Will Ferrell would like to clear up one misconception: Though he does bare his butt in his new film, the Spanish comedy "Casa de mi Padre" ("House of My Father"), he is not a exhibitionist.
"Let's set the record straight," Ferrell said. "The only other time (he showed it) is 'Old School.' That said, it's a fine-looking butt, a comedy butt — and that's the most ridiculous way to make fun of a lovemaking scene. What if that dissolves for no reason and I'm rolling around with a mannequin?
"On a deeper level, we're so body-image conscious. On 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' they all have plastic surgery. Why not show we all have normal-looking bodies in different shapes and sizes? And why not show that it's OK?"
Ferrell plays Armando, the good son of a Mexican rancher who is caught up in a swirl of familial dishonor, drug-dealing villains and passionate, butt-baring embraces in a comedy spoken in Spanish.
Ferrell learned his script phonetically to speak a formal, old-fashioned Spanish.
He said he's had the idea "for the longest time."
"We've all stopped and watched a telenovela for a little while," he said of the Spanish language soap operas that command worldwide audiences. "Who didn't think, 'Wow! That's really over the top.' "
