(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jessica Alba has recalled how Ben Stiller mocked her serious side in the making of Little Fockers.

The 29-year-old actress is one of Hollywoods most in-demand leading ladies, with her credentials ranging from action movies such as Fantastic Four to gritty dramas including The Killer Inside Me.

Jessicas most recent venture is in the comedy Little Fockers, which is the latest instalment in the Fockers franchise, starring Ben Stiller as a male nurse who continually fails to impress his macho father-in-law played by Robert De Niro.

The talented actress loved embracing her light-hearted side for the movie, as she rarely gets to display her comic talents in movies. That said, Jessica knows she can be serious sometimes, which comedian Ben enjoyed mocking her about. The star didnt mind though, as his teasing just made her chuckle.

I can be tense sometimes and he would just love making fun of my very serious side and that would crack me up. Ben was great, she beamed.

Jessica found working alongside Ben an absolute joy, and appreciated that his humour could be rather sophisticated. The actress plays pharmaceutical expert Andi Garcia in the film and credits Ben as the main reason shooting Little Fockers was so fun.

He can be funny but it's subtle. Ben is a very reflective person although he does have a sarcastic wit. His humour is cerebral and I love his sense of irony, she told The Ticket.

He would always make these very funny observations while we were filming and that kind of actor just makes the atmosphere on the set so easy. (C) Cover Media
