Hollywood actor Ben Stiller regrets raising his children in Los Angeles - because they've missed out on the excitement of living in his native New York.

The 42-year-old star shares two children, Ella Olivia, six, and Quinlin Dempsey, three, with his wife, actress Christine Taylor. And Stiller admits he often finds himself reminiscing about the dangers of growing up in the Big Apple.

He says, "Raising them here is different because I was raised in New York City. It's totally different. I grew up in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in the 70s. There were... fires and riots and serial killers. It was great. My kids, its L.A., its sunny and nice. They don't have any excitement."
