Comedy actor Ben Stiller claims that laughter is the secret ingredient for a successful relationship/marriage. The 44-year-old star admits his relationship with wife of nine years Christine Taylor works because they share a great sense of humor and he loves to make her laugh.
“For me, laughter is such a huge part of a relationship,” he said. “My wife has a great sense of humor. What I like is to try to make her laugh. Sometimes she laughs at things that I take too seriously, which I find helpful in keeping me grounded. I used to be a workaholic, but now I’m happy at home. For the first time I’m beginning to feel grown up.”
Ben also said he has been working for some time on the sequel to comedy movie Zoolander because he wants to make sure the follow-up is as funny as the first film. “We’ve been working on it on and off over the last six or seven years,” he said. “The biggest hurdle for me personally was that Drake Sather, who created the character, passed away. He was a good friend and the lump for me was it’s hard to imagine doing it without him… I want to be able to do something that lives up to the first one. That’s the challenge.”
