"THE HANGOVER II" CAST ON SHOOTING IN EXOTIC BANGKOK AND WHO BECAME A "DIVA" SINCE THE FIRST FILM
February 10, 2011 (Los Angeles, CA) - ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT's KEVIN FRAZIER is exclusively on the set of "The Hangover II" for ET's February Event! New interviews with stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha will air tonight, February 10th.
On how they have all changed since the first film, (which is the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time) Ed jokes, "I'm a diva. I was pretty cool in the first one I think they'll back me up on that, but I'm just a real diva." Zach says, "The main difference between last movie and this one is that I took a hang glider to work now. I'm a little bit more eccentric and I live up in the Burbank hills and I just take a hang glider."
All four stars of the original comedy blockbuster are back, this time raising hell in Thailand for Ed's character's wedding. On filming in exotic Bangkok, Bradley says, "Bangkok tops Vegas in a huge way. The first one felt like a gritty, dirty -- the dark side of Vegas during the day. [This one's] a grand movie. This is the gritty, dirty reality of a city that's populated by, I think, 7 million people, so it's a lot different."
"I think people will be surprised at how gritty and crazy this movie's going to look," agrees Ed, adding, "There are no tigers - scripted - in this movie."
Zach is having such a good time, he might even stay in Thailand: "I don't really want to go back because I find that I might be bored when I go back to the United States," he says. "This is, like, the most un-boring place. I just love it."
Do the stars feel any pressure to top the first one? "No," says Bradley. "It's more like the idea of just all of us being together again, playing the characters that we love." Justin reveals that one favorite character will be returning, "Ken Jeong is coming back!"
Once again directed by Todd Phillips, 'The Hangover Part II' hits theaters May 26.
