Ben Stiller Says ‘Zoolander 2’ Flop Was ‘Blindsiding’ and ‘Freaked Me Out’ Because ‘I Thought Everybody Wanted This’: ‘I Must’ve Really F—ed This Up’
Ben Stiller thought everybody wanted a sequel to "Zoolander." Then "Zoolander 2" got horrible reviews and flopped, which freaked him out.
Ben Stiller has said in the past that “ Zoolander 2″ flopping at the box office was “not a great experience,” but he now admitted on an upcoming episode of David Duchovny’s “Fail Better” podcast (via People) that he was blindsided by the disastrous results that met his 2016 sequel. “The wonderful thing that came out of that for me was just having space where, if that had been a hit, and they said ‘Make “Zoolander 3″ right now,’ or offered some other movie, I would have just probably jumped in and done that,” Stiller said. Head over to People’s website to read more from Stiller’s interview on the “Fail Better” podcast.
