Bill Clinton to cameo in The Hangover 2

bill-clinton-photographWe already know Bill Clinton can act, but we’ll soon find out if he’s a comedian. People reports that the former president will make a cameo appearance in The Hangover 2. Clinton, who plays himself, shot his appearance while in Bangkok, Thailand Saturday. Always the multitasker, the President was already in the country to make a speech about clean energy. TMZ shot picture ‘proof’ of his appearance on the film’s set.

The Hangover 2 looks to continue a popular trend from its predecessor. In The Hangover, Mike Tyson made a cameo appearance when the gang–Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms–got black out drunk and stole a tiger from his mansion. Tyson put on a terrible performance, but people loved it. Since The Hangover grossed $277.3 million dollars, and is the third most successful R-rated movie of all time, Hollywood executives want to keep a good thing going. Liam Neeson will also make a cameo as a tattoo artist, taking the place of Mel Gibson, who was dropped after cast members objected to working with him.

We know a few details about the sequel so far. It takes place in Thailand (obviously), Zach Galifianakis becomes a monk and shaves his head, and Ed Helms gets a Tyson-like tribal tattoo on his face. Sounds strange enough. The Hangover 2 hits theaters May 26, 2011.

Everything leaving Netflix in May 2024

Netflix is always at its best when it has a robust lineup of movies from other studios to go along with its original films. But in May, Netflix is going to lose a lot of great flicks, because several of its movies on loan from rival studios are going back home. This month, that includes L.A. Confidential, the first four Hunger Games movies, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and even Where the Crawdads Sing, which enjoyed a nearly 18-month run on Netflix following its theatrical release.

Fox's short-lived sitcom The Mick is also departing Netflix, which tends to shed movies more often than it does shows. But there is an upside to this month's content migration: May has a full 31 days and a holiday weekend. That should go a long way toward helping plan your movie nights so you can catch these films and shows before they depart.
