History
Derek Zoolander's mother died and his father, Larry, and two brothers, Luke and Scrappy, became coal miners. Derek decided to become a male model when he went into the second grade after seeing his face reflected in a spoon. On September 2001, Zoolander defeated Jacobim Mugatu's tricks to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia. He and his wife, Matilda Jeffries invested on the Derek Zoolander's Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good, which was destroyed two days after it opened and resulted in the death of Matilda. In 2009, Derek Zoolander was forced into hiding by the alias "Eric Toolander". In 2016, Zoolander's friend, Billy Zane informed the model to do another mission with his friend Hansel McDonald.
