Zoolander uses Sydney Harbour Bridge as fashion runway

Male model Derek Zoolander (aka Ben Stiller) couldn’t resist the urge to strike a pose when he was invited to climb Sydney’s highest catwalk, the Harbour Bridge.

He completed the climb in a customised BridgeClimb suit covered in a flamboyant hibiscus flower design.

Stiller is in Australia to promote his new film, Zoolander 2, the long awaited sequel to the 2001 classic.

He attended the purple carpet for the Sydney premiere at the State Theatre on Tuesday to the excitement of fans who have waited 15 years for his best known character to make a comeback.

Owen Wilson will return as Zoolander’s friend Hansel McDonald alongside co-star Will Ferrell and new additions Kristen Wiig and Penelope Cruz.
