Ben Stillermight be interested in having his kids join him on set one day.

TheZoolanderalum, 58, spoke withE! Newsabout whether he’d work with his kids, Quinlin, 19, and Ella, 22, whom he shares with his longtime wife Christine Taylor. “Both my kids are actors and not really kids anymore,” he said.

“And they’re both really good, so it’d be fun to work with them. I have done a couple of little things with them, but I’d really love to. It’d be really fun.”

Stiller can already see how the film would be set up, joking that he’d “probably” be asking his kids to cast him.

“I think eventually they’ll probably be directing and producing stuff that I’ll be asking them to cast me in,” he shared. “That’s how it goes.”

Ella matched her dad in a black shirt, black sleeveless top and black pants, smiling as the two posed together on the red carpet. She added a pop of color to her look with a pair of green sandal heels.

“YOU WOULDN’T LAST AN HOUR IN THE ASYLUM (@juilliardschool) WHERE THEY RAISED ME,” Ella wrote, referencing track 10 on Swift’s 2024 albumThe Tortured Poets Department(TTPD).

Aside from quoting Swift, Ella said she’s proud to have “survived” Juilliard.

“(No, like, really) Yesterday I got my BFA in Acting from Juilliard,” Ella continued. “I couldn’t be happier to be done or prouder to have survived or more grateful to my family for the unwavering support that got me there and through. I have a degree in playing pretend!!! Yay!!!”
