While Zoolander 2 is already set to feature cameos from Kanye West, Karlie Kloss, Penelope Cruzand hopefully a lot more, Karl Lagerfeld will definitely not be in the movie. 

Lagerfeld recently spoke about the movie with Hello!, and he didn't seem too happy about it. "I don't want to be in the movie!" he told the publication. "They wanted me to be in the movie!" Lagerfeld's dislike for the upcoming picture seems to have stemmed from Ben Stiller and Luke Wilson closing out the Valentino runway show during Paris Fashion Week. "I didn't like it," Lagerfeld said. "I'm not an actor." Anna Wintour, who helped orchestrate the whole thing, certainly didn't seem to have a problem with it. 

While we won't get our hopes up for a change of mind from the Chanel designer, we are still pretty excited about the movie. Cara Delevingne is reportedly in the running for a big role, and even former Vogue Paris editor in chief Carine Roitfeld hopes she can land a part in it
