Ben Stiller On ‘Zoolander 2’ Being Unfairly Treated By Critics: “It’s Hard To Think It Was That Bad”

Ben Stiller is looking back at Zoolander 2 and still doesn't understand why it didn't match the first film's success.

In an appearance on Hot Ones on December 5, Stiller opened up about the Zoolander sequel after host Sean Evans asked which of his movies “was most misunderstood or treated unfairly by critics.” He continued, “It really freaked me out because I was like, ‘I didn’t know was that bad?’ What scared me the most on that one was l’m losing what I think what’s funny, the questioning yourself … on Zoolander 2, it was definitely blindsiding to me. Stiller directed the action comedy sequel, which he co-wrote alongside Justin Theroux, Nick Stoller, and John Hamburg.
