The funnyman signed up to 'tweet' but then forgot his password and hasn't revisited the site since, so Stiller was stunned to discover he has been telling the world all about his home life on a recent trip to London.
He explains, "I started doing some interviews in London and journalists started saying, 'Hey, we've been following you on Twitter, we heard about you talking about coming to London and talking about your kids,' and I was like, 'Woah, I'm not on Twitter...'
"They said, 'No, it's you - remember you said you bought sea monkeys for your children?' I didn't... They really were convinced."
Stiller has now learned that if you sign up to Twitter.com, you had better be serious about tweeting: "If you don't claim your identity... then somebody will do it." (WENN/KL/WNVKIM/IG)
