While Will Ferrell was doing press for his upcoming Apple TV+ holiday movie "Spirited" on "This Morning" in the UK on Tuesday, the star revealed that he likes to keep props from his movies.

In fact, he kept a very memorable one from the set of his classic 2008 comedy "Step Brothers."

"I have some interesting mementos from some of my films, but the most valuable one is from 'Step Brothers' — some testicles!" Ferrell said. "The testicles I put on a drum set. I bring them out for dinner parties. I have a special box I keep them in."

In the Adam McKay-directed comedy that stars Ferrell and John C. Reilly as Brennan and Dale, grown men with no lives who end up being rival stepbrothers, things get to a boiling point between the two when Dale accuses Brennan of touching his precious drum set.

Brennan denies it but is so upset he storms over to the drum set and puts his testicles on them, which leads to a massive fight between the two.

Ferrell will next be seen in "Spirited" opposite Ryan Reynolds, which is a musical version of the Charles Dickens classic "A Christmas Carol."

It will be available on Apple TV+ beginning on Friday.
