Recently, Ben Stiller joined Stephen Colbert on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote his latest project, which is a podcast dedicated to the Emmy Award-winning series Severance. Alongside his co-host, Adam Scott, Stiller has been revisiting episodes of the first season while fans eagerly await the new season’s release.
The podcast released its first episode on January 6, offering listeners an inside look into Severance, complete with fan questions and insights. It even includes a hotline for audience participation, and though fans were buzzing with excitement about Severance and the upcoming season of the series, they could not help but notice a change in Stiller’s appearance.

Stiller’s supporters could not hold back their thoughts of how different his face looked on The Late Show. Some critics speculated that the actor may have undergone cosmetic procedures, with some saying he looks nothing like his former self.
Another concerned person fueled the conversation, claiming that his appearance was so altered it seemed as though he was wearing a mask. “Look at the ears—this is so obviously a mask,” someone critiqued, while another gave a more thoughtful response, saying they feel bad because he also looks ill. “Something is definitely off,” they added.
Ben Stiller had serious health issues
Ben was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014, and being 48 at the time, he later said it was a condition that was uncommon for someone of that age. Stiller reflected on his experience years later, expressing his gratitude for being cancer-free and sharing how his journey had shaped his perspective on life.
During his treatment, Stiller chose to undergo prostate removal surgery after consulting medical professionals about his options. He expressed relief that his treatment had been straightforward, stating that he was really fortunate that his course of treatment was basically an operation, and that was it.
