GQ has named Will Ferrell one of its ‘Men of the Year’. Rather than interviewing or profiling him for this ‘honour’, they have opted to solicit and post quotations from those who have worked with him. Many, many of the (false) and zany comments are funny and should be read. Go. Go read it now!

“Will Ferrell is the only guy I know who eats waffle cones right out of the box. I’ve seen him eat twenty, unbuckle his belt, then eat twenty more. I really admire him for that.”—Conan O’Brien

“Will made a pass at me while filming Elf. I was just shocked and not sure whether it was for real or the elf being crazy about Papa Santa. I decided not to do anything, because Will is so damn big and I was afraid he would beat the crap out of me.”—Ed Asner, costar, Elf

“He auditioned to become a member of the Irish boy band Boyzone but was turned down.”—Paul Rudd
