Comic actor Will Ferrell, whose hit movies include “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” and his wife have had their second baby boy, Ferrell`s representative said on Tuesday. Did he name it Ricky Baby? No, no he didn’t.
Mattias Ferrell was born in the early hours on Saturday in Los Angeles, according to a statement from his publicist Matt Labov.
“All are healthy, happy and otherwise okay,” Labov said. Ferrell and his wife Viveca have one other boy, 2 year-old Magnus.
Ferrell shot to stardom on television sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live,” and the funnyman has risen to become a major Hollywood star in such movies as “Elf,” “The Producers” and the recent “Stranger Than Fiction.”
I have a theory that for every kid a comedian has, they lose 25% of their funnyness. You see it happen with all comedians: Seinfield, Eddy Murphy, Jim Carey, and the list goes on and on. Will Ferrell, now with two kids, has lost 50% of his humor. You will see worse and worser movies from now on, even worser than Ricky Booby.

Congrats to Will Ferrel and his wife on their new baby boy! I wonder if Will is going to take a little time off from making movies to spend time with his new baby. That must be so hard with his busy schedule to make time for the family. I’m sure his family visits him on set a lot. I just recently saw Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Will Ferrel’s character was hilarious. Talladega Nights and Will Ferrel are both nominated for a People’s Choice Award. Tune in on January 9 at 9pm on CBS to see if they take home the award. I already voted for them because I work with the People’s Choice Community. Queen Latifah is hosting so it should be a spectacular event. You can also go to and ask Will or any other celeb a question it may be answered LIVE at the show! Don’t miss it!
