Brendan Fraser Explains How The Whale Depicts Obesity Accurately 

Because toxic Hollywood made him think everyone thought like they did

I think the same. I really hope he internalises just now much his audience loves him. He’s absolutely adorable and stunning actor.

He seems so incredibly kind and sweet. He seems to have this deep ache of emptiness and I just want to hug him.

@@chellepatino1675 what happened

Literally a generation or two lol 😊

one of the few genuine ones who spoke against Harvey Weinstein before his demise, and was canned for it. career ruined, emotional pain inflicted, ostracized by the others. Well now that Harvey is in jail, where are all the people that kept their mouth shut and betrayed Brendan? Hollywood only willing to fix their image by giving diverse victims new opportunities. Everyone has forgot the real OG Brendan. Well not anymore, he is back.

so good to see him doing good

How they treated back in the day really was unforgivable

@@zuffin1864 what did they do

@@AEthelingg he was going through a divorce, and at the same time was sexually assaulted by someone higher up (cant remember his name rn, but he was someone very important), then Hollywood went on to blacklist him i.e not allowing him to have any starring lead roles in movies, they also didn't allow him to talk about what was happening bts, nor was he allowed to attend any future events... (The Grammys, Oscars, ect.)

Check out his GQ post of his going over his career films. He literally does the same thing, praising others on every one of films. He's just awesome, and I'm so glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.

‘Being nice is the easiest thing in the world’… and yet you still fail at it.

@haroldpaulle5915 yeah you’re right. None of us have EVER said what a great actor he is.. 🙄

@Harold Paulle You be an actor then. Oh wait, you're a nobody...

@haroldpaulle5915if its so easy to be nice then why aren’t more people like that? 🙄

Fraserissance!

@@jonbaxter2254 or the Brenaissance Either way we are here for it🙌🏾🙌🏾

I can't wait to see what he has next, too! And if, at some point "next" is "I need to do other things" I am totally ready for that, so long as it is about his happiness and wellness.

Brenaissance!

It was a fat suit and prosthetics

It's like we have the old Brendan back.

Me too. I had the biggest crush on him

He was gaining weight for his role in The Whale.

He no longer has leading man looks, but the charisma remains.

One thing I've seen consistent with his interviews is that he always calls out and praises the names of actors with whom he's worked with. He never just sits back and bathes in the praise the interviewer provides.

He has always been the guy to bring others up when he gets complimented

He's like this with everything. He is a genuinely good person 🥰

He's a lot like Keanu in that regard.. quality blokes, the both of 'em!

@@phattjohnson Now I can say the two best celebrities - Keanu Reeves AND Brendan Frasier.

well said

I'm not much into physical physique as a hetero female.......but I think he looks so attractive now as a slightly more mature actor. I hate commenting on that because obviously people are so much more than their looks .....but he is GORGOUSE.

ONG

Yesss ❤

Both men literally have hears of pure gold . Amazing inside and out . Very rare in Hollywood. I'm so glad Brendan is back !

💯

@@kriswuzright1096 btw, why was kris right? just curry.

Exactly! These are my exact thoughts! I have been a long time fan of both!

They both come across as incredibly genuine and thoughtful people who care a lot about others :)

Protecting too many people already sorry

Protect everyone at all costs. Celebraties aren't special.

OMY is RODNEY DANGERFIELD ! MAking Back to School (1986) ONE MORE TIME !

Until he says one wrong thing or he's doing too well, then we turn on him and destroy him.

who are you even taking to

Yes!

Seth gets too little credit as an interviewer.

Seth is a very good host.

I thought the same thing about Seth. He let him really explain the film which seems like a rarity with a lot of talk show hosts.

So true - such a brilliant interview. I wish he went on a bit longer.

@Ernie H and then there are Selena gomez and Haileys fans

​@@mnaga9625 Yeah, Selena from Wizard of Weatherly hills or something and who's the other 1?

So true. I remember being obsessed with The Mummy as a kid, and lately I keep rewatching Blast From the Past with my own kid. It's incredible to see him being so well received lately and getting the recognition he deserves

Encino Man!! 💕💕 I had such a childhood crush on him.

I was so sad that The Journey to the Center of the Earth flopped because it was a decent movie and his co-star Anita Briem left her role on The Tudors as Jane Seymour to star in it. It destroyed her career, very sad because she's a talented and beautiful actor.

