Will is a huge fan of baseball. He had the chance to play 5 games for the Major League Baseball in 2015 for 10 Cactus League teams for a charity special.

Will Ferrell Political Views

A Democrat, Will enjoys making fun of Republicans like Bush or the Tea Party. “I had a couple of opportunities to go and meet [President Bush], and I declined, partly out of comedic purposes, because when I was on the show at the time, it didn’t make sense to really meet the people that you play, for fear of them influencing you. And then the other side of it is, from a political standpoint, I don’t want to meet that guy.”

Who is he dating?

Ferrell married Swedish actress Viveca Paulin in 2010, whom she met in 1995 at an acting class, and have been with her since. The couple’s had three kids together.

Random Facts

Will Ferrell is sometimes mistaken for Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, over which both have had a running joke feud over the years. In light of that, both had a drum-off at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Although Smith gave the obvious better performance, Ferrell was declared the winner and joined the RHCP to play Don’t Fear the Reaper.
