Great to see Ben Stiller in real life is exactly like Ben Stiller in the movies!

[@stretke]

better than ambien

[@coltenbutler7115]

Just like white Goodman

[@coltenbutler7115]

On point

[@beanholder3634]

This is about as "real" as reality TV

[@BusyBasaz]

I've always liked Ben. He's done some great comedies over the years and he seems like a good person.

[@vsquar3d]

His whole Hawaii story sounds like the pitch of his next movie

[@sarahfaith6531]

perfect

[@judy-9999]

Well said. I agree. He delivered his scene very well! 👍❤️

[@llllllolllllllll]

i was about to say the same

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

I thought I was watching a movie when he started talking

[@moonpatrol9717]

yeah, with Hank Azaria as washed up, ex pro tennis coach who wears flip flops on the court. It sounds like an awesome pitch for another typical Ben Stiller movie.

[@eily_b]

I met Ben Stiller when he came to our cinema after a sneak preview. He was very nice but he is as unrelaxed and tense as he is in his movies. :D

[@dreainprogress]

One thing missing in these comments--what the fan is saying. She's speaking in English and Spanish to him, saying, "Oh my God! I need to take a picture and video of you for my kids!" Then she remembers that she has her curlers in her hair. So she has to take them out because there is no way in hell that a Latina mom would ever leave her curlers in for a pic/vid with a famous person who she cherishes so much. She's probably thinking to herself, "Damn it. Out of all the days I could have possibly gotten on the train with my curlers, today is the day that I ran into Ben Stiller! I'm not even wearing my earrings! I should have listened to my mom! *mental facepalm*" Then she stops and looks at him and says in Spanish and then English, "You make me laugh so much! I love you." It makes sense that he would be nervous. But she was so stoked to run into him! :-)

[@kaycie1801]

Ben Stiller is just so genuine and interesting. I could watch an hour of him just having a conversation.

[@andrescampodonico4708]

Ben stiller looks young and old at the same time its so confusing... He could be 35 or 50 at the same time 🤔

[@Heavenzvoice]

Andres Campodonico you nailed it... I couldn’t put my finger on it but that’s it!!!

[@GodWeenSatan]

Facial expressions! When he does that smiling thing it makes him 10 years younger

[@josemondragon7695]

35 is young? Ok BOOMER.

Ben Stiller movies have always been good against anxiety and depression. Quite thankful for that.

When he came for TIFF, i asked him to sign my Rousseau textbook for class. He said "of course, but you know what this means, you get an immediate F". Greatest moment of my life.

[@flightofapaullo72]

As soon as he mentioned tennis, I pictured him looking like John McEnroe with a huge mustache🤣

i am here just searching for a place to leave a mesasge to Ben Stiller. I just wanted to say thanks to him. Thanks for making The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, this is undeniable your very best movie, not only as an actor, but as a director and producer. You really show how big is your talent here! This movie is really a Poem to Life. I love it, i felt in love deeply of this movie, it takes me to tears even just to write this, this shows me how big can the seven art be. Really love all your work, but this movie... really touches your soul somehow.

[@KyloRen4238]

9:47 I listen to this classic rock band called "The Doors." My father listen to them a million times. Me too. My Dad thinks I look similar to *Jim Morrison.* I love The Doors. 💛
