Adam Mckay,ย who founded Funny or Die with Will Ferrel andย Chris Henchy in 2007, quietly stepped down from the company earlier this year, Vulture reported Friday.
In a statement provided to Vulture, McKay said his decision was prompted by a wish to focus on person projects. But he also hinted that disagreements over recent business also played a role.
“Lately, I’ve found myself increasingly drawn to stories and projects that mean a lot to me — big money, corporate entanglements and global warming. Given Funny Or Die is driven by ad revenues, I felt the time had come for me to step down,” McKay told Vulture.
