Ben Stiller has treated Zoolander fans to a hilarious new video clip on Instagram, unveiling a new casting for the hit movie’s sequel.
The video appears to show Owen Wilson’s character, model Hansel from the first movie, sitting in a garden reading a newspaper. The camera approaches him from behind and Derek Zoolander’s voice can be heard saying, “Hey Hansel, wouldn’t it be cool if Billy Zane was in Zoolander 2?”
The figure then turns to face the camera to reveal it is actually Titanic star Billy Zane, wearing a blonde wig.
He replies: “Yeah, that’d be great,” and pulls his best Blue Steel pout.
Ben, who played “really really ridiculously good looking” model Derek in the 2001 comedy Zoolander recently revealed newcomer Cyrus Arnold will play Derek’s son in the follow-up film.
Ben will serve as producer and director on the follow-up film again, as well as starring alongside returning co-star Owen, who is back as model Hansel.
Zoolander 2 is due to be released in cinemas on February 12, 2016.
