Bouncing Baby Boy For Will Ferrell

(CBS/AP)  It's a boy, again, for Will Ferrell, the actor's publicist confirmed to The ShowBuzz Tuesday.

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.

The tall and gangly Ferrell, who shot to fame on Saturday Night Live and in the Christmas movie "Elf," earned a Golden Globe nomination last month for his star turn in the film "Stranger than Fiction." Other recent screen credits include "Curious George" and "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."

He might have the look but he can't act. Playing an idiot in comedies is not acting.

"Incurious George" might be a good title.

Will Ferrell was born to play the role of George W. Bush in the inevitable cinema docudrama.
