The planned Mel Gibson cameo for The Hangover 2 has been dropped, according to director Todd Phillips.
“I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of Jeff Robinov and his team,” said Phillips in a statement released by the studio, “But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew.”
Gibson would have been featured in a cameo role as a tattoo artist.
