Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson hit catwalk in Paris to promote ‘Zoolander 2’ at Valentino show
PARIS – To deafening cheers, Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller stormed the Valentino catwalk during Paris Fashion Week Tuesday in a headline-grabbing stunt to announce the decision to make ‘Zoolander 2.’
The two Hollywood stars reprised their roles as male models Derek Zoolander and Hansel, immortalized in the hugely popular 2001 movie, on the catwalk for Valentino’s ready to wear fall/winter 2015-16 show.
The sequel will hit U.S. movie theatres on Feb. 12, 2016, Paramount Pictures said in a statement. It said Stiller and Wilson will again star in the movie, which will be written by Justin Theroux and directed by Stiller.
Stiller appeared in a dark electric blue suit-and-tie ensemble with a navy trenchcoat. Wilson, sporting shaggy long blond locks, strutted in a shiny light blue pajama print outfit with blindingly white sneakers, topped off with an eggshell blue trench coat.
It was such a surprise that the audience immediately whipped out their phones to catch the moment.
