i think this is the first time ive ever seen the genuine Will Ferrell.
i like it!
I was thinking the same thing. He's always doing a character, or at least adding some kind of ironic edge to everything, and he seemed totally genuine here.
thought the exact same thing and happy hes not an ass kinda thought he might be or a snob
I think that's what makes him so great.
This is what I came here to post. He always does a bit when he's doing talk show interviews.
Then you haven't seen the movie he's talking about or "Everything Must Go", another serious film, Will plays an alcoholic in that one and he nails it! He's a great serious actor, he just doesn't get the roles bc people don't go to the theaters to see him in a real role, they still want The Tank.
He was so good in Stranger than Fiction, I really wish he'd do more like that.
Then write something that good, and make sure he gets it. That’s all you have to do. Good luck.
@@jamescarter3196 the thought of pitching a script to a Hollywood production company or director and then getting Will Ferrell in it is a monumental task for an unknown script writer...
... But it's not impossible. I hope he goes and proves me wrong 👍
@@randomdaveUK So true! and ... Me too!
Everything Must Go was a fairly decent dramatic movie by him as well. Not the same quality, but still a flex of his dramatic muscles.
@@mattbest9095 I will check it out! Thanks.
In the first few minutes of 'Stranger than Fiction' I kept waiting for Will to be the funny man - but after a while, I forgot and just got lost in the story. And to this day, it's still one of my favorite films.
And he was such a good actor in it! It reminded me of Robin Williams in 'Awakenings'. I think great comedians are capable of swinging in the opposite direction and doing straight drama and he really proved he was one of those.
yes! It’s one of my faves too
"I wish my Dad was here today to see this. When did he pass? Oh he's still alive, he lives up the road in Irvine." LOL
lol
Still my favorite Will Ferrell movie he's ever done. I could watch that movie a million times. Just a brilliant script with so many subtlety and brilliant acting all around.
It's weird to see him do an interview just being himself. I'm used to him either being in character or just being over-the-top. Nice!
My grandma clapped at the end of Stranger Than Fiction, it was great
The Off Camera Show is phenomenal! Keep up the hard work Sam! This is honestly great stuff!
These interviews are consistently great, and getting to see Will Ferrell do a self-reveal is gold.
Stranger than Fiction is one of my all time favorite films.
Oh my god, I love Stranger than Fiction! It's such an amazing concept and Will and everyone were so good in it. He should make more movies like that!
Great interview...loving this program...just discovered it.
Have you binged them all yet? I put off many responsibilities when I first discovered this show
I have resisted...I do not want to burn through them all yet. The problem is I work evenings and it is easy to put them on while I am working and just let them play through!
If you have Netflix, you can now watch full length episodes of Season 1!
I love your show, are you planning on releasing it in more regions for non-US resident ?
By the way, I noticed in the description it says "Stranger Than Faction".
I love Will in that movie. Everyone was amazing although Will showed what he is capable of.
I love of camera I can't get enough of it . It's so calm and real and simple and down to earth
Stranger than Fiction is my all time favorite movie!!! 😊
What I love about these interviews is that the actors being interviewed are themselves - too often, you see actors 'perform' when being interviewed. I love the honesty of these interviews
Stranger Than Fiction is such an awesome movie!! And Will Ferrell is so brilliant in it!! It’s so awesome to see Ferrell be so normal here.
I've been watching this whole series of these videos and Will is so much more quiet and pleasant than he is portrayed on screen. It's wild to see.
That really is a gem of a movie - very touching, genuine performances. It’s the first time I saw another side of Will Ferrel and he does an excellent job
Stranger Than Fiction is one of my all time favorite movies. I went into it expecting something like Step Brothers, and was blown away with what I found.
Not exactly hilarious but a really good one either way. I love these interviews.
It's kinda hilarious.
Stranger than fiction is legit one of my favorite movies everrrrrr. Will Farrell kicked ass in this movie. It's so damn good!
Great to watch him work up close, so friendly and very professional x
I love Will Ferrell so much.
I love these interviews, and seeing Will relaxed and - presumably - "himself." My very favorite part is Will's laugh - kind of a cackle - at 2:21 just it cuts to the end card. That seems so natural and real. This is Will Ferrell, really laughing.
