Zoolander's Ben Stiller And Owen Wilson Stop Traffic As Shop Dummies

Together, they probably have roughly the same IQ as clothes shop mannequins, which made Ben Stiller’s Derek Zoolander and Owen Wilson’s Hansel perfect for this stunt.

The pair stopped traffic and drew crowds in Rome as they posed in the window of the swish Valentino store.

Moves such as Le Tigre, Magnum and, of course, Blue Steel were very much in evidence.

Stiller and Owen are currently in the midst of a world tour to drum up hype for the long-awaited ‘Zoolander 2’.

They were joined the previous night for a fan screening at the Hotel De Russie Garden by co-stars Will Ferrell, Christine Taylor and writer Justin Theroux.

So far, they’ve visited Sydney and Paris to meet and greet fans, with Rome being the third location.

The movie has taken 15 years to arrive, following 2001’s cult classic, the original 'Zoolander’.

The synopsis for the new instalment goes like this:

“When the world’s most beautiful musical celebrities are systematically assassinated with formerly famous male model Derek Zoolander’s iconic 'Blue Steel’ look on their face, Interpol recruits Derek and his friend Hansel McDonald to infiltrate a new and different world of high fashion in order to put a stop to it. Meanwhile, Derek’s rival Jacobim Mugatu is set free and is seeking revenge.”

Also starring are Penelope Cruz as Interpol agent Melanie Valentina and Kristen Wiig as fashionista Alexanya Atoz, while there are also roles for Fred Armisen, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Benedict Cumberbatch, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry.

It arrives in the UK on February 12.
