He looked in good spirits as punters tried to figure out whether they were really looking at the funnyman.

But his identity was quickly confirmed when the taxi driver shouted, “Is it really you?”.

The Step Brothers star, 58, chuckled and gave a nod as passers-by wondered what was going on.

One eagle-eyed fan – who didn’t want to be pictured – shared a selfie with the Scottish Sun showing his dream meeting with the movie maestro.

He said: “You don’t expect to see Will Ferrell getting out a taxi in the middle of Glasgow.

“He looked really relaxed with his wife and it’s cool to know that such huge celebrities are choosing to come to Scotland.”

The actor simply told fans he was visiting Glasgow rather than suggesting he was working on any projects.

He’s just the latest famous face to appear in the city after Spider Man brought a galaxy of stars.

The Marvel sequel has shut down numerous streets as Tom Holland, 29, gets to grips with all sorts of explosive stunts.

Film crews have even put up screens around their new Glasgow film shoot in a bid to prevent spoilers.

The city has been transformed into New York as crews shoot scenes for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

An explosive tank chase scene has already been filmed on Bothwell Street, which attracted hundreds of onlookers who gathered to get a glimpse of the action.

Filming has now moved to the busy St Vincent Street for another scene involving the armoured vehicle.

But a shroud of secrecy is over the new film set after fences with white fire-proof screens were set up around the set.

It is understood this could be to prevent some spoilers from getting out compared to the lack of measures to prevent people from seeing the previous action scenes.

They could also be measures to protect any onlookers from explosive stunts involving fire.

But the mystery has only created a web of intrigue and didn’t deter nosy movie fans from trying to get a glimpse.

Many have been climbing onto walls and fences and walking further up the hill on St Vincent Street to get a view into the set.

Some even wandered up to the barriers and got on their tip-toes to reach up with their phones to get a picture.
