"That was really fascinating because he came on our set and was exactly the antithesis of what you'd think he'd be," the actor said. "He's such a fan of comedy; he's almost reverential and quiet around us. He stayed for two days, we shot him out immediately and he wanted to hang around the whole time."

Ferrell, 46, added that he was actually impressed with West's multitasking ability.

"He's kind of the most prolific, creative person I've ever been around because while he was offset he was on the phone, talking about a photo shoot, he was writing down music lyrics for another thing. His mind I think is constantly working," he said.

Ferrell closed by saying he would absolutely work with West again if give the opportunity.
