The tower of a selfie stick was displayed in London and it clocks in at 8.56 meters (or 28 feet), according to The Independent.
A representative from the Guinness Book of World Records was in attendance to bestow the honor onto Stiller, despite the fact that the heavy winds of London almost tore the entire selfie stick down.

While Stiller managed to capture of photo of himself and members of the Zoolander 2 cast, he explained on Twitter that the experience was a bit precarious.
This was much more dangerous than it looks. https://t.co/phqEHq9KFj— Ben Stiller (@RedHourBen) February 4, 2016
Congrats on the world record, Mr. Zoolander! Just don't try to bring that giant selfie stick anywhere near the Pope.
