Stiller: 'We're sick of Frat Pack tag'

Ben Stiller has claimed that he and his Hollywood friends are tired of the term 'Frat Pack'.

The star, in the UK to promote new movie Tropic Thunder, told Heart FM that the idea of the group is "fabricated" and that it does not exist.

He said: "It's such a weird thing that people come up with a name that doesn't really exist and why does everything have to rhyme all the time? If it rhymes, does it make it real? Is that it?"

Stiller added that he believes the term is "weird" and unnecessary", adding: "But it rhymes, at least there's that, so it must be true, right?"

The Frat Pack is said to include Stiller and fellow comedy actors Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson and Steve Carell.
