Who's Jack Ferber?

Is this someone out of a kid's movie/book?

DS(4) keeps talking about Jack Ferber which is quite sweet, I'm just wondering if he's completely made it up or heard it somewhere?

He'll run around the house pretending it's a race saying "here comes Jack Ferber, he's overtaking everyone, Jack Ferber wins!" Or "when I'm bigger I'll play football and Jack Ferber will be on my team"

A quick Google didn't bring up anything kid-related but who knows!

I've never come across him - as you say, Google doesn't throw up anything obvious @JackFerber .

The only conjunction of 'Jack' and 'Ferber' I can think of in popular culture is in the film 'Meet the Fockers' where Jack senior is using 'The Ferber Method' (of baby training) on baby Jack Junior. 'Ferber' and 'Jack' are named in the same phrase on multiple occasions (everyone else is determined to ignore the Ferber method and make a fuss of baby Jack).

Has your DS watched 'Meet the Fockers' at all?

Thank you @PlaitBilledDuckyPuss he hasn't seen it but perhaps one of his friends has. He seems to know a lot about things that's he's never encountered at home since he started school!

Otherwise it seems likely he's made it up, what a cool name he's picked :D
