Ben Stiller thinks it would be "really fun" to act alongside his children.

The 58-year-old actor has daughter Ella, 22, and son Quinlin, 19, with his wife Christine Taylor, and Ben would relish the opportunity to work with his children one day.

The Hollywood star told E! News: "Both my kids are actors and not really kids anymore. 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 love to. It'd be really fun."

Ben believes his kids will one day work behind the camera, too.

He said: "I think eventually they'll probably be directing and producing stuff that I'll be asking them to cast me in. That's how it goes."

Christine, 53, previously insisted that Ella is following her own dreams in life.

The 'Arrested Development' star - who split from Ben in 2017, before they rekindled their romance - told Us Weekly: "Not that I discouraged, but no, I feel like it came from her.

"She came out of the womb with a mission, and I was never going to get in her way."

Christine explained that Ella got the acting "bug" at an early age - but it's not something she's actively encouraged.

Christine - who has been married to Ben since 2000 - shared: "She is a very strong-minded, strong-willed young lady, and she loves it.

"Obviously she was born into the world, but I think living in New York City, she has been exposed to so many incredible things and shows and so … she has the bug. There's nothing you can do about it, but I did not encourage it."
