Will Ferrell New baby Son Axel

Longfords distant cousin and Hollywood funny man Will Ferrell has welcomed his son Axel into the world recently. Will is well known for his acting skills but has been found retracing his roots to Longford in recent times. The Lonely Planet may not have too much to say on the exciting side  about longford but i guess holding the ancestory to two big Hollywood actors is not a bad place to start!!

Who is the second Hollywood celebrity who has ancestory linked to Longford? Mel Gibson ( named after the recently burned cathedral in Longford Town).

Congratulations Will.
