Tom Cruise says Ben Stiller is his inspiration.
Tom, who has a cameo as a fat balding studio executive in Ben's new comedy 'Tropic Thunder', loved working with the comic star and has praised his achievements in Hollywood.
He said: "One can't fully appreciate what Ben has accomplished in acting, writing, directing, producing, and starring in a film like 'Tropic Thunder' without recognising that any single one of these functions alone is a full-time job."
Tom, who worked with Ben on 2000 mockumentary 'Mission: Improbable', has also revealed he didn't hesitate at the chance to team up with him again after Ben described the movie as his "dream project".
The 46-year-old 'Top Gun' star added to Men's Vogue magazine: "To make a long story short, I read it, I loved it, and we started working on it."
Meanwhile, Ben has praised Tom's comic timing in 'Tropic Thunder' and insists he was prepared to do anything to raise a laugh.
Ben said: "He said, 'I want really big hands playing this guy.' I said, 'Really? Big hands?' He had these hands made, and then I said, 'Well, it'd be really cool if you were bald too.' Then we did this make-up test where he got bald.
