00:00Over the past decade, male modeling has had a shadow cast over it by one man and five syllables.
00:07Dare. Exzula. Dare.
00:12That's a really strange thought to think it was that long ago, the first one.
00:15It's a color classic.
00:16Hansel and Derek, it became these iconic characters.
00:19I loved it. I've seen it a number of times.
00:21It's one of those films you can watch again and again.
00:23I was a big fan of the first one. There's nothing really like it.
00:26Ben's character was so endearing and so ridiculous.
00:31I thought it was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
00:34It's got such a distinct voice and that's the charm about it.
00:36I was like, this guy's talking to me.
00:38I thought the first film was hilarious.
00:40It's one of those movies that you can pick up at any time and laugh out loud.
00:44The gasoline fight is something that everybody talks about.
00:48The walk-offs, Blue Steel, the looks.
00:50There are just parts of that movie that I only have to think of and I'm happy for the rest
00:54of my day.
00:54It's just a very different kind of comedy.
00:57That's a classic.
01:01We really wanted to make a sequel when the movie first came out.
01:05But nobody went to the movie, so nobody wanted to make the sequel.
01:10It wasn't like the first one did gangbusters at the box office.
01:14There was the shadow of 9-11 hanging over the opening.
01:18The movie, which came out a few weeks after 9-11 in 2001, you know, I think it just came
01:23out too close to a time where people didn't want to be silly.
01:27I remember Ben was having to go promote it and he was like, I don't even know how to promote
01:30this and didn't do well at the box office.
01:33But in a weird way, it allowed for people to discover it in a different way.
01:37It happened at a time where we really needed to laugh and it sort of resonated with people in that
01:44kind of way.
01:45And then there was this sort of undercurrent of people passing it along.
01:50Most people saw it on DVD a year after the release.
01:54Everyone got to feel like it was their own special discovery.
