Will Ferrell Mistaken for Zoolander in Italy

Will Ferrell recounted an amusing incident where he was mistaken for "The Zoolander" by a fan during a visit to Italy. The actor, who portrayed the villainous Jacobim Mugatu in the 2001 fashion satire, clarified his role to the fan. Ferrell noted that while "Zoolander" is popular in Italy, his 2004 film "Anchorman" is particularly revered by French audiences. He finds it fascinating how international viewers connect with different aspects of his filmography. The actor made these remarks on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. Meanwhile, Ben Stiller, the director and star of "Zoolander," recently reflected on the critical and commercial failure of its 2016 sequel, "Zoolander 2," admitting it made him question his comedic instincts.
