Jake Gyllenhaal almost starred alongside Ben Stiller in “Zoolander” instead of Owen Wilson. In a new interview with “Esquire” celebrating the 20th anniversary of the cult classic, Stiller reveals Gyllenhaal auditioned for the role of male model Hansel. Wilson was the first choice for the role, but they held more auditions when it started to look like there would be scheduling conflicts. Stiller says Gyllenhaal’s was one of the most memorable auditions, that he was “really funny.”
