Stiller and Wilson, who play dim-witted male models Derek
Zoolander and Hansel ("so hot right now") in the film, delivered
the ultimate walk-off wearing custom Valentino accompanied by
pouts and "blue steel" gazes, in homage to the 2001 comedy
parodying the fashion world.
This is the first promotional stunt for Paramount Pictures' "Zoolander
2," due out in February 2016, with Stiller reprising his
directing duties and reuniting with Wilson and Will Ferrell, who
plays egomaniac designer Mugatu.
In "Zoolander," Stiller's character is brainwashed into an
assassination plot against a world leader, but is saved by
Hansel. The movie became a cult comedy hit, with Zoolander's
absurd lines, such as "What is this? A center for ants?"
much-quoted in pop culture.
