The Hangover was the Hollywood trilogy that went on to become an absolute cult classic after the first instalment was released in 2009.
In the original comedy, three groomsmen who wake up in Las Vegas suffering from “drunk-amnesia” and must find out what happened the night before in order to find the missing groom.
The franchise saw Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis take top billing in the leading roles but fans will doubtless remember the baby, whose actual name in the film was Tyler but was also known to the group as Carlos.
He was strapped to Alan (Galifianakis) after the group find him abandoned in the cupboard of their hotel suite with no memory of who he got there.
The baby later turns out to be the son of Heather Graham’s character Jade, who Stu (Helms) accidentally marries.
It’s been 17 years since the release of the first film in the series and whilst the on-screen son of Heather Graham was actually played by a total of eight babies, Grant Holmquist and his twin sister Avery, managed to get most of the screen time.
Grant, who is now 18 years old, regularly posts updates on social media with fans and recently posted snaps of himself University California Los Angeles and playing the horn.
Following the success of the first film Grant reprised his role in The Hangover Part III which was released in 2013. Years later, the twins’ mother Carrie Holmquist spoke about the first day they had on set, which took place at Caesars Palace hotel.
She told TooFab: “I was so concerned with the safety and temperament of my baby, that I didn’t realise what the actors were doing and trusted their choices. It was only after the footage was in the can that the child welfare worker asked me if I was okay with the content.
“I looked at my husband, and we agreed it would’ve been nice to be asked about it prior to the scene being shot, but what was done, was done!”
At the time, she admitted that the twins had only ever seen their scenes from the film but thought that they might end up seeing the whole franchise at some point, adding: “probably once they hit high school and can appreciate some of the situation jokes more.”
Carrie also revealed at the time that her son still received royalties coming in from The Hangover III, which he used towards his education.
She added: “Grant still has money trickling in from H3 every quarter which is nice for the college fund. He only worked two days and there is an involved equation that determines the residual rates.”
