Headline: Ben Stiller was 'blindsided' by Zoolander 2 flopping
Caption: The 58-year-old actor, who co-wrote, produced, directed and starred in the 2016 movie, didn't expect the follow-up to flop because he thought audiences were clamouring for a sequel to 2001's Zoolander. "I thought everybody wanted this," Stiller said on an upcoming episode of David Duchovny's new podcast Fail Better, reports People. "And then it's like, 'Wow, I must have really f**ked this up.' Everybody didn't go to it. And it's gotten these horrible reviews." Stiller admitted the flop "freaked (him) out" and made him doubt his comedic abilities.
