The One Person Who Makes Will Ferrell Laugh the Most

Ойын-сауық

Will Ferrell, the star of the new musical ‘Spirited,' reveals what he’s learned as a parent, the most extreme thing he’s done for a role and the phone call that changed his life.
Directed by Barbara Anastacio
In “The One,” WSJ. Magazine talks to tastemakers and creators about “the one” secret to their success-the one mentor they lean on in a crisis, the one habit they wish they could break, the one call that changed their lives forever. From actor Nicole Kidman to “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, iconic cultural figures open up to WSJ.
