William and wife Kate Middleton's son Prince George, is "growing quite quickly actually. But he's a little fighter. He kind of, he wriggles around quite a lot. And he doesn't want to go to sleep that much, which is a little bit of a problem," the tot's father reports. William—who accompanied his son on his first trip to New Zealand in April 2014—says he sees himself in Prince George. "He's a little bit of a rascal, put it that way," the royal explains.

Stiller (dad to Quinlin and Ella with wife Christine Taylor) isn't just playing a character at work—he'll often take on new personas while telling stories at home.
