Bad elf advice

JAMES Caan, who died this week aged 82, was tortured by Kathy Bates in misery and machine- gunned to pieces as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather. But the role I’ll most remember him for was as Will Ferrell’s dad in elf.

The Hollywood hellraiser married four times, had five children and admitted snorting a lot of cocaine.

I’m guessing Caan took elf’s philosophy of life to heart: ‘Treat every day like Christmas.’ Snow and all.
