Will Ferrell said his kids are 'surprised he's still in the game' when asked about their reaction to the TikTok.
Elsewhere in the interview with the Legally Blonde alum and SNL star, the journalist asked how it was for the pair to finally work side-by-side.
Ferrell gushed over the “great” experience, adding he had no explanation as to why they didn’t do it sooner.
The blonde beauty chimed in, “We met 22 years ago, and then 22 short years later, we decided to make a film together,” to which the Elf lead replied, “It was well worth the wait.”

'Us? Messy?? Wait until you see our movie…' Reese Witherspoon captioned the clip of herself and Will Ferrell.
When asked if she injected any of herself into the character as a founder of her own production company, Hello Sunshine, Witherspoon noted, “It was fun. We had so much fun. Nick Stoller is such a great writer and he would always think of funny stuff and just shout it out on set.”
Ferrell noted he's not like his character when it comes to his parenting style.
“I’m not as OCD as my character Jim. I’m invested in my kids’ lives but not on the level that Jim is,” he said.
