Will
Ferrell has gained the reputation as a comedian who’s not afraid to
do anything. He’ll run down the street naked in Old School and make
out with his Saturday Night Live costars, even the guys. But Ferrell
is not a wild man. In an interview, he sits quietly, almost sedate.
It’s the opposite of his character in Elf, who is so
enthusiastically happy all the time.
“That was kind of the fun part of getting to play this
character because I don’t know if I’ve played anything that was
constantly eternally optimistic,” Ferrell said. “So that actually
was the fun part of doing the role. If we could find a way to handle
it correctly, the appeal of it was to be able to shoot a film that
would be funny but also heartfelt and be a different type of thing
for me to do in terms of something that a family audience would see
as opposed to some of the other projects that I have gotten to work
on which have obviously been for a different audience. That was the
appeal. To have the potential to be in something like this.”
