On Thursday, Sept. 19, the actor and comedian, 57, made an appearance at the Egyptian Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles to promote his new documentary Will & Harper — and two of his sons — Magnus 20, and Mattias, 17, tagged along.
While Will was giving an interview, Magnus and Mattias both noticed that tails of their dad's jacket were still stitched together and they ducked down behind him to try to separate the tails. Eventually, they came back with a pair of scissors to cut them apart.
In a hilarious video shared to The Hollywood Reporter's TikTok page, the younger Ferrells can be seen running up behind their dad as he stands next to his co-star Harper Steele. Together they pulled at and lifted up the back of their dad's navy blue suit jacket, where the loose threads were still hanging. The Step Brothers actor can be heard jokingly saying that his kids were acting like "primates" and posed so they could finally fix his suit.
Also in attendance was the actor's wife Viveca Paulin. The couple — who have been married since 2000 — also share a 14-year-old son named Axel, who was not present at the premiere.
The whole family posed together for some rare photos, and Will could be seen wearing the navy blue suit, light blue shirt and blue tie — as well as a printed pocket square to accessorize the look. Mattias kept things business-casual as he wore a navy button-down and blue slacks, and Magnus wore a white shirt and an open blazer, along with a brown belt and gold chain necklace.
