Ben Stiller embraces mature look in his fifties with grey hair as actor finally ages

Ben Stiller has embraced a mature look in recent years, with the comedian rocking the silver fox look.

The actor, 56, has typically had dark hair throughout his career, though has opted for a lighter tone more recently, showcasing his new style whilst in New York City this week.

He was photographed sporting grey hair, whilst wearing a navy top, a dark jacket and jeans after meeting with pal Bob Odenkirk, 59 - best known for his role on Better Call Saul.

It's understood that the Meet the Parents actor was carrying an advance copy of Comedy, Comedy, Comedy, Drama - a memoir written by Odenkirk, that is released this month.

He had revealed at the Golden Globes last year that he had dyed his hair grey during the Covid-19 pandemic, with him having made a joke about this at the awards event.

It was during lockdown that he rekindled his relationship with estranged wife Christine Taylor, 50, who he had been separated from for several years prior to the pandemic.

The couple, who got married in 2000, announced their shock split in 2017, with Stiller having left the family home following their separation - though he's since returned.

During an interview with Esquire last month, Stiller said he moved back into the home during the pandemic to be closer to their kids; Ella Stiller, 19, and Quinlin Stiller, 16.

The decision "unexpectedly" benefited his marriage though, with Stiller and Taylor - who played Marcia Brady in the Brady Bunch films - having since got back together.

Discussing returning to the family home, he said that "over the course of time" the estranged pair grew closer, with him adding: "We were separated and got back together."
