Random Movie Trivia - Zoolander

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

Zoolander

• The non-graphic orgy scene was originally longer but had to be shortened in order to get a PG-13 rating.
• The film was banned in Malaysia because the plot revolved around assassinating the Malaysian Prime Minister.
• A running joke throughout the movie is that Zoolander cannot turn left and if you watch closely, you notice that whenever his character is supposed to turn left, Ben Stiller would twirl to the right until he is facing the direction he was trying to go.
• Ben Stiller had several family members play parts in the movie: His wife Christine Taylor (Matilda), father Jerry Stiller (Maury Ballstein), mother Anne Meara (protestor who hits Mugatu with an egg), sister Amy Stiller (one of Hansel's friends in his loft), and brother-in-law Mitch Winston (Director of the infomercial).
• Owen Wilson (aka Hansel), had to wear a wig during the movie because he was also filming Behind Enemy Lines where he had to keep his hair short for the role.
• Vince Vaughn plays Zoolander's brother, but he has no dialogue and is uncredited.
• The part of Mugatu was originally written for Andy Dick, but he couldn't do the movie because of prior commitments.  However, he still had a small part in the film, he played the ugly masseuse.
• Did you know that Paris Hilton is in this movie?  Zoolander says hey to her as he is walking out of the VIP Room shortly before the "Walk-Off" scene.
• Ben Stiller wrote David Bowie's part of judging the "Walk-Off" without knowing if he could actually get him for the movie.
• The "Blue Steel" look came about because Stiller's wife would constantly make fun of the look on his face when he would comb his hair in the mirror.
• Zoolander's line where he says "But why male models?" a second time was actually ad-libbed because Ben Stiller forgot his line.  David Duchovny ran with it and that scene made it into the movie.
• And in case you haven't seen this movie in awhile, one of Zoolander's friends that dies in a "freak gasoline fight accident" is played by True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard (he plays the vampire Eric Northman).
