...despite a $29 million payday.

Ferrell was on the cover of the Hollywood Magazine this week where he was interviewed about the success of the 2003 film…which was a box office hit grossing $220 million worldwide…that’s when he revealed a sequel was being planned. The script has even been written but when he was offered the role he turned it down…despite a $29 million payday.
