The actor/comedian and his wife, Swedish actress and producer Viveca Paulin, named their new arrival Mattias. Ferrell's spokesperson says Mattias was born just after 2 a.m. on Dec. 30.

Ferrell, 39, and Paulin, 37, were married in 2000. Their first son, Magnus, will turn three in March.

Other recent screen credits include "Curious George" and "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."
