Liam Neeson to Replace Mel Gibson in The Hangover 2

Warner Bros. wasted precious little time in filling The Hangover 2 cameo void after Mel Gibson was ousted roughly a day ago.

Variety reports The Hangover 2 star Bradley Cooper put in a call to his The A-Team pal Liam Neeson and by yesterday afternoon the man who fought Batman, wore Jedi robes and recently shot a cameo for Battleship was on his way to set. “I just got a call to do a one day shoot on ‘Hangover 2’ as a tattooist in Thailand, and that’s all I know about it,” Neeson said. “I just laughed my leg off when I saw ‘The Hangover, I was shooting in Berlin earlier this year and rented it on the hotel TV.”


Mel Gibson’s camp has yet to make a public statement regarding the “now you have it, now you don’t” cameo opportunity that could have begun the slow process of repairing his image.
