Drinks Laughing Clown Malt LiquorG.Q. has redeemed itself in my book. Jayson Gay wrote a hilariously standardized celebrity profile and allowed Will Ferrell to fill in the blanks. Not only are the filled in bits funny, but the structure and direction of the profile is fantastic. I hope I'm not praising something that has been done before - but what a great shot to take at this type of profile writing.

“Let’s eat some breakfast!” Ferrell announces. He calls out to his loyal assistant, who is sleeping under a hibiscus tree. “Captain Greg! Captain Greg!” he cries. A few minutes later, we’re surrounded by a feast of lobster, mango, and chili. Ferrell inhales a bite.

“Mmmmmm!” he says. “You like this recipe? Jan-Michael Vincent gave it to me on the set of Knight Hawk 4. Fantastic!”

There are many things I want to ask Ferrell about. For starters, there are his upcoming movies, the first of which is the summer NASCAR comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (originally titled Speed Kills: The Ballad of Bobby Ricky). The second is Stranger Than Fiction, a quirky, cerebral film directed by the extremely Swiss Marc Forster and costarring Dustin Hoffman, whom Ferrell now affectionately calls Hambone. - Jason Gay and Will Ferrell doing the underlined bits.

 Unfortunately you have to by the magazine to read the whole thing.
