Meeting The Actual Hangover Guy

Back in the ’60s, the film Viva Las Vegas told a love story using Las Vegas as a backdrop. But this wasn’t an entirely accurate portrayal of this city. Instead, you’ll find one of those in the 2009 classic film “The Hangover.” This story is about drink, drugs, and debauchery on the eve of a man’s wedding was the success story of the year.

It also spawned two sequels, and an actor whose star rose exponentially thanks to these films is Zach Galifianakis. Since that star started shining, a Galifianakis lookalike has popped up and reportedly makes about $250k annually posing for photos with people in Las Vegas. He became so popular he was cast as a body double in The Hangover 3.