I enjoy a lot (not all) of Will Ferrell’s comedies, but thought “Stranger Than Fiction” really showed his potential as an actor. A great movie. Perhaps my favourite of his films.
Stranger Than Fiction is criminally underrated
Something like that happened in my office several decades ago. The secretary walked into the room and noticed that one of my colleagues was wearing a dress suit. She asked him about it, and he said, "After work, I'm going to a reception for a friend of mine, Chuck Bolden. His son is up there." With the words "up there," he pointed upward. The secretary said, "Oh, I'm sorry. How did he die?" My colleague replied, "I didn't say he was dead; I said he was up there. He's Chuck Bolden, Jr., the astronaut."
The greatest thing to ever come out of Tustin, CA, is William Ferrell
Awesome interview
Stranger than fiction was great! I think the writer must have read Niebla (Fog) by Miguel de Unamuno, one of Spain's most famous modern novels, because the premise is exactly the same.
One day I'll be on this....
As you wish. When that happens, please don't forget that somebody from TH-cam voted up your wish. :)
Miss S. Indeed
Deon Hunt you and me both amigo.. the race is on
You might. They need people to fill the water glasses and clean up the seats for the next time.
Anyone with the courage to chase a life of passion... I encourage you and wish you the best.
Anyone with the courage to criticise someone’s dream with a keyboard on a TH-cam comment, I wish that what ever happened to you that makes you bitter towards others passes and you find love
criminally underrated film
It's my highest rated of Will's. It's an enjoyable good movie.
Will is freaking awesome
I love stranger than fiction.
And so it was.... a wristwatch saved Harold Crick
As someone who identifies as Will's father, this really touched me
Sam: *Tries to give sincere compli-*
Will Ferrell: Yeah, yeah.
I love stranger than fiction !
What a great dude
its nearly impossible to take him seriously. his face alone makes me crack up
I love this interview... Totally different side of Will Ferrell
The description box says “Stranger than Faction”. This isn’t the movie with Will Fuhrer, right?
I think Will might be the best comedy actor of all time. but that's saying a lot
The audio isn’t synced when I watch these interviews. Is anyone else experiencing that?
I love stranger than fiction
0:59 Sam's reaction is priceless 😂
A wonderful performance. He’s funny as hell, of course. But to play it straight and hit it out of the park like he did, makes you want to see him play the other colors more often. It might make his future comedies even funnier too.
When the voice tells Harold he'll die (watch?v=eq22cbpER90). Some of the best acting ever put on film. It's not a spoiler, don't worry.
As weird as it may sound, Stranger Than fiction is actually my favorite movie by Will Ferrel.
Not weird. That movie is very underrated.
meketone It's not underrated, at all. It was very well received by critics and watchers. It has about 7 or 8 on both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
It's just not very well known.
@@snowdjagha Actually, a 72% on Rotten Tomatoes is most definitely underrating this film, hence why the RT audience score is 85%. The 7.6 currently on IMDB and the 67/100 Metacritic scores also constitute the film being underrated. I did a casebook on Stranger than Fiction for film class, compiling both academic and media sources, and while the movie was lauded by those who got it, too many didn't. It also wasn't marketed properly, given that it was Ferrell's first non-wacky comedy, and the trailers gave the impression it was a more raucous than it was - even some of the music they picked for the trailer was completely out of sync with the pace and style of the film.
When a movie gets Will Ferrell a Golden Globe nom, Maggie Gyllenhal a Saturn nom, and wins best original screenplay from the National Board of Review, it's a movie that should be well known. But it was only ever shown on around 2300 screens, which for comparison, is about how many screens Infinity War was shown on, on its opening weekend in India.
Night at the Museum , which came out the month after Stranger than Fiction, has a 43/67 on Rotten Tomato, a 48 Metascore and a 6.4 on IMDB. It was the second highest grossing film of 2006, and brought in $250 million domestic, $575 million worldwide. But it had strong studio backing, terrific marketing, and was released on about 3800 screens.
Stranger than Fiction didn't even double it's $35 million budget, worldwide. That's the difference between a film that is supported properly by its studio, and one that is not; which often leads to great films being underrated and/or underappreciated. And by most objective standards of measure, both are true of Stranger than Fiction.
