Bill Clinton for The Hangover 2

Los Angeles - Former US president Bill Clinton - whose wife Hillary Clinton is currently serving in the Obama administration - will play himself in the comedy movie, and has already shot the role in Thailand.

Extra security was provided on the set of the movie, which stars Bradley Cooper and Zach Galafianakis.

Bill, 64, was already in the Thai capital of Bangkok to deliver a speech about clean energy.

The first Hangover film featured a cameo by boxer Mike Tyson, and it has previously been reported troubled star Mel Gibson would play a role in the new instalment, although he has since been replaced by Irish actor Liam Neeson as a Bangkok tattoo artist.

Discussing the change in actors, the film's director Todd Phillips said recently: "No one was ever fired. It's a term that's so obscene to me.

"Someone was doing me a favour to come in for a two-minute cameo, and we changed it. It wasn't like we fired somebody. Gibson was just doing a favour from the beginning."
