Celebrating the world premiere of fashion comedy "Zoolander No. 2," Ben Stiller whipped out an 8.56m (28ft 1in) selfie stick and broke a world record in the process.
At the February 4th premiere for the ensemble film in London, UK, Ben Stiller put himself in pole positioning for a Guinness World Records entry, thanks to the towering selfie stick he used to photograph the "Zoolander No. 2" entourage.
Over 20 cast members and special guests featured in the selfie, which was taken not on a red carpet, but a blue one, in reference the signature pose of Stiller's character, a fictional male model named Derek Zoolander.
Mingling with the film's stars -- Stiller, Penelope Cruz, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig and more -- were the likes of "Star Wars" cast members Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac, real world models Lara Stone, Portia Freeman and Neelam Gill, veritable fashion institutions Valentino and Mario Testino, and even Holly Johnson of iconic synth band Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
The film is set to start an international roll-out the week of February 11, when it goes on general release in numerous territories including the USA and Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the UK and Ireland, Brazil, South Africa and several countries across continental Europe, with a wider global release to follow.
