It's been 11 years since the comedy "The Hangover" first hit theaters in 2009.
Some of the cast, like Bradley Cooper and Ken Jeong, has gone on to star in critically acclaimed movies.
Others, including Sasha Barrese, have backed away from the entertainment industry.
Since the film, and its sequels, Ed Helms has starred in more hit comedies, and Zach Galifianakis has found success on TV.

Stars like Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ken Jeong became household names after the success of "The Hangover" back in 2009.

The hit comedy — which follows the story of Doug (Justin Bartha) and three friends (Cooper, Ed Helms, and Galifianakis) as they head to Las Vegas for a bachelor party gone wrong — launched several of the cast members' careers and led to lucrative second and third installments.

Here's what the cast of "The Hangover" is up to now, 11 years later.

Bradley Cooper played Philip "Phil" Wenneck, the childhood best friend of the groom-to-be.
