Will Ferrell is a dad for the third time. The star and his wife, Viveca Paulin, welcomed their third son, Axel, on Saturday — just hours after Will appeared as the final guest on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.
Does Will Ferrell have what it takes to play Mr. Mean on the big screen? The comic actor says there’s a lot of Ron Burgundy in X Factor judge Simon Cowell.

Comedian Will Ferrell is close to sealing a deal to revive his on-screen anchorman Ron Burgundy in a sequel to his hit 2004 film, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
“The odds are good. We’re going to talk to all the guys next week – Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd and everybody else – to see if it’s feasible to do it, because everybody’s at different places right now, with totally different schedules,” Will says.
“Hopefully we can start filming in a couple of years.”
