    (#12) To Prevent Spoiler Leaks, Some Actors Were Denied The Full Script

To accomplish this, only select people were granted entire screenplays for Part III. Even Heather Graham was initially denied a full reading

    She told The Independent in 2013 that "everyone was so paranoid they didn't even want to give [her] the script." Graham continued to badger the producers, and they eventually relented. "They finally gave it to me, but it took a lot," she said. "It felt like I was in the CIA."

    (#3) Mel Gibson's Cameo Was Dropped After The Cast And Crew Protested

    Mel Gibson was originally slated to play the eccentric tattoo artist in The Hangover Part II. However, because of Gibson's high-profile scandal involving racially intolerant and anti-Semitic remarks, his casting didn't sit well with some of the cast and crew, particularly Zach Galifianakis.

    Director Todd Phillips canceled the Gibson cameo after hearing the cast and crew's concerns. "I thought Mel would have been great in the movie," he said in a public statement, "but I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew."

    Liam Neeson was hired to replace Gibson, but when he was unavailable for necessary reshoots, he was replaced with Nick Cassavetes.

    (#10) Lindsay Lohan Turned Down The Role Of Jade

    Lindsay Lohan's agent urged her to play Jade, the exotic dancer who plays a pivotal role in The Hangover. As he was also the agent of director Todd Phillips, he was able to heavily lobby for Lohan's casting. Phillips eventually agreed and formally approached Lohan about the part.

    According to rumors, she turned down the role, stating that she felt the screenplay "had no potential." Phillips denied this, citing her age as the determining factor: "Honestly, it felt like she ended up being too young for what we were talking about."

    The role was eventually given to Heather Graham.

    (#11) Ed Helms Was Simultaneously Filming 'The Office' During Production

    When Ed Helms was offered the role of Stu in The Hangover, he was already a cast member on NBC's hit sitcom The Office. Since the properties were filming simultaneously, the actor had to ask for permission to appear in the movie.

    Helms told The Hollywood Reporter in 2013 that his busy filming schedule wore him down, especially since The Office taped in Los Angeles and The Hangover was shooting in Las Vegas. Helms explained:

    I had to agree to charter my own flights, these little tiny jets, which I paid for. I'd go from Vegas to Van Nuys Airport at four in the morning because we were doing shoots all night, then I'd land in Van Nuys, drive to the set and shoot all day on The Office, completely Red Bull-ed out of my brain.
