminiscent of their iconic ’80s comedy and follows two friends who embark on a road trip.
In the Jon Turteltaub film, Broderick and Ruck “play best friends who, through a colossal misunderstanding that creates a ticking clock, hop in a car to find the estranged son of one of them and also try to do all the things that life has prevented them from doing,” according to Deadline.
Earlier this month, Broderick and Ruck were seen filming their latest project in Vancouver.
While on set, the actors were joined by Ruck’s wife, actress Mireille Enos, and their two children.
Before “Ferris Bueller,” Broderick and Ruck previously worked together in a 1985 Broadway production of “Biloxi Blues.”
They also co-starred in the 1998 drama, “Walking to the Waterline.”
Broderick supported Ruck in May 2023 during the “Succession” Season 4 premiere in New York City.
HBO shared a clip to social media, writing, “Life moves pretty fast.”
In April 2023, the actors spoke about their long-lasting friendship during a chat for Interview Magazine.
Ruck admitted he owes Broderick for his career in Hollywood.
“Because if there was no Matthew Broderick, there probably wouldn’t have been a ‘Biloxi Blues,’ and that was a major springboard for me,” the “Speed” star explained. “If it wasn’t for ‘Biloxi Blues,’ ‘Ferris Bueller’ wouldn’t have happened for me. I’ve told you this before, but I think in a previous life you saved me from some horrible death.”
In February 2024, it was announced that a “Ferris Bueller” spinoff was in the works.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the follow-up movie “Sam and Victor’s Day Off” will focus on the two valets who borrow the Ferrari belonging to Cameron’s dad in the original film.
