Stiller told PEOPLE, “We like to hang out as a family. We play tennis together a lot, which is fun.”

The 57-year-old went on to say, “We just like to hang out. We really do enjoy hanging out as a family. Watching movies, playing silly tennis.”

‘It’s really fun’

‘The Wedding Singer’ actress continued to share, “We also play a lot of the game Celebrity. It's really a fun one. You don't need a board, you just need some paper and you write down names.”

Stiller then added, “We all get into it! We all get a little edgy for sure, but it’s really fun. 

“The joke is it’s called Celebrity but nine times out of ten, there’s someone in there that’s just a family member! Or the dogs!”

‘Tough critic in a good way’

Stiller and Taylor also spoke about their work and their children, which also included their 21-year-old daughter Ella Olivia Stiller.

The ‘Night at the Museum’ actor disclosed, “I think they're both tough critics! But in a good way.”

“Tough critic in a good way because he is very discerning. So it's fun to watch movies and see what he likes and what he doesn't like,” he noted.
