Will Ferrell‘s son Magnus Ferrell came into this world kicking and screaming.
After all, production on the iconic 2005 sports comedy Kicking & Screaming was temporary halted due to his birth.
“Kicking & Screaming had to be paused during filming because my mom went into labor with me,” Magnus revealed in an exclusive interview with E! News’ The Rundown host Erin Lim Rhodes. “It’s a true story, I swear.”
Joking that he came “out the womb with boots on,” the 22-year-old quipped that’s likely how he fell in love with soccer at a young age.
“I liked Marco Royce for a long time because I looked like him,” he shared. “I really liked [Lionel] Messi. I really liked Xavi [Hernández]. I really liked all the Barcelona players where they had that super fun team and they would just pass the ball around to everybody.”
In fact, Magnus remembers how excited he was as a kid when he was gifted a “full Barcelona kit” from his mom Viveca Paulin, who also shares sons Mattias Ferrell, 19, and Axel Ferrell, 16 with her husband of over 25 years.
