Ben Stiller Answers Fans Questions

People.com recently asked it's readers for questions for Ben Stiller who stars in the upcoming "Night at the Museum". Readers rallied with questions about his family - actress Christine Taylor and kids, Ella, 4, and Quinlan, 16 months. Here's a few of my favs:

What presents will you get your kids this season?
Some diapers for Quin – he definitely uses them and Lord knows we like it when he does. We might get a trampoline for Ella, but I'm going to cut it into eight pieces and give one each night for Hanukkah. That way she will really appreciate it when it finally works.

Who is your favorite costar?
I just worked with my mom [Anne Meara] in Night at the Museum, and my dad [Jerry Stiller] again, and that was really fun. Working with people you love is really special. That's one of the reasons Zoolander was so much fun – to work with Christine, my dad, Owen [Wilson], it all felt like family.

What was the funniest moment of your entire life?
The funniest moments I have had so far have been with my kids. Also, my wife really makes me laugh. We've had some pretty ridiculous moments together that we laugh about years later that I don't think I want to read about in a magazine.

Are you and Owen Wilson best friends in real life? You've been in so many movies together.
We don't see each other all the time, but when we do, it seems like we pick up where we left off. He will periodically e-mail me from some exotic place, doing some cool movie somewhere, asking me if I want to come visit for the weekend. I'm not sure he knows I'm married with kids.

How has your life changed since having your second baby with your wife?
It's really gone into full family gear. There is always someone to watch – especially since our son has just started walking! I can't imagine how you do it with three, four or more kids. It seems like there is a lot more craziness all the time. Definitely less sleep!

What was it like growing up with comics for parents?
I thought it was fun that my folks would stay up late doing shows in nightclubs. It all seemed much more fun and innocent than show business really is, but it was definitely fun.
