Actress Ella Stiller, 23, the daughter of Christine Taylor and Ben Stiller, is making her off-Broadway debut in the world premiere of the new play Dilaria.

Written by Julia Randall, Dilaria follows the titular character, a privileged young woman who falls into an obsession over the online attention a previous classmate receives after his death. Her manic fixation soon starts to negatively affect the people around her, most notably her best friend (played by Chiara Aurelia) and her romantic interest (played by Christopher Briney).

Stiller explained what drew her to the role in the first place, emphasizing the script’s dedication to an accurate and introspective portrayal of young women.

“This is the exact kind of thing I’ve wanted to do my whole life,” she said. “I’ve always only wanted to do cool, gritty plays written by women and about young women. My whole goal in life, as an artist and a person,...

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has fans far and wide and that includes some celebrities. Like Ben Stiller, who recently revealed that he is a fan of the franchise. Stiller, who directed the hit Apple TV+ series Severance, was doing promotion for the film when he stopped by SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. There, Stiller and host Andy Cohen talked about how Stiller actually really loved the Bravo show. Stiller shared that he got into the show and talked to his daughter, Ella Stiller, about it and has even been told to get into other parts of the franchise.

It was a Stiller family affair.

On Sunday night, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor made an appearance on the red carpet at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival alongside their 21-year-old daughter Ella Stiller.

The family was at the festival for the premiere of the short film “Let Liv”, directed by Erica Rose and written by Olivia Levine, starring Taylor, Levine Rosaline Elbay and more.

“Let Liv” tells the story of a young alcoholic woman who is forced to confront her past when she runs into her estranged mother.

Stiller and Taylor got married in 2000, but split in 2017.

Just a few years later, though, during the pandemic, the couple reconciled.

Appearing on Global’s “The Drew Barrymore Show” in March, Taylor opened up about her marriage.

Despite the controversy surrounding the film, Ben Stiller is still “proud” of “Tropic Thunder”.

The 2008 action comedy features Robert Downey Jr. as Australian method actor Kirk Lazarus. Kirk undergoes “pigmentation alteration” surgery to play the role of a black man in a movie.

Critics have heavily scrutinized the use of Downey’s blackface in the film despite the actor earning a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Oscars for the role.

Stiller’s character in the film has also attracted a myriad of controversies. His character in the movie, Tugg Speedman, plays the role of Simple Jack, who is meant to be a satire of actors who chase critical acclaim by playing disabled roles.

A fan took to Twitter on Feb. 21, where they asked Stiller to “stop apologizing for the film.”

I make no apologies for Tropic Thunder.

Ben Stiller brought his 20-year-old daughter, Ella Olivia Stiller, as his date for the 2022 Emmy Awards on Monday night.

The duo walked the red carpet together. Ben is nominated for outstanding directing for a drama series for his work on the Apple TV+ show Severance. He shared last month that his kids are big supporters for him as the first test screening.

Ben shares daughter Ella, 20, and son Quinlin, 17, with wife Christine Taylor. He revealed earlier this year that his eldest child didn’t feel her parents were fully present while she was growing up.

“It’s me not being there in the ways I saw my parents not being there,” said Ben. “I had always thought, ‘Well, I won’t do that.'”

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the family has gotten a lot closer, especially since Ben and Taylor rekindled their relationship four years after separating.

Ben Stiller had one of the most special dates at the 2022 Emmys: his daughter, Ella Stiller!

The “Severance” executive producer stepped out on the gold carpet outside the Microsoft Theatre on Monday, looking dapper in a classic tuxedo. By his side was his and wife Christine Taylor’s firstborn, coordinating with her dad in a black gown. The couple are also parents to 17-year-old son Quinlin.

While the 20-year-old actress has accompanied her father on various red carpets over the years, this marks the first time she’s joined Ben at the Emmys.

Fortunately for the father, daughter and “Severance” fans, it’s shaping up to be a special night for the Apple TV+ series. The show is nominated in seven categories, including for Outstanding Drama Series as well as an Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series nod for Ben.

Ben and Ella Stiller turned the 2022 Emmys into a family date night. The actor and his 20-year-old daughter attended the award show on Sept. 12, walking the red carpet together before heading into the ceremony at Microsoft Theater. They subtly coordinated outfits for the big night out, with Ben sporting a classic tuxedo and Ella wearing a black strapless gown featuring a prominent leg slit. With her blond hair color and wispy bangs, Ella looked so much like her mom, Christine Taylor, circa the early 2000s - the resemblance was hard to miss.

Ben's work on Apple TV+'s "Severance" earned him an Emmy nomination for outstanding directing for a drama series this year, up against "Ozark" director Jason Bateman and "Squid Game" director Hwang Dong-hyuk, among others. During a red carpet interview with E! News, he addressed the possibility of starring on the show, saying, "I don't know. I love directing it.

The biggest stars of the small screen are arriving at the 2022 Emmy Awards, dressed in their awards show best. The casts of ‘Succession’ and ‘Ted Lasso’ are heading into the night with the most nominations, with freshman shows like ‘The White Lotus’ and ‘Abbott Elementary’ also predicted to win big. Kenan Thompson is set to host tonight’s ceremony.
