Mike Tyson On His The Hangover Cameo
Despite giving a memorable cameo in The Hangover, Mike Tyson wasn’t even aware he was part of the film until the night before shooting. According to Tyson, he was deep in the party scene, drinking, smoking, and doing drugs, when he randomly bumped into the movie’s stars at a nightclub.
He shared, “So I went in there, I’m checking these guys to see what they’re doing in my section. It was Zach, the other guy, and he said, ‘We’re going to be in a movie with you.’ And I said, ‘Yeah? When?’ And he said, ‘Tomorrow.’”
The boxing legend also admitted that he shot the scene while he was on drugs.
