“From Runway Dreams to Real-Life Journeys: Discover the Stunning Transformations of the Zoolander Cast!”
Of course, we all know what Donald Trump has been up to since Zoolander. Between 2001 and 2019, he hosted a hit reality television show and became the President of the United States. The one thing that hasn’t appeared to change though is his combover.
Lenny Kravitz As Himself
When Lenny Kravitz appeared as himself in Zoolander, he was at the height of his career. He won the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance four years in a row between 1999 and 2002, which made it all the more hilarious that in Zoolander, he was the one presenting the top award!
Kravitz kept making music for most of the 2000s. He returned to acting in 2012 in the role of Cinna, Katniss’ stylist in The Hunger Games franchise.
Paris Hilton As Herself
The hotel heiress only appeared in Zoolander for enough time to say “Hey Derek, you rule” but it was long enough to become an iconic cameo. Just remember that at the time, Paris Hilton was a notorious socialite. In 2001, she was working as a model signed by none other than Donald Trump and making millions off nightclub promotional appearances.
Two years after her cameo, she starred in the reality series The Simple Life. After the show ended, Hilton tried her hand at singing and acting but has since stuck with fashion.
Lance Bass As Himself
There were a lot of stars who made cameos at the final Derelicte fashion show. Among them were Lance Bass, Lil’ Kim, and Fred Durst. Bass had risen to fame as part of the boy band N*SYNC but at the time was trying his hand at an acting career.
