In his prime, Mike Tyson was among the most popular and feared people on the earth. Despite being a part of several action films, “Iron Mike” is most known for his cameo in Todd Phillips’ comedy The Hangover.
The Hangover is a franchise of three American road comedy films written and directed by Todd Phillips. Despite mixed reviews from film critics, the franchise has made over $1.4 billion globally.
How Much Did Mike Tyson Get Paid For The Hangover?
In contrast to the $300,000 given to each of the film’s lead actors, including Bradley Cooper, Mike Tyson received $100,000 for his role in the first part. Tyson later received $200,000 for his role in The Hangover 2 and for recording the cover song One Night in Bangkok.

However, that paycheck wasn’t quite as lavish when you realize that many returning stars made $5 million for their roles in the sequel.
To put his salary into perspective, actors Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms reportedly received $5,000,000 for the sequel, up from the reported $300,000 they reportedly received for the original Hangover movie. Tyson’s increase in salary was hence relatively meager.
Mike Tyson Said His Cameo In The Hangover Came As A Surprise To Him
Most actors would spend weeks anxiously memorizing their lines, but the former heavyweight boxing champion claimed he wasn’t even aware of his involvement in The Hangover until the night before. The champion had no idea he was supposed to be in the movie since he was “doing drugs,” however; his cameo undoubtedly helped the movie become a huge success.

He has admitted, “I was doing drinks, smoking, and drugs in those days. However, then I did the movie,e and it proved to be successful.” In an interview, Tyson stated that he learned that his shooting would begin the following day when he arrived at the nightclub where he had first met the movie’s actors.
“I met the guys in a club, they were in the VIP section and I said ‘This is where I normally sit nobody’s normally here,’” he said
“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.’
Tyson has previously discussed how he used drugs while filming. In his most famous scene, the boxer knocks out Galifianakis’s character, Alan.
