Will the Real Will Ferrell Please Start Tweeting?
“There are at least four fake Will Ferrell pages, none of which are actually him.” With these words, Ferrell’s publicist put a halt to the rumors that the comedian is behind several tongue-in-cheek jabs recently aimed at Paramount through Twitter, the popular micro-blogging site.
Ever since the studio put the nix on the planned Anchorman 2 project, certain gems such as “To all who are upset about us not green lighting Anchorman 2, we at Paramount say screw you! We have more reboots to fund instead!” and “To all writers looking to pitch any original movie ideas to us, please submit them to the nearest garbage can in your vicinity,” have surfaced on Twitter. But the rumors that Will Ferrell created them are, we’re told, not true.
According to Ferrell publicist Matt Laboy, “Will Ferrell himself does not have a Twitter page, not does he have anything to do with this Paramount page in any way, shape or form.” According to an interview with Ferrell conducted last year, the actor was scared away from Twitter when fans criticized his Tweets for not being funny enough. If Will Ferrell had created any Tweets to sucker-punch Paramount, he probably would have done it as George W. Bush.
