Ben Stiller proves he's a kid at heart as he models blonde wig and school uniform for Jimmy Fallon sketch... after discussing being three-years cancer free
He appeared on American television where he discussed being cancer free for three years on Wednesday morning.
And Ben Stiller, 51, proved he's still a kid at heart when he appeared on The Tonight Show to promote his latest film Brad’s Wish.
He and host Jimmy wore a blonde wig and a high school uniform for a sketch in which they and actor Fred Armisen pretended to have both starred in a 90’s TV show called Speak for Yourself.

STILL down with the kids: Ben Stiller 51, appeared on The Tonight Show to promote his latest film Brad’s Wish, where he dressed up like a schoolboy and wore a ridiculous wig
Recreating an imaginary show that the duo pretended to have starred in together ‘back in the 90’s’, all three of the men donned ridiculous costumes while imitating ‘High school seniors’ at the fictional 'Hinsdale High'.
As part of the routine, both men lip synced each other’s lines, pretending to blame the show’s temperamental Italian director, Giovanni Puccini, who they claimed preferred that the actors swap voices for their scenes.
Ramping up the 90’s styles the actor donned a Letterman jacket and flicked his fake blond fringe sulkily imitating a teenager.
Throwback: Ben emphasised all of the over-exaggerated performances of the 90s as he delivers his fake-catchphrase, yelling: 'Say what?!'
In three scenes Stiller's character, who's called Reggie, fights with Fallon's over the affections of their mutual love interest, Jessica Pinkus.
Still dubbing each other's lines they both pretended to perform childish love poetry or songs they'd written.
Former Saturday Night Live comedian, Fred, dragged up with a long blonde wig to join them as the high school girl who the men were warring over.
