Will Ferrell Wants To Play Simon Cowell In A Movie
LOLs!
Will Ferrell has revealed his dream role — to play the lead part in a Simon Cowell biopic!
"He's become a legend in five years," Ferrell explains. "Nobody knew who he was five years ago and now he's one of the most famous people on TV.
Ferrell thinks he'll make an awesome Cowell because of his experience playing everyone's favorite anchorman from San Diego, Ron Burgundy:
"It wouldn't be that hard for me to play him because I see a lot of Ron Burgundy in Simon Cowell. Like Simon, Ron was the biggest thing on TV, loved himself - they are like long-lost twin brothers separated at birth.
"It would be fun getting into character as well. I would walk along the street and say, 'Hey, you're too fat to be a star,' or go to a concert and shout out to the artist, 'Never gonna happen.'"
What do you say, Simon? Will even has a good idea about how to get into character:
"Come on, Simon. You know it would be fun. I could spend some time shadowing you. We could spend time in your mansion in high trousers and black, round-neck tees just being rude to people, it would be great."
Simon actually has a pretty good sense of humor — we could kinda see this happening! Just not sure anyone would want to watch.
What do U think of Will Ferrell's idea?

I don't know. I don't think he's all that.
I liked Will Ferrell in Elf, but that's it.
that'd be pretty funny
useless!
I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT. I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE WILL DO JIM MORRISON. I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY FUNNY.
Love Will Farrell. Love Simon Cowell. Love to see it. It would be funny.
Merde
I love everything Will Ferrell does. I think it would be good.
id watch
Will Ferrell is not nearly as funny as he thinks he is and he would make a terrible Simon Cowell. Physically he bears absolutely no resemblance, and as an 'actor' there is no way he cold pull it off in a serious manner.
this is so old news this was in our papers like 3 days ago… and even then its pretty boring. we know all about Simon and his quest for fame and fortune its on tv all the time do we really need a film. i think not
i would totally watch hahahahaha
Will has bigger problems to deal with right now. A good bounce back from Land of the Lost. I looked it up an Anchorman was not nearly the failure I thought it was.
In any case i think Will's tongue was firmly planted in this cheek when he made these remarks.
Re: gogirl1 – you like everything he does, because it's all the same.
Re: minimilanocookie – wait i take that back, stranger than fiction was pretty different
I THINK…..
Will Ferrell is OUT OF IDEAS….that explains this ridiculousness.
NO TALENT DOUCHE
I wouldn't let Will Ferrell smell where I shit. He has no talent outside o acting like a moron. Stay with what you do well. Simon Cowell should be insulted. Will Ferrell. Simon is famous and a legend. Your career however is ober. This not SNL and you are a has been.
yall are HATERZZZZ I think Will is HILARIOUS. I love love love him in SNL skit "more cow bells" whos with me??? LOL
Will Ferrell is awesome in small doses, but his starring roles .. blah
Do it!!!!
I would totally go and see it! I adore Will Ferrell!
I would be the first one to see it, I Love the majority of Will Ferrell's work, and Anchorman was the best movie ever, used to watch it all the time in the army.
