At some point during every big screen comedian’s career, they’ll eventually take the plunge into more dramatic territory, with the notable exception of Will Ferrell. While former co-stars and contemporaries like Steve Carrell, Jonah Hill and Melissa McCarthy have all picked up Academy Award nominations for serious roles, and his Anchorman director Adam McKay won an Oscar for The Big Short‘s screenplay, Ferrell has, for the most part, remained firmly in his wheelhouse ever since first shooting to success two decades ago.
In fact, you’d have to go back to 2006’s Stranger Than Fiction to find the last time the 53 year-old appeared in a movie that didn’t rely on his usual shtick. That being said, people clearly still enjoy Ferrell’s brand of humor based on how long Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga spent hanging around Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched list when it debuted earlier this year.
