A scene from Zoolander 2001
J.P. Prewitt

The truth is male models have been assassinating world leaders for over 200 years. Abe Lincoln wanted to abolish slavery, right? Well, who do you think made the silk stockings and powdered wigs worn by our early leaders?

Derek Zoolander

Mugatu!

[pauses]

Slaves, Derek. So they hired John Wilkes Booth to do Mr. Lincoln in. The first model/actor! Dallas. 1963. John F. Kennedy.

Matilda

Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't a male model.

J.P. Prewitt

You're goddamn right he wasn't, but the two lookers who capped Kennedy from the grassy knoll sure as shit were!

Derek Zoolander

But why male models?

J.P. Prewitt

Are you serious? I just told you.
