Will Ferrell lost his virginity at the age of 21.

The 44-year-old actor - who now has three sons with wife Viveca Paulin - first became intimate with a woman during his junior year of college, and admitted the experience felt like 'the way it was supposed to happen'.

He said: 'In my mind's eye, it seemed like the way it was supposed to happen.'

However, the 'Anchorman' actor explained his mother thought he had lost his virginity during his high school years to a girl who was particularly popular with his male classmates.

Speaking in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he added: 'She said, 'If you slept with this girl, you'd better slap a condom on that pecker of yours'.'

Will's college years in the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at the University of Southern California also saw him strip off on a number of occasions to impress his fellow classmates.

He said: 'In college, they had this thing where you'd run naked on fraternity row, and if anyone challenged me, I'd be happy to do it.'
