Hollywood funny man Will Ferrell was left embarrassed in a photo shoot when his wife walked in at an inopportune moment.

Ferrell and supermodel Heidi Klum were modelling for American magazine Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue to promote Ferrell's latest comedy Semi-Pro when Mrs Ferrell, Viveca Paulin, decided to pay her hubby a surprise visit.

"My wife walked in right at the moment when I was biting Heidi's butt," he said. "But she is incredibly accepting of all these things. She just rolled with it."

Semi-Pro, which also stars Woody Harrelson and is scheduled for release next week, features Ferrell as Jackie Moon, a basketball coach who helps a struggling side transform their fortunes.