I barely remember the Mummy and have not seen anything else he's in. But holy hell is he good in this, 9.5/10 minimum.

His movies from the 90s sucked

Yes.

This comment is under every interview of a celebrity on a late night show

@@frblaze2 Ok

@@PythiaHiereia dont say ok

a humble king

Your comment confused me! In British English that wouldn’t be a compliment: - BRITISH something that is strange or unpleasant to look at But apparently in American English it is indeed a compliment: - someone or something that you are very pleased to see

@@Brinta3 That's not right at all. In British English saying something is a sight for sore eyes is something that is very pleasant to see. It's the same in both countries - the pleasing/beautiful subject makes the eyes feel better.

@@rambatam As a brit, sight for sore eyes is not a good thing, without looking into the etymology. From Wiltshire

@@InspectahPatio Also a Brit. It did have a negative meaning (synonymous with eyesore) but that's no longer really common usage.

He's not attractive in the slightest.

I loved him in Encino Man. But, maybe because it made me so nostalgic for the SF Valley.

I've lost count of how many times I've watched Bedazzled.

Huh. Who cares about George of the Jungle? Bedazzled is a TREASURE and he should’ve be forever revered for it!

He will ALWAYS be Rick from the Mummy series to me, I dont know how many times ive watched those B movie wonders as a kid but i will say Bedazzled is Amazing, though i shouldnt have watched that as a kid.

My first introduction to him was Encino Man. Loved that movie when I was younger. Also loved Airheads, The Mummy series, Bedazzled and Blast From the Past.

His last appearance in Scrubs, when you realise the reality (even though I'd spotted something was off) completely broke me. He kinda got lumbered and typecast with dumb comedy and action roles but he was always so much better than that. It's great to see him in something where he can show that again.

We're rewatching scrubs and just recently watched those episodes! They're so good and he makes it so good as Ben.

@@cheyenne6913 I’ve been rewatching Scrubs too and recently finished the last “Ben” episode!

@@Elwaves2925 when I first saw the episode when it first aired years ago…I remember asking my boyfriend “where’s his camera/why’d he stop taking pictures all of a sudden?” But I wasn’t expecting his death.

@@kmsleyang8972 Yeah, I hadn't picked up on the camera but I had started wondering why no one else was directly interacting with him. I shook it off as me being silly.

He talked more about other people than himself, constantly saying "we". That's like the complete opposite of most other actors.

He's not national treasure. He's international treasure. There are videos and comments in various languages adoring him as the Hollywood star who fills the happy childhood of 90s and 2000s generations around the world.

True Felicia

He's already been having his comeback for a number of years now and its great to see :)

Thank you .I used to be an extremely good looking slim fit toxic person but was living in Chaos struggling with mental health issues….now on the right medications and therapy I’m a successful, happy mother of 2, but struggling with weight issues from the medication I’m on. Which would I rather ???????

Mental Health & Addiction are two areas that we as a society & community are still failing, we are just not putting enough money & time into them. Food addiction is a real addiction, I know because I had it. I have been overweight most of my life & it wasn't until I worked on my addiction to food that I began to see results, lose weight & keep it off. For people with kids, two jobs, not enough money coming in, loads of bills, medical issues etc it can be really hard to tackle such an addiction, there needs to be more money & resources put into these areas to assist people. My sister is a nurse so I know what nurses have to deal with on a daily basis for stuff all pay & no recognition so let me end this by saying a massive thank you for everything you do! Nurses really are the superhero's in our world!

My parents would guilt me into eating more as a kid which lead to an unhealthy weight. My dad would gaslight me into finishing off his food because 'we're poor and it can't go to waste' even if I didn't want to eat. My husband taught me that I didn't have to eat all of my meals if I didn't want to and I'm a lot healthier for it.

Oh stfu. Stop making excuses for these people. I've been poor and depressed and I'm not obese.

Drugs and alcohol ?

@Brendan Fraser for about 30 years now!

Couldn't agree more..ahead of its time plus all the characters really took us to that adventure of the mysterious Egypt

@@Robbie_S Agree The Mummy Series of Movies and StarGate Series really do bring the adventures of the mysterious Egypt and Egyptian Gods

Keanu is Canadian don't insult him please

Yea, speak for yourself.

Hugh Jackman too!
