It’s Will Ferrell of course.

The outing comes after Will opened up about the filming of one of his biggest hits: Elf.

The actor played Buddy the Elf in the holiday comedy, an elf from the North Pole who learns his real father is a New York publishing executive (James Caan).

The film was a huge hit, earning $228.9 million worldwide from just a $33 million budget.

The funnyman appeared on his Anchorman co-star Christina Applegate‘s Messy podcast, where he admitted James Caan didn’t think he was funny.

He said: ‘In between set ups, [Caan] would be like, “I don’t get you. You’re not funny.” And I’m like, “I know. I’m not Robin Williams”.

‘And he was like, “People ask me: Is he funny? And I’m like, No, he’s not funny.”‘

He added that it was at the premiere when James had seen the finished film that he said what he really thought.

‘And then we were walking out of the theatre at the premiere, and we walk out together and I take it as the best compliment because it’s coming from James Caan.

‘He was like, “I’ve got to tell you: I thought everything you were doing while we were filming was way too over the top. Now that I see it in the movie, it’s brilliant,’” Will said. 

‘But I love that the whole time, he’s not acting. He’s truly annoyed with me. He’s like, “Can this guy shut the f**k up? Jesus,”‘ Will joked.

‘I literally drove him crazy in that movie, just acting like that kid. But that was the funniest thing, him walking out of the theatre and shaking his head and going ‘It’s brilliant,”‘ Will admitted.
