Christine Taylor’s model poses are no match forhusband Ben Stiller. The actress who stars alongside her husband in Zoolander 2 admitted that the iconic “Blue Steel” pout made popular by DerekZoolander (played by Ben) is “not in [her] wheelhouse.”
“I’ve watched my husband do it and I don’t evenknow… mine is so bad. Our son’s has gotten really good too, he just does it andhe just comes out with ‘Blue Steel,’” the 44-year-old told Good Housekeeping’s March issue.“Ben does a whole thing where he turns and looks."

She continued, “I just purse my lipsand try to look very serious. He does it great, like he gets a furrowed browand he holds it and I would say that’s one of the most fun things about beingmarried to him because people will just yell at him on the street, “BlueSteel,” and he does it in a heartbeat, which I love. He’s such a good sport aboutit.”
The couple’s 10-year-old son Quinlin recently showed off his model pout — clearly taking after his father in that department — while attending the film’s New York premiere with his parents and older sister Ella, 13.

When it comes to balancing work and her twochildren, the working mom admitted, “I feellike being a mom, for me, has hands down been the priority.
“I feel like I struggled more when I started togo back to work because I would feel so guilty, and my daughter really made it hardwhen she was younger,” she said. “It’s been pretty easy for me to sort ofjuggle both because my priories are always there with them, but it’s great tobe able to do a little work every now and then… When my husband’s working orhe’s on a film, I tend to not work that time and vice versa, so we make itwork, it’s good.”

The mom-of-two also proudly confessed that she and herfamily are “gigantic basketball fans.” “We are giant uber geeks for the bigtall guys,” she said. In fact, the actress revealed that she was once starstruck by Knicks player CarmeloAnthony. She explained, “We get to meet a lot of cool celebrities and amazingpeople, but those professional athletes are amazing for the both of us—we getvery geeky.”
While they may be geeky, they certainly areunlike other families. Spilling on her family's holiday traditions, Christine revealed that Ben’s famousfather Jerry Stiller likes to go around the table and discuss what they “lovebeing in show business. She said, “There’s probably like three of us at thetable that are in show business. My dad certainly isn’t, and so we do a lot oflaughing and there’s going to be great stories for the kids to tell about theirgrandparents and parents someday.”
