Liam Neeson on ‘Hangover 2’ & Mel Gibson: "Mel’s cool about it"

Liam Neeson shared that he and Mel Gibson are in good terms even though he replaced him in the cameo role for The Hangover 2.

Describing their conversation as "very pleasant", Liam Neeson tells Access Hollywood:

 “I spoke to Mel. Mel’s cool about it. We’re all cool.”

Liam also denies tattoo artist character in the sequel and he didn't shoot the scene in Thailand, where the sequel takes place.

“No,” Liam laughed. “It was (at the) Warner Brothers studio. I wish [it was Thailand]!”

Director Todd Phillips gave his reason on why he decided to replaced Mel Gibson, who is originally cast for the role. Philip says that "The Hangover is a family" and he "didn’t want anything to come in between that family.”

Liam and Mel previously worked together in 1984 historical film "The Bounty".
