Marlon Wayans revealed earlier this week that the inspirations behind cult film “White Chicks” were socialites and reality TV stars Paris and Nicky Hilton.

The 2004 comedy film follows two black FBI agent brothers, who go undercover as white socialites to unravel a kidnapping plot.

In an Instagram post shared Wednesday, Marlon Wayans said he and his brother, Shawn, who starred with him in the film, saw the Hilton sisters on the cover of a magazine and the rest is history.

“It’s funny how my brother (Shawn) called me at 3 a.m. one day and said ‘Marlon we should play white girls,'” Wayans wrote in the caption.

“Are you high?” Wayans said he asked his brother, Shawn.

After seeing a photo of the Hilton sisters on the cover of a magazine the next day, Wayans detailed, it clicked.

“I understood it immediately. They were so big and the gateway to pop culture,” he added.

“So thank you Paris and (Nicky) for being muses,” Wayans added in his message. “When we do #whitechicks2, let’s go shopping.”

Paris and Nicky Hilton responded to Marlon’s revelation, and both seemed flattered.

“Good to see you last night. That movie was hilarious AF,” Paris commented on Wayans’ post. “I love you too brother and yes, let us know.”

“Glad we can be an inspiration! White chicks 2?,” Nicky added in another comment.

Although there was speculation surrounding a sequel to the 2004 comedy, it was not given the green light.

Fans got a glimpse of hope when Terry Crews said the film’s sequel was “in the works.”

In 2019, Wayans set the record straight on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” by saying, “I’ll let you know when it happens, happens.” »
