Will Ferrell's Little Elf

In Elf, he was a big guy among little people. Now Will Ferrell will have to get used to living with the pint-sized set in real-life.

The former Saturday Night Live funny guy and wife Viveca Paulin celebrated the arrival of a bouncing baby boy last weekend, his publicist confirmed Thursday.

Magnus Paulin Ferrell made his Hollywood debut early Sunday, weighing in at 8 pounds, 12 ounces. It's first child for the couple, who married in 2000.

Ferrell, 36, is coming off a breakout year that saw him star in two hugely successful films--the Animal House paean Old School, which grossed $76 million and has spawned a sequel, and the Yule-themed yukfest Elf, which talled $173 million.

Now considered one of Hollywood's go-to wisecrackers, Ferrell got his start as a Not Ready for Prime Time Player on Saturday Night Live from 1995 to 2002, where he goofed on President George W. Bush, Jeopardy's Alex Trebek and pompous film buff James Lipton and created such characters as Craig the Spartan Spirit cheerleader and music-mangling teacher Marty Culp.

Ferrell also played inept baddie Mustafa in the Austin Powers franchise, Bob Woodward in Dick, Jesus in Superstar and the fashion-conscious villain Mugatu in Zoolander. Other credits included A Night at the Roxbury, The Ladies Man and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Ferrell can currently be seen in an unbilled cameo in the just-released spoof Starsky & Hutch. Aside from pulling diaper duty, he'll also keep plenty busy with months to come, with several films on the horizon, including the upcoming summer comedy Anchorman, in which he plays a pompous '70s-era newscaster, and Winter Passing, which will feature him in a dramatic turn.

Then there's the aforementioned Old School sequel, the lead role in the film adapation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Confederacy of Dunces, a turn as Darrin opposite Nicole Kidman's Samantha in the movie version of Bewitched, and one little Magnus will appreciate--the voice of the Man in the Yellow Hat for the CGI adventure Curious George.
