Will Ferrell bigger than Jesus, eh, Tom Cruise…
February 15, 2008
“Remind Ferrell of the fact that his $20m-a-movie salary places him leagues above Tom Cruise who – while earning fractionally more per picture, actually works far less – he feigns shock: “I am? Really?! I love it! I’m going to print up T-shirts that say that!” Suddenly serious, he says: “But I don’t think about it a lot. When you’re in the midst of something like this – for me – there’s no air of cockiness. Ever. I know the nature of comedy, and you never know what will happen with the next movie or whether people will find it funny. Maybe audiences enjoy the fact that I’m committed to these characters, and I never really wink at what we’re doing.”
