Will Ferrell did his part to smash the “patriarchy” in 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “Elf” alum played the head of Mattel in “Barbie,” the year’s box office champion and a nonstop feminist screed.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ferrell played along<\/a> with the comedy’s messaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a loving homage to the brand and, at the same time, couldn\u2019t be more satirical \u2014 just an amazing comment on male patriarchy and women in society and why Barbie\u2019s criticized and yet why every little girl still wants to play with Barbie. Boy, when I read it, I was like, \u2018This is fantastic.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

He later cheered the film’s potential impact on society<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“When I walked onto those sets and saw that Mattel was actually letting this happen, I thought ‘Oh my gosh, this could have a real chance to be one of those zeitgeist things that has a real cultural statement.’”<\/p>\n

It’s an odd take from an actor renowned for playing one man-child after another on the big screen, from “Old School” to “Step Brothers.” Both movies likely couldn’t be made in today’s work world.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Ferrell snagged a spot at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Gala. He used his podium time to channel his inner feminist.<\/p>\n
