вЂњWe ended up obviously going with the coal miner thing.вЂќ So Zoolander became a family affair, and the set became a place of constant crack-ups. вЂњOne of Derek's brothers was a Springsteen impersonator,вЂќ Stiller recalls. Stiller was already serving as writer, director, producer and lead actor, but, as he reveals, at one point he was also going to also play both Maury Ballstein (who in the film was actually portrayed by StillerвЂ™s real father, Jerry) and DerekвЂ™s twinвЂ™s brother. вЂњIn that sense, I wasn't scared to look weird,вЂќ she explains. And ultimately, Jovovich says she wanted to work against her model rГ©sumГ©. вЂњI was very into her always looking like she just smelled something,вЂќ she says. Jovovich used her mother's Russian accent as inspirational fodder, and added a few extra flairs to her role's personality.

Referencing the studio supporting the movie, he continued his reasoning: вЂњвЂParamount loves you, and you did The Brady Bunch Movie for Paramount, and they would love for you to do it.вЂ™вЂќДЇor Stiller, casting Jovovich, a successful model who was in both the fashion and film worlds, as Katinka helped вЂњlegitimizeвЂќ his movie. вЂњI remember getting a call from Ben one day saying, вЂSo, what do you think about playing Matilda?вЂ™вЂќ she says. (The two actors wed in 2000.) But after a few people were offered the part-Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Hudson, included-and it didnвЂ™t work out, her name went to the top of the list. After not getting the role of Pam in StillerвЂ™s Meet the Parents the year prior, she wanted to avoid any awkwardness at home. Taylor was actually intentionally sitting out of auditions for the project. вЂњNow it's impossible for me to picture anybody but Will doing it,вЂќ says Stiller. He adds another revelation: вЂњAndy Dick was supposed to play Mugatu,вЂќ but the comedian вЂ‹вЂ‹wasnвЂ™t available because he was working on a sitcom. вЂњThe only one that I remember clearly was a young Jake Gyllenhaal doing this wide-eyed version of Hansel that was really funny,вЂќ recalls Stiller. Wilson was always Stiller's first choice for who he wanted to play Hansel, but when it looked like he wouldn't be available to shoot, they were forced to hold auditions. ItвЂ™s nearly impossible to picture any of these roles in the hands of other actors, now, but many had other names attached at one point. Just as stacked was the roster of cameos: David Bowie, Billy Zane, James Marsden, Jon Voight, Vince Vaughn, Alexander SkarsgГҐrd, and more all managed to appear. Alongside Stiller, Ferrell, and Taylor, rounding out the main cast were Owen Wilson as the вЂњso hot right nowвЂќ hipster model Hansel and Milla Jovovich as MugatuвЂ™s snide henchperson, Katinka. By the time it moved from bit to full-length feature, a plot had developed whereby his character would be enlisted by an evil fashion designer named Mugatu (played by Will Ferrell) to star in a campaign that is actually a secret ploy to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia. It was for the 1996 VH1 Fashion Awards that Stiller first invented the dim-witted male model persona of Derek Zoolander. Melinda Sue Gordon/Paramount/Nvp/Red Hour/Village R'Show/Kobal/Shutterstock
