That's not Ben Stiller. The real Ben Stiller looks like an orangutan.
“Look So Different,” Ben Stiller, 59, Sparks Heated Controversy with His Latest Appearance
Fans quickly noticed that Ben Stiller looked noticeably different during his recent appearance on The Late Show. While the actor was there to promote his latest project, his appearance became the main talking point, igniting widespread discussion online.


Ben Stiller stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on January 9, 2025, to talk all things Severance, the hit workplace thriller that's gearing up for its highly anticipated second season.
During the interview, the 59-year-old director and executive producer dropped some exciting news: he and star Adam Scott have launched a new Severance rewatch podcast. The podcast invites fans to join the conversation, with Stiller encouraging listeners on Instagram to call in with their questions—some of which might even make it onto the show.


As fans praised the series for its remarkable success, including an impressive 14 Emmy nominations, some shifted their attention to Ben Stiller himself, wondering about the noticeable changes in his appearance and what might have brought them about.
Viewers wasted no time heading to social media to voice their opinions, with reactions spanning from curiosity to concern. Comments ranged from puzzled observations like, “Why does his face look so different?” to humorous takes such as, “Who did his make up? They made him look like Beetlejuice dude.” Some even speculated about possible cosmetic procedures, questioning, "Has he had a bunch of work done? Looks not like Ben Stiller."
Other fans attributed the changes to the passage of time, with remarks like, "Dude, he looks old! I feel like he just turned into an old man," and, "WHY does he look old?" someone echoed. Amid the buzz, however, some viewers voiced deeper concerns. “I feel bad. He looks ill. Something is definitely off,” one commenter observed.
These observations emerge in light of Stiller’s past health challenges; in 2014, at the age of 48, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The actor successfully underwent surgery and has since shared his experience openly, reassuring fans by saying, “I’m doing great... I was really fortunate.”
Meanwhile, Renée Zellweger’s “unrecognizable” appearance has ignited a heated debate among fans and critics alike.
