Ben Stiller is in the UK promoting his new comedy Tropic Thunder.

His visit to the capital comes after the film's Germany premiere in Berlin.

Stiller enlisted the help of comedian colleague Jack Black to appear alongside him, with the all-star cast completed by Robert Downey Jr.

The movie sees the stars play a group of self-absorbed Hollywood actors caught up in a real-life battle with narco-terrorists while filming a war movie in Southeast Asia.

Tropic Thunder opens in cinemas across the UK on September 18 and features cameos from Tom Cruise and Owen Wilson.

The film commanded the number one spot at North American box offices for the second straight week, narrowly conquering sorority-themed college romp House Bunny.
