“From Runway Dreams to Real-Life Journeys: Discover the Stunning Transformations of the Zoolander Cast!”
Will Ferrell As Mugatu
Will Ferrell was already a huge star before he took on the role of fashion designer-villain Mugatu. Appearing in Zoolander only increased Ferrell’s fame and fortune. He has over 100 acting credits to his name and has stepped into the shoes of even funnier characters.
After Zoolander, he wrote and acted in other hilarious roles like Elf, Step Brothers, The Other Guys, Anchorman…the list goes on and on. Ferrell is still going strong and has three upcoming movies in 2019.
Milla Jovovich As Katinka
Mugatu’s sidekick Katinka was equal parts terrifying and beautiful, so of course, the only actress that could play the pleather-clad assassin was Milla Jovovich. At the time, Jovovich was most famous for playing Alice in Resident Evil.
The actress has continued to reprise the role of Alice in the Resident Evil franchise that is now worth more than $1.2 billion. In her downtime, Jovovich also married her Resident Evil co-star Paul W.S. Anderson and the pair have two kids together.
Justin Theroux As The Evil DJ
One of Zoolander’s best-kept secrets is that the evil DJ who has a breakdancing competition against Owen Wilson is none other than Justin Theroux. How did he end up in the role? No one knows but he seems to love the character. Theroux went on to co-write the script for Zoolander 2 and reprised the role, even appearing in costume on the red carpet and breakdancing in the trailer.