I'm a big fan of Dustin Hoffman too.
0:35 no no no the greatest day as an actor was when you said "who did that to you!? Gator's bitches better be using jimmys"
interview in black and white is cool.....nice
I enjoy Stranger than fiction, but Stranger Than Faction was a super cinematic experience.
Uhhh, huhhh???
It's great to see actors refer to Dustin in such reverential...hushed tones...sort of the Meryl Streep respect....men can have Hollywood icons too....
That's a great anecdote. Could have gone south on that one.
Stranger Than Fiction is a very good movie, it's weird, but so beautifully acted - by both Ferrell and co-stars Emma Thompson & Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Serious Will Ferrell is awesome!
Another more "real" movie of his is Everything Must Go. It is more of a dark comedy...pitch black really! Dealing with alcoholism. But Ferrell is really good in it.
I wish he'd do more dramatic serious stuff.
“I bet 🤤😑,” lol 😂
I never liked Will Farrell 'til I saw that film (Stranger Than Fiction). He's an extraordinary straight actor. I don't like American comedy much (with the exception of Eddie Murphy, and a few others I can't think of off the cuff), but when Ferrell played this part, I just kept thinking 'Why doesn't he do more straight roles?' because he is so good.
Why is it black and white ?
One of the few times the "hilarious" clickbait actually was true.
Will: 'I wish my dad was here today'.
Dustin: 'When did he pass?' Will: Oh no he's still alive!
Dustin: I think this is like that scene Jack Nicholson did in A Few Good Men where he tells Tom Cruise... 'Don't I feel like a fuckin' asshole'.
The movie was great
Will Ferrel acting as Lil Dicky.
Thumbs down for the inaccurate title even though I enjoyed the clip.
wonderful do you ask the intervierees to wear certain colors...love to be interviewed by you very personal an fresh
Ermahgerd
Herlererous
When did he pass?
No, no. He lives in Irvine ...
🤪
Check out everything must go. It’s a movie Ferrell did about a guy getting divorced,it’s not funny but a whole other side of Ferrell.
"Stranger than Faction"?
FYI you spelled the name of the movie wrong in the caption (I know I'm 4 years too late, and you're probably never ever going to even see this comment, but I thought I'd try just in case you get email notifications)
there's no "a" in fiction.
Hilarious? No. Mildly entertaining? Sure. So, thanks for that.
Dead or living in Irvine ?, the difference?.
Jackass. He got me too...
Why the clickbait title? What made me click through was Dustin Hoffman's name. Show more respect for your audience.
Raj John Long John on a spoon, Every Here of Something called a Gary Swanson and SHettlean pony? did you really go OC? Bradley Raymond Turnham
Hilarious? Words have lost all meaning today.
He needs more serious roles.
HA.
The director and producers not wanting to talk to him between takes is like in baseball when you don't talk to a pitcher while he's throwing a no-hitter.
Hilarious may be a bit of a stretch.
Toby Red??? Boo, Boo, Oh, Boo.....
"Hilarious" story??? Yeahhh, I think that might be a bittttttttt overstating things.
You might want to take a look at Louis CK's little bit he did on people referring to things as being "hilarious."
with all due to respect to the video. this is hilarious story?
That was a hilarious story?
Okay, you got me to click on your video. I'm a fan of Will Farrell and a huge fan of Dustin Hoffman. It's possible I would have clicked on this video anyway, just for that reason. But what really got me here was "Will Farrell tells a HILARIOUS story." Cute story, but it's not even remotely hilarious. Not even enough to induce a chuckle. Extremely misleading title. Okay, I've said my piece, and I've also wasted a couple more minutes of my life by writing this, on top of the wasted 2 minutes and 37 seconds waiting for the non-existent hilarity.
pitiful
Well it's an amusing story but not 'hilarious'.
that wasn't hilarious
That was... not hilarious.
This. Was. Not. Funny. Give. Me. My. 2 and ahalf. Minutes. Back
#StrangerThanFiction was vacuous, unfunny, and hugely overrated - like all Will Ferrell's terrible films. LOL.
oh yeah - that was HYSTERICAL.... NOT.
