Ben Stiller

The 'Zoolander' actor told the world he had been living with prostate cancer, but only after he had been given the all-clear.

In a 2016 appearance on 'The Howard Stern Show', Stiller, 57, urged male listeners to undergo early screening tests for prostate cancer.

He said: “The PSA test is the only early screener for prostate cancer and, right now, the United States Preventative Services Task Force does not recommend to take the test. I think American Cancer Society says you should discuss it at 50. If I hadn't taken the test - my doctor started giving it to me at 46 - I would not have known. Right now, I still wouldn't have known."

Stiller underwent a robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy to remove the cancer.
