After being cast -- and then replaced by Liam Neeson -- for a comedic cameo in the sequel to the hit 'The Hangover,' Mel Gibson is downright "furious" with producers of the film, according to Page Six.An insider says, "He doesn't understand why Mike Tyson, a drug user [and convicted rapist, as EW.com points out] who turned his life around, was given a chance while Mel was kicked to the curb. Everybody deserves a second chance."
Gibson seemed to be making inroads on his career comeback -- after his public image was disastrously damaged over the summer by recordings of his angry rants to his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva -- however, the news of his casting in the 'Hangover' sequel was immediately followed by rumors of dissent among the cast. Gibson was swiftly dismissed, and the role of the tattoo artist went to Neeson.
In a statement, Neeson's rep (who also reportedly represents Gibson) winked at the controversy, saying that Neeson would be joining the actors on the 'Hangover 2' set "pending clearance of cast and crew background check."
The drama in Gibson's personal life is making fewer headlines these days, but is far from over. He and Grigorieva are battling over custody and support terms pertaining to their baby daughter, Lucia. The single mom recently called him a "depressed lunatic" in the press, and vehemently denies accusations of extortion, insisting that she had no choice but to record the Oscar winner's rages in order to document his threats.
