In the middle of a Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week, comedy superstars Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson appeared in character as their very stupid — but very beautiful — characters Derek and Hansel from the 2001 film Zoolander.

The stunt wasn’t just an opportunity to look at two really, really ridiculously good-looking people — it’s also the first step in what is sure to be a really, really ridiculously extended publicity campaign for Zoolander 2, which is set to hit theaters on February 12, 2016, according to Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the comedy sequel.
Zoolander is a 2001 American satirical comedy film directed by Ben Stiller and starring Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell. The film contains elements from a pair of short films directed by Russell Bates and written by Drake Sather and Stiller for the VH1Fashion Awards television specials in 1996 and 1997. The short films and the film itself feature a dimwitted male model named Derek Zoolander, played by Stiller. The film involves Zoolander becoming the pawn of corrupt fashion executives in order to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
The hilarious stunt was Stiller and Wilson’s way of confirming that the film’s original stars have designed on for the Zoolander sequel. Paramount confirmed Zoolander 2 will hit theaters on Feb. 12, 2016. (Rumors have been circulating since 2010.)
