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.

The best movies on Peacock right now (May 2024)

The best analogy for Peacock is that it's more of a rental service than a traditional streamer. Most of the new movies on Peacock only stick around for month, which means you have to make your viewing plans early if you don't want to miss your favorite films before their streaming window closes.

Fortunately, what Peacock's lineup lacks in longevity, it makes up for with a pretty diverse set of movies across all genres. Some of the highlights in May include the original Max Max, which is a good primer for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga later this month. Horror fans can also enjoy The Cabin in the Woods and Get Out, while families and animation lovers can catch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish on May 10.

4 great 1974 movies you need to watch right now

A 50th birthday is a momentous occasion and marks a prodigious milestone -- halfway to a century is nothing to squawk at. It’s only fair that we respect our movies the same way, especially considering film itself is less than 150 years old. We’ve only broken the surface on what the art form can be, and much like a museum patron appreciating Renaissance greats, it’s our job as the viewer to keep the legacy of these movies alive.

Luckily for us, the movies of 1974 are not only great, but often mirror the same thoughts, paranoias, and experiences that we see in our present-day lives. While exaggerated to a point and perfectly placed within their time, here are a few films ranging from true classics to underrated gems that are celebrating the big 5-0 and are just as successful through a modern lens.
