Will Ferrell is a comedian on the big screen and at home, and regularly performs funny stunts for his family.
On June 11, the actor's 20-year-old son Magnus shared one of his father's hilarious pranks. He posted on TikTok to call out his father's “prank” with a photo of them together before their graduation party.
In the image, Ferrell, 56, looks proud in a slouchy black top hat, a maroon tunic with gold stitching and a wide-brimmed white collar. Magnus wears a gray and black pinstriped suit with a polka dot shirt and a black tie.
Magnus says his father “dressed up like a medieval lord” to embarrass him, but he rates it 10,000 out of 10 for comedy value. Many of his followers agreed and praised the comedy icon for his silly parenting jokes in the comments.
“Personally, I'd be fine with that because he's Will Ferrell,” one fan admitted.
Another wrote: “I would be totally fine with my dad doing this if he were Will Ferrell.”
A third TikTok user praised Ferrell's appearance to which Magnus responded, “That's why it was embarrassing because he looked so good.”
“I just know y'all's family events are hilarious,” one fan wrote.
Magnus is the oldest of Ferrell's three children with his wife of 24 years, Viveca Paulin, along with Mattias, 17, and Axel, 14.
Talking with People Magazine in 2008, the Talladega Nights The star offered her fellow parents some unsolicited advice.
“For me, talk to your kids, at least once a week,” he suggested. “If you have time, do it two or three times a week, but otherwise, I find that the times I let weeks and weeks go by without talking to my kids, it adds up.”
The biggest adjustment to becoming a father was the lack of peace, Ferrell said during an interview in 2017, noting that the noise from several children in the house was intense.
“At home there is usually a lot of volume. Whether they are having a great time or losing their minds, they are always screaming,” she said.
