Nobody knows the importance of last month’s incredible Zoolander 2 walk-off announcement more than the great Billy Zane, elite movie star from such classics as Titanic and…The Phantom. Something else that Billy Zane knows a thing or two about is kinda weird-looking hairdos (example: Twin Peaks), and today he premiered perhaps the most effective cut of his career—The Hansel.
It was none other than Ben Stiller himself who posted the Instagram video showing off Zane’s new look, a de-facto announcement of the actor’s upcoming role in the long-hyped comedy sequel that seeks to answer the age-old question of “But why male models?”
For now, there’s still no official confirmation from other potential returnees like Will Ferrell, Jon Voight, David Duchovny, Garry Shandling, Fred Durst, Lil’ Kim, or Lance Bass, but we did get the excellent first-look at Derek Jr. last week, to be played by Cyrus Arnold, who appears to be channeling Stiller’s adorably awkward pre-teen phase.
