Brendan Fraser dominated the box office in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits such as George of the Jungle, dazzledand two of best action movies always, The Mummy Yes The mummy returns. But in the 2010s, Fraser wasn’t being offered the same kind of starring roles and his star seemed to fade away. Well, she’s finally back and playing a role that seems to define her career. by Darren Aronofsky The whale. Fraser’s performance received much praise, including a six minutes of emotional standing ovation during the screening of the film at the Venice Film Festival. After the screening, man Mummy Alum Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson retweeted a video captured at the festival sharing sweet memories of the Mummy instrument. And now Fraser shares memories of him behind the scenes.
while recovering Varietythe actor responded to a quote from Dwayne Johnson, who said so he wants to see Fraser win an Oscar for his performance in The whale. The empty head the actor said it was nice of Johnson join the fans in cheering for his return to Hollywood before diving into a hilarious behind-the-scenes making-of story The mummy returns. According to Fraser, although he and Johnson’s character shared screen time in the 2001 action-adventure film, the two actors had never met before a reception:
I thought it was very nice of you. The first time I met him was at the reception after The Return of the Mummy. We hadn’t met in person before, even though we were fighting on screen. But every time I worked with him, it was just a piece of duct tape on a stick. So it was nice to say, ‘Hey, man. How are you? We finally meet! ‘… I could take it. I could take it, it’s just a piece of duct tape on a stick!
I think we all agree that Brendan Fraser could take The Rock. Well, ok, maybe not. But I could definitely get that piece of duct tape on a stick! But let’s be honest, he’s too nice and he’d probably let the gang win.
Dwayne Johnson Mummy The character, the Scorpion King, was made famous as a full CGI character in the third act of the film. He is commonly accepted as one of worst special effects compromised with the screen , which explains why he and his co-star never met until the film finished production. Even though the two have never spent time together in front of the camera, it’s nice to see the camaraderie they can still share.
It has been debated whether Brendan Fraser’s limited presence on the big screen over the past decade was his choice. He previously filed a sexual harassment allegation against Philip Berk, former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, claiming that Berk attempted him at an event in 2003. Berk remained a member of the HFPA until he was expelled from group in 2021 after his emails. were revealed to his peers, suggesting that Black Lives Matter is a “racist hate movement”. Despite the controversy, Fraser rejected claims that he was blacklisted.
Clearly the time has come for Brendan Fraser’s triumphant return to Hollywood and, like all his other fans, I support the actor. We’ll see if the actor wins the gold statue and will be able to deliver the speech Dwayne Johnson is waiting for.
