Resting On Their Laurels: Will Ferrell’s “Nepo Baby” Son Magnus On Going Viral

NAP TIME FOR NEPOLOGY

If you thought Will Ferrell’s son Magnus was going to use his showbiz connections to launch a carefully polished pop career, think again. The 20-year-old “nepo baby” has gone viral after giving what might be the single most disinterested interview in music history.

Appearing on the red carpet to plug his new single Asleep Talking, Magnus looked like he’d rather be anywhere else on God’s green earth. When asked standard-issue questions about his music, the aspiring singer delivered a masterclass in monosyllabic mumbling, blank stares, and total exhaustion—looking less like a popstar in the making and more like a teenager who’d just been dragged out of bed at noon by his famous dad.

The internet, naturally, has fallen in love with the absolute lack of effort, with fans hailing his complete inability to pretend to care as “top-tier nepo baby behaviour.”

If he puts this little energy into his live shows, at least nobody will be able to accuse him of trying too hard.
