Ben Stiller Wishes There Were More Sex in the 'Museum' Ben Stiller was disappointed his monkey co-star didn't have sex in 'Night at the Museum'. The comic actor joked he wanted the family film to be spiced up with some raunchy love scenes.

Ben told E! online: "I wanted to have more sex in 'Night at the Museum' � I wanted to see that monkey get excited!"

The 41-year-old actor loved the freedom of swearing in his new movie 'The Heartbreak Kid' and believes cursing should be common practice. He said: "I hadn't done an R-rated film since 'There's Something About Mary' in 1998, and I'd forgotten how freeing it was. You just censor yourself so much more in PG-13 films - you can only say the F-word twice - what kind of movie it that? I want us to have to say the F-word more and more in life."

Ben is planning to take a break from comedy films after he finishes shooting 'The Hardy Men' with Tom Cruise. A source close to the actor said: "Ben is well aware he is becoming known as a comedic actor, but he knows there is a whole other side to his acting that people haven't seen. He thinks if he does a couple of serious roles, he will be more respected as an actor."
