Much has been made of the similarities between Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chili Peppersdrummer Chad Smith. When someone brought up the resemblance to the actor in a Reddit AMA earlier this week, Ferrell replied,A lot of people think that its me playing for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But that would be an insult to Chad Smith. The truth of the matter is there is no Will Ferrell. Only Chad Smith.

Ive also got some beats that I want to run by you, the actor said. Im warning you now, theyre not good.
