Will Ferrell's Son Joins 'My Emergency Contact' TikTok Trend With Hilarious Video Of Dad Dancing

Leave it to comedic actor Will Ferrell to show how a ridiculous viral TikTok trend can be even more absurd.

The Old School actor's son, Magnus Ferrell, 20, shared a clip of his dad to participate in the "My Emergency Contact" trend that pokes fun at the person they've selected to be in charge in an emergency.

The trend involves a user sharing a brief clip of said emergency contact, usually a significant other or family member, doing something foolish or bizarre to invoke the question, "Are they really the person to contact in case of an emergency?"

The clips are set to the Hannah Montana song “Ordinary Girl."

Here are some examples, starting with this guy who willingly shoves his head into a thick wall of snow.

Here's another of a very proud foodie.

This dude is making the dogs a little concerned.

And now, Will Ferrell has joined the growing list of the trend's participants, showing that he marches to the beat of his own drum—and his son Magnus made sure the world knows about it.

Magnus posted a video of his dad jamming out, and it went viral with over 1.3 million views on TikTok.

Ferrell is seen wearing a red shirt and baggy dad shorts, strutting back and forth with unbending arms like a mummy while awkwardly thrusting his hips.

The 57-year-old's deadpan expression shows his commitment and that he truly doesn't care who's watching.

Here's the clip.

TikTokers gave Ferrell props for his entry.

Ferrell recently starred alongside Reese Witherspoon in Prime Video's new romantic comedy You’re Cordially Invited.

He also starred in the critically acclaimed documentary Will & Harper, which received rave reviews and was named one of the top five documentary films of 2024 by the National Board of Review.

Sadly, it didn't get an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature this year, which Ferrell jokingly expressed his grievance about on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

But at least he can dance with the best of 'em.
