“I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!”

It’s been a long time coming, but Zoolander 2 is finally here.

After 15 years of waiting, the sequel to the much-loved, 2001 cult comedy classic, Zoolander, is about to be released in Irish cinemas.

Somebody better have Mugatu’s goddamn latte ready and waiting for him…

When the worlds’s most beautiful people (and no, JOE’s not included in that group) suddenly start to turn up dead with former male model Derek Zoolander’s iconic ‘Blue Steel’ pose on their face, Interpol recruit Derek and his old foe-turned-friend, Hansel McDonald, to infiltrate the world of High Fashion in order to get to the bottom of the whole thing.

Ben Stiller is back as both director and star of the show, while familiar fashion faces, Owen Wilson and friend of JOE, Will Ferrell, return as the handsome Hansel and the evil Jacobim Mugatu.

Joining them this time around are Penélope Cruz as the head of Fashion Police at Interpol, Melanie Valentina, and Kristen Wiig as the dastardly designer, Alexanya Atoz.

We caught up with Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig to chat about the fine art of mastering ‘Blue Steel’, going for pints with Irish dads and how County Roscommon is the greatest place on earth.

Oh, and we couldn’t really ignore the very, VERY special way they like to kiss…
