Heather Graham can't resist the lure of Brazil's beach as she stays in Rio after Hangover III tour


Turquoise dream: Heather Graham can't resist the lure of Brazil's beach as she stays in Rio after Hangover III tour

She's had a whirlwind month of interviews and premieres after jetting all over the world to promote
The Hangover Part III.
So Heather Graham can be forgiven for wanting a little bit of relaxation time, spending Saturday sunning herself on the beach in a turquoise bikini.
Deciding to stay in the Brazilian paradise after her work commitments were over, the 43-year-old showed off her unbelievably toned figure as she mingled with holidaymakers.

While many of her co-stars jetted home after the premiere earlier in the week, Heather decided to stick around to make the most of her time in South America.
    And the Boogie Nights star clearly had the beach in mind, heading straight down to the sea after stripping down to the skimpy two-piece.
    Obviously a keen swimmer, the blonde actress ducked under the water, emerging moments later as she made her way back to her sunbed.

    Taking advantage of her last few days in the city, Heather was spotted on a bicycle tour of the city on Friday, soaking up the sights as she whizzed around.
    The blonde beauty kept it casual for the sporty outing, stretching out her long legs in a pair of cut-off denim shorts and grey trainers. 
    The Austin Powers actress was joined by friends and a few members of her security detail for the leisurely ride. 
    She tossed up her hair into a ponytail, which she had also tucked under a red sports cap.

    The Wisconsin-born actress kept covered up in a pair of oversized sunglasses as she watched the sun fade away along the picturesque Atlantic coast.
    And as night drew close and the cooler autumn temperatures set in, the Boogie Nights star added on a red and white zip-up hoodie.
    Heather, alongside co-stars Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms, has been on a media blitz promoting the release of the new film, which opened to audiences in Brazil on Friday.
    In a recent interview with the Daily Beast Heather admitted that when it first came out the rest of the cast were virtual unknowns.
    'I just remember going to the London premiere and nobody knew anyone in the film but me!' 
    Further to do: The film's release is staggered for the next month, so Heather's surely got more cities to travel to

    'And now, those guys are SO huge.' she said.
    After being snubbed in The Hangover Part II, Heather has reprised her role as stripper Jade for the third film, and seems to have been showing everyone what they've been missing.
    Speaking about playing a stripper, Heather recently said: ‘I'm pretty boring in my real life. I don't really drink, I'm not that wild, so it's fun to play these wild characters on screen.’

    And she revealed that she wasn't too disappointed when she wasn't asked back from the second film.
    'I was bummed that Jade and Stu didn’t end up together because I’m a romantic, and I thought that was a very sweet story.' she said.
    Adding: 'But for The Hangover Part III, basically Todd just emailed me and said I was in it, and I was like, “Yay!” and he sent me the [the script].'
