Meet Will Ferrell’s Children: Magnus Paulin Ferrell, Mattias Paulin Ferrell, and Axel Paulin Ferrell

Will Ferrell was born on July 16, 1967, in Irvine, California, now 58 years old, the Anchorman, Elf, and Step Brothers star has been married to Swedish actress and auctioneer Viveca Paulin since August 26, 2000.

The couple met in the late 1990s and built a grounded family in Los Angeles, emphasizing privacy, fun traditions (like annual Elf viewings), and support.

All three sons share Scandinavian-inspired names (reflecting Viveca’s heritage), mixed Swedish-American ethnicity, and a playful dynamic with their dad frequently pranking him or recreating scenes from his films.

Religion is not prominently public, though the family keeps a low-key, supportive household.

Magnus Paulin Ferrell

Magnus Paulin Ferrell, the eldest son, was born March 7, 2004, in the United States (likely California). Now 22 years old, he has pursued music and creative endeavors, blending jazz-piano with pop and R&B influences in solo projects (available on platforms like Spotify).

He previously studied at the University of Southern California (USC, his dad’s alma mater), where Will famously DJ’d a fraternity party during family weekend.

Magnus has dabbled in acting/directing, appearing in cameos like Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) and You’re Cordially Invited (2025).

He left college to focus on music full-time around 2025. Height is not publicly detailed, but he’s often seen towering in family photos. No known marriage or children; dating history remains private.

Magnus shares his dad’s sense of humor, pulling pranks and posting fun content, while maintaining close family bonds — he’s appeared at premieres like Barbie (2023) and holiday events.

Mattias Paulin Ferrell

Mattias Paulin Ferrell, the middle son, was born December 30, 2006, in the United States. Now 19 years old, he keeps a relatively low profile but has shown creative flair, including minor acting credits like Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) and recent projects such as A Very Jonas Christmas Movie (2025).

He often collaborates with brothers on humorous videos, like recreating the Elf shower-singing scene in late 2025.

Mattias has been spotted at family outings and events, sometimes towering over his 6’2″ dad in photos.

No public details on height beyond family appearances, profession beyond occasional entertainment involvement, marriage, children, or dating he prioritizes privacy.

Known for his wit and close sibling ties, he joins in family traditions and supports his dad’s career.

Axel Paulin Ferrell

Axel Paulin Ferrell, the youngest, was born January 23, 2010, in Los Angeles, California. Now 16 years old, he remains the most shielded from the spotlight, focusing on typical teen life like school and family time.

He has appeared at events such as Barbie premieres and basketball games with his dad, but no acting or public pursuits are noted yet.

The family enjoys sports (soccer runs in the lineage), and Axel is often described in affectionate posts.

No height, dating, marriage, or children details public as a teenager, his life centers on home and family. He shares the brothers’ playful energy, participating in holiday fun and sibling antics.
