The fashion and entertainment worlds were abuzz in March when Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson crashed Paris Fashion Week [1] as Derek Zoolander and Hansel, their characters from the 2001 comedy classic Zoolander. The stunt came about as a way of announcing the release date for Zoolander 2 [2], the long-awaited sequel. Now, with the movie shooting, we also know a few cast members who will be in the follow-up, including some original stars from the beloved, quotable movie [3]. New cast members have been steadily joining as well, including the most recent addition, Justin Bieber [4]! Take a look at the full cast (so far) here.
