Formula 1 ace Lewis Hamilton given cameo role in 'Zoolander 2'?

Reigning Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton appears to have been handed a cameo role for the upcoming Hollywood movie Zoolander 2.

The 30-year-old Brit, who won the F1 title with Mercedes last season, was photographed in Rome filming a scene for the movie, which stars Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.

Hamilton, who ended his long-term relationship with American popstar Nicole Scherzinger last year, was seated next to model Olivia Munn in the front row of a runway scene.

The F1 star has a 27-point lead over Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg after four races in the 2015 season.
