Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson Own The Valentino Show, Announce ‘Zoolander 2’ [Video]
Yes, the much-awaited Zoolander 2 movie is happening. And the manner in which Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson owned the Valentino Show, strutting out onto the fashion runway in full Zoolander mode in order to announce the sequel was pure genius and funny fun, reports E!? Apparently, there had been talk for months about whether Zoolander 2 would happen, with the cult following of Zoolander fans in high anticipation for the film that makes big fun out of the haute couture, taking-yourself-too-seriously world of supermodels galore.
Video snippets of the fashion event can be seen on the Maison Valentino Instagram account, showing Stiller snapping selfies one after the other as he struts confidently down the Valentino runway wearing a shiny getup, after stealing an iPhone from a member of the audience in true Zoolander style.
“Derek Zoolander and Hansel strut down the runway wearing cutting-edge fashion that asks the eternal question, “Où est la bibliothèque?” #Zoolander2 @benstiller Derek wears a custom Night Butterflies brocade suit with hand-embroidered overcoat and black Creeper shoes. Hansel wears a Silk Continent print Pajama suit with Double Cashmere overcoat and Open sneakers.#Zoolander2 @benstiller #linkinbio. Marie Antoinette once said, “Let them eat cake.” Derek and Hansel have certainly devoured this runway#Zoolander2 @benstiller“
The laughs from the crowd came hard and heavy, with Valentino audience members screaming for the famous duo as they strutted like male models. The response on Twitter was just as amazing, with the hashtag Valentino going viral minutes after the two men made their Zoolander 2 announcement.
The Stiller and Wilson announcement for the new Zoolander movie made for quite a hilarious time, reports the Daily Mail?. More video of Stiller slinking down the Valentino runway like a determined cat can be see on the Claire Fivestory Instagram account, whose description paid homage to the Zoolander movie.
“Tuileries Garden-Jardin Des Tuileries. You’re Really really ridiculously good looking.”
As reported by the Inquisitr, speculation about Ben starring in a Zoolander sequel has been ongoing for years, along with the new movie’s production schedule. Will Ferrell let it be known that a Zoolander 2 script was completed, but fans hadn’t heard any new news about the new Zoolander for quite some time. Now that Stiller and Wilson have made it known that “Zoo 2” is definitely happening in the best way possible — by getting into their fashion element at the Valentino show — the world knows the movie is a go.
