Raising three boys is like “running a prison,” the Blades of Glory actor told People a few years back while opening up about fatherhood.
“...I sometimes equate it to what it must be like running a prison,” he told the outlet.
“What happens with three boys is you end up barking out orders like ‘Upstairs now!’, ‘Brush teeth!’, ‘Lights out!’” he continued. “There is so much chaos you can’t really take the time to articulate.”

He also joked about how others might think he is “way too strict” as a father if they saw him parenting his children.
“Those rare moments where I lose my temper and I really become a dad, I often think, ‘Oh, if anyone was a fly on the wall, they’d be like, “Will Ferrell is not a funny father! He’s way too strict.”’”
Some netizens thought it wasn't an embarrassment but a "flex" to be around Will Ferrell's shenanigans
