In 1998, writer and director duo Peter and Bobby Farrelly unleashed 'There's Something About Mary' on the world and the film became an instant comedy classic. The film follows Ted (Ben Stiller), a former high school loser who seeks out his dream girl (Cameron Diaz) for a second chance. 15 years later, we take a look back at the cast and see what they're up to now.

Then: The studio was initially reluctant to let the Farrelly brothers cast Ben Stiller, so the brothers chose a then-unknown Owen Wilson. When the studio was even more reluctant to cast Wilson, they let them go ahead with Stiller.

Now: Stiller can be seen next in the adaptation of 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,' which he also directed, and is currently working on a sequel to his cult comedy hit 'Zoolander.' He's married to actress Christine Taylor, and runs his own production shingle, Red Hour Ben, which produces the web series 'Burning Love.'

Cameron Diaz, Mary
