Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg may be buddies, but it turns out that the stars’ kids, Ferrell’s son, Magnus, and Wahlberg’s daughter, Ella, are also friends. “My oldest son [who was reportedly 13 at the time] told me Mark’s daughter [who was 14] requested to follow him on Instagram,” Ferrell revealed while the two actors sat down for a chat on The Graham Norton Show in 2017.
This development had Wahlberg noting, “I did come to grips with the fact that it is inevitable at some point she will have a dating life and, you know, be involved with somebody. And if there were ever two parents that would spawn a child that I would think polite, kind, thoughtful, respectful, and worthy enough of my child’s time, it would be from Will and his lovely wife, Viv. They are spectacular.”
However, he also added, “So I decided that I wouldn’t do anything to the kid, but I’ll crack Will’s f***ing head open.” Ferrell nervously added, “He’s just joking!” Let’s hope so.
That being said, it seems that Magnus and Ella’s dad’s are fully supportive of the two getting to know each other. Perhaps its because it might mean that the two actors — who are obviously good friends — would get to spend a little more time together.
