Ben Stiller on the 'Zoolander 2' Casting Choice That Got Away

On the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, special guest Ben Stiller opened up about Zoolander 2 and the ideal casting he wished for, but couldn’t achieve.

Stiller met Laura Bush a few years ago at a football game where he discovered that she was a Zoolander fan. And once the casting for the sequel began, he had his heart set on asking Bush to be in the movie. Unfortunately it involved participating in a scene with Owen Wilson where they would be “in a relationship with a group of people.”

Laura politely declined, wisely deciding that her claim to fame should remain her role in the White House, rather than a room filled with naked bodies.

Zoolander 2 opens Friday.
