Marlon Wayans revealed Paris and Nicky Hilton inspired his hit film 'White Chicks' - and now the Hilton sisters have responded

• Marlon Wayans revealed that the Hilton sisters were the inspiration behind the film "White Chicks.
• Initially, Wayans told his brother and costar, "You high?" when he came up with the idea.
• Both Paris and Nicky Hilton were "happy" by the revelation.

Marlon Wayans revealed earlier this week that the inspiration behind the cult classic 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 costarred along with him in the film, saw the Hilton sisters on the cover of a magazine and the rest was history.

"Funny story one day my brother [Shawn] calls me at 3 a.m. saying 'Marlon we should play white chicks,'" Wayans wrote in the caption.

"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 immediately got it. They were so big and was the gateway to pop culture send up," he added.

"So thank you Paris and [Nicky] for being muses," Wayans added in his post. "When we do #whitechicks2 'lets go shopping.'"

"Great seeing you last night. That movie was hilarious AF," Paris said in comment to Wayans' post. "Love you too bro and yes let us know."

"Happy we could be a source of inspiration! White Chicks 2?" Nicky added in another comment.

Although there's been speculation around a sequel to the 2004 comedy, it hasn't been given the green light.

Fans were given a glimpse of hope when Terry Crews shared that the sequel to the film was "in the works."

In 2019, Wayans set that record straight during "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" by stating, "I'll let you guys know when it happens, happens."
