Hollywood star Ben Stiller has introduced the world to Derek Zoolander’s son, played by Cyrus Arnold
The 49-year-old star – who starred as the male model in the 2001 hit comedy film Zoolander– is set to reprise the role in the eagerly-awaited sequel and has revealed the identity of his character’s on-screen son, played by Cyrus Arnold. The comedian posted an image of himself alongside Cyrus on Instagram, and captioned it: “Meet @cyrusarnold. Son of Derek. #Zoolander2”
The image comes shortly after Karl Lagerfeld revealed he’s turned down a cameo role in Zoolander 2. The Chanel creative director was approached to make an appearance in the long-awaited movie but said he has no desire to turn his hand to acting. He revealed: “I don’t want to be in the movie. They wanted me to be in the movie! I’m not an actor.”
The film was officially announced when Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson made a surprise appearance in character as Derek Zoolander and Hansel McDonald during Valentino’s recent Paris Fashion Week show. However, the outspoken designer didn’t welcome the interruption, saying: “I didn’t like it.”
Zoolander 2– which is also rumoured to star hip-hop icon Kanye West – is set for release in February 2016.
