Ben Stiller doesn't think he is funny.
The actor - who has starred in several hit comedy movies, including 'Meet the Parents' and 'Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story' - admits he is more amusing on screen than in person.
He said: "I don't think I'm super-funny. I'm not the type of guy who goes around cracking jokes a lot. I'm probably not that funny in person. I am much more comfortable just making a movie.
"I love to laugh but I've never enjoyed having to be the guy who's funny because it's a lot of pressure."
Ben also revealed his two-year-old son Quinlin - his second child with wife Christine Taylor - is still too young to realise daddy is a movie star.
He explained: "Quinlin is so young - he's not even three yet - so he doesn't see too much. He has seen a little bit of 'Night At The Museum' and he seems to accept that I'm the guy in the movie.
"My daughter Ella is almost six and she just accepts it. But I don't think it's a normal thing. I'm sure every parent who is famous finds it hard to explain it to their kids."
