Will Ferrell - Staying Classy: The Biography

by Ryan Hutton

From playing the school joker as a young boy to shake off the trauma of his parents' divorce to becoming one of the world's most bankable movie stars, Will Ferrell has always used comedy as a way to bring happiness to others. He doesn't care if you laugh at him or with him - if you're laughing at all, then he's done his job. This comprehensive biography of Will Ferrell explores his early days on famed US variety show Saturday Night Live, and also charts Will's transition from quirky support character to being one of the world's most bankable movie stars - thanks to films like Elf, The Other Guys and, of course, a certain little-known anchorman from San Diego. Read Will The Biography if you want to stay classy!

[Joey Weiss]

Remarkably unimpressive. Written like a series of hastily thrown-together middle school essays (including typos and unclear quotes and elementary citations to obscure and long-forgotten pop culture blogs), spending entire chapters on forgettable movies while barely giving his best work a half page. Maybe someday someone will write the book this subject deserves.

[Stephen Chase]

The greatest Will Ferrell biography ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Calvin Husmann]

I Love Will Ferrell, but I did not love this book. Poorly written, which turned into tedious reading experience. I still love Will Ferrell, so thankfully the book didn’t ruin that.

John William Ferrell is funny. Born on July 16th, 1967, in Irvine, California.

Copying & pasting a bunch of interviews from the internet doth not make a great biography. 🙄
