Ben Stiller

The actor who played the moronic but iconic supermodel in Zoolander, the neurotic nerd in the Meet the Parents series, and the unlucky suitor who famously gets his private parts stuck in his zipper in There’s Something About Mary, is said to be unnervingly different in real life.

Not only do those who have met him say he doesn’t have a single funny bone in his body, but they claim he’s egotistical and unreasonable. According to The National Enquirer in 2010, Stiller earned himself the nickname “little focker” on the set of the Meet the Fockers sequel.

The cast and crew noted that he “wasn’t happy unless he was waited on hand and foot.” They claimed he’d throw temper tantrums over little things. He even “screamed at the top of his lungs” that an assistant director should be fired after making a minor mistake, and he refused to go back on set until she was gone.
