Stiller said his dad was ultra-supportive and often went to see his shows.
He was even supportive when a 16-year-old Ben called him in the middle of a bad acid trip.
“The first and last time,” the comedian told hostJimmy Fallonof taking LSD.
Because every kid calls his parents on LSD, right?"
“I think his first thought was ‘acid he drank battery acid.’
“And the next thing he said was, ‘It’s going to be okay.’
And he started to talk me down, even though he knew nothing about drugs.
He said, ‘I know what you’re feeling.
“No, this is different,” Stiller tried to explain.
“Afterward I said, ‘Dad, what’d you think?’
He wasn’t kidding…it really bothered him.”
“He wasn’t really trying to be funny,” Stiller said.
“He wouldn’t go for a laugh.
He’d just be himself.”
