"I make no apologies for Tropic Thunder. It’s always been a controversial movie since when we opened. Proud of it and the work everyone did on it," Stiller wrote.

Stiller starred in, directed and co-wrote the film where Robert Downey Jr. plays an Australian actor, Kirk Lazarus, who undergoes cosmetic surgery to darken his skin so he can play a Black army sergeant, cited from Yahoo.

Stiller, 57, said, "Actually Tropic Thunder was boycotted 10 years ago when it came out, and I apologized then."

He continued, "It was always meant to make fun of actors trying to do anything to win awards. I stand by my apology, the movie... And the great people and work of the @SpecialOlympics."
