Tweet

Director Todd Phillips gave his reason on why he decided to axed Mel Gibson's appearance in the upcoming "The Hangover 2".

"He’s one of our finest actors and, quite honestly, one of our finest directors. But The Hangover 2 is a family … and as much as I loved the idea, a lot of people didn’t … I didn’t want anything to come in between that family.”

Mel's role as a tattoo artist will now go to Liam Neeson.

Quoting one line from The Godfather movie -- "don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family"!
