I bet you recognize Kristen Wiig (left) -- in spite of the aging makeup job she's donning to make her look like an elderly woman.

But who is that to her left? Believe it or not it's Ben Stiller. Wearing a mask of wrinkles and age spots, glasses, and silver hair with a receding hair line, Stiller is simply unrecognizable.


While also wrinkled, Wiig, 38, can still be deciphered as she wears an emerald over coat and matching hat.

Both comedic actors were spotted on the set of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" as they filmed in New York on Wednesday. Stiller, 46, is also directing the film, about a shy and imaginative photo editor who is forced out of his daydreams and into a real-life adventure when a negative winds up missing.


"The Secret Life," due in theaters next year, is a remake of a 1947 film of the same name, which starred Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo. And from the look of the wardrobe style on set, the remake will also be set in the '40s. (The story originally spawned from a short story by James Thurber.)

The new "Secret Life" also stars Shirley MacLaine, Patton Oswalt, Adam Scott and Kathryn Hahn.

They're tough. They're mean. They're very experienced.

The cast of "The Expendables 2" -- jam packed with action stars young and old (but mostly old) -- represents a fierce onslaught of action film skill so seasoned, we had to break it down to you by the numbers:

• The 11 leading men in the sequel have a combined age of 569, but by the time the movie comes out August 17, it will be 573. (Sylvester Stallone, Terry Crews, Randy Couture and Arnold Schwarzenegger all have birthdays between now and the film's release.)
• To put it in perspective, it was 1439 (A.D.) 573 years ago -- the year kissing was banned in England to prevent the spread of the plague. (To be fair, this occurred long after the wheel was invented thousands of years prior.)
• The average age of the cast is 52 and the median age is possessed by Jean Claude Van Damme -- 51.
• Judging by age alone, Jason Statham, 44, is two Liam Hemsworths (who is 22 years old), while Sylvester Stallone will be three Hemsworths on July 6th when he turns 66.
• By the time "Expendables 2" opens, three cast members will be eligible for social security: Chuck Norris, Stallone and Schwarzenegger.
• Aging in at 72, the oldest cast member -- as we established in a prior post -- is roundhouse kick specialist Norris. That makes him almost an entire Van Damme older than Liam Hemsworth.
