HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Well, that was fast!
Liam Neeson has been called on to replace Mel Gibson in The Hangover 2.
"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, 58, told Variety. "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."
The casting news comes a day after Gibson’s cameo was canceled due to complaints from the film’s cast and crew.
The Hangover 2, which reunites stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zack Galifianakis, is due to hit theaters next May.
