I have been telling you for years that this A list mostly movie comic actor is not the nice guy he seems.

Don’t you find it interesting the number of actors and directors that never want to work with him again.

It is one of the reasons why there has never been a sequel to a holiday favorite.

A script has been ready for years.

Why Will Ferrell cut off ‘Anchorman’ director Adam McKay: He ‘f – – ked up’

Friends no more.

“Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” director Adam McKay addressed for the first time the end of his partnership with actor Will Ferrell.

The pair of funnymen created the comedy video site “Funny or Die” and founded the company Gary Sanchez Productions. But seemingly out of the blue, the once dynamic duo announced they were ending their working relationship in 2019.

“The two of us will always work together creatively and always be friends. And we recognize we are lucky as hell to end this venture as such,” they said in a statement at the time.

McKay, now 53, explained in a new Vanity Fair profile what went down between him and his “Step Brothers” writing partner, 54.

“I’ve learned some lessons. It’s always hard feelings,” McKay said. The filmmaker and Ferrell discussed dissolving their production company, and when McKay decided to recast the role of LA Lakers’ former team owner Jerry Buss for an HBO series, that’s when stuff hit the fan. The “Don’t Look Up” director opted to cast John C. Reilly, Ferrell’s co-star in “Step Brothers,” instead of Ferrell for the coveted part.

“The truth is, the way the show was always going to be done, it’s hyperrealistic. And Ferrell just doesn’t look like Jerry Buss, and he’s not that vibe of a Jerry Buss. And there were some people involved who were like, ‘We love Ferrell, he’s a genius, but we can’t see him doing it.’ It was a bit of a hard discussion,” McKay told the publication. – Source
