"I don't remember Donald Trump in 'Zoolander.'" - my editor
"I barely remember 'Zoolander.'" - me
I don't know if there is an actual push by anti-Trump Zoolander fans to have him removed from the movie, or if this is just another case of five idiots tweeting the same dumb opinion. But perception becomes reality way too quickly. It was only a handful of idiots saying that Hamilton needs to be cancelled. It became reality when a reporter asked Lin-Manuel Miranda about it, and he agreed that his opus is now problematic in this new world. Go back in time to 2018. Tell the liberals of 2018 that in just two short years they'd try to cancel both Hamilton and Harry Potter. Imagine the look of shock on their pimpled faces.
THANKFULLY, Ben Stiller didn't take the bait when he was asked a similar question.
Years later, of course, Trump became president. And recently, his vocal opponents told Stiller he should nix Trump's appearance entirely. But the "Escape at Dannemora" director is not having it.
"I've had people reach out to me and say, 'You should edit Donald Trump out of "Zoolander," ' but at the end of the day, that was a time when that exists and that happened," said Stiller of refusing to alter his film.
This is the cameo in question:
