Brendan Fraser on 'Doom Patrol' Role & If He Felt Blacklisted After Sexual Assault Claims 

Yes! This is what I feel about him.

Penguinz0 Lol it’s happening

Yay Brendan!!!🎉🎶🎈☮

YES 👍😊😎!

He really deserves nothing but happiness and love

Best duo idea!! I feel they’d be good friends in real life

Add Jackie Chan into the mix

Man, I totally agree with you!

That would be a movie in itself them 2 just in a room together 😂💯

OMG YES

Alex Wu Hur I love this explanation! ❤️ he is truly such a sweet soul.

I'm autistic and i'm exactly the same way when i'm on the spot. He doesnt just blurt out whatever, he thinks about what he says. 🤗

Absolutely. He is a really considerate and thoughtful person and I think his interviews really show that.

Dumb people are the most confident. To play devil's advocate, are they really dumb if they succeed? But everyone knows the nerds are shy and the bone heads are anything but. I say this as a guy who moved approximately once a year while growing up, I was always the new kid, and I was too much of a knucklehead for the nerds and too much of a nerd for the knuckleheads

That's actually quite common in really artistic people. Especially as you grow as an artist. It's kind of a spiritual journey of tapping into others emotions. The more you can understand and respond to peoples emotions, the much better the art gets and the deeper the connection you can make with others. In interviews you can definitely tell the difference between an artist and a performer. That is not to say one is any better than the other. Both have their place and both serve their purpose. Some artists don't like the spotlight and therefore have performers perform their art for them. Some performers aren't really that talented and creating art but they're extremely good at performing it. Some are really good at both. But you can definitely spot an artist when they speak. Creative people are by far some of the most interesting people to speak to. Sadly they're also some of the most misunderstood people.

That shit was so wholesome

it also shows that he actually watches and cares about the show he's in.

Humility. Completely underrated

@@derrickp2628 💯

Yeah, he's a good person on the inside. That's why life fucked him over so good.

Brendan Fraser is a twat lol

CarPal 💯💯 ty for ur comment.

@@carlosdavid5538 the fuck did u say!? Wanker

@@iwanttobeactor4287 I said he’s a twat and so are you

@CarlosDavid thank you for my laugh lol

Absolutely

I agree with you. But you know what the issue here is? The person who apparently did this, has never stopped denying it. Also, nobody else has ever accused him of the same thing, so there can't exactly be an investigation. Think about the setting in which he said this, me too was big (still kinda is), his career had stalled badly due to him NEVER looking after his body and he had been type cast by that point, in action type roles. And after he said this, he's back in the limelight, he's even got a fan made Facebook page to try and save his career... has anyone stopped to consider that he could just be lying? The benefits to his career have been massive since he came out with it. We also need to realise that 39% of accuser turn out to be liars... 39%... out of 100 people that means 39 were lying. And we just automatically believe Brendan... no investigation, no other victims, just him... come on..

This culture of automatically believing a victim is starting to seriously get out of hand.

@@rezarfar Would you say the same if that was a woman? Stop being hypocrite, sexual assault in hollywood is a real thing, and the abuser himself confessed the crime and said that was "a joke". That's not a joke. And you're not helping either.

@@rezarfar Which part of "the abuser confessed the crime saying that it was a """joke""" you don't understand? Can you even read?

Fettuccine_Frank the best actors are the type of people that play against their real life personality

His voice was damaged in a surgery to correct spinal damage from the Mummy. He was always soft spoken, but it's gotten to be a real health concern. He's the man. He gave the audience everything including his voice.

@@MrEmperorApples his voice was not damaged during his spinal surgery. He damaged it from something else.

This personality clicks better with the modern ethos than previous.

So true! He always been cool an he will always be!

Unfortunately he sustained vocal damage during a spinal surgery from injuries from doing the Mummy movies. He gave the audience everything. It makes you appreciate all of his films even more, knowing the personal cost it took on him physically.

Unlike Cliff Steele

@@MrEmperorApples kinda blows my mind, gonna rewatch em knowing that

@@MrEmperorApples also Random but I will always love Bedazzled ..

It's also very very early doing these talk radio shows keep in mind lol but hes very humble in general yes

Blank Shape me too

Yes sir he is. Best part of the show

I thought he was in the robot suit, except for the times a energy consuming scene had to be done that included eithet fights or stunts.

"Cliff" Haha

Happy he's back and hoping this helps get him a come back. But I still feel like I need to show up at his door with beers, a hug, and moral support.

I think you need the hug, (hugs)

@Fraser, The Big Fat Fraud your negativity knows no bounds.....

He seems like a guy who would listen when you talk to him

💯

+Mads mikkelson

*soul

​@@hannibalhazmat7349 sorry bud, but no. Mads and his brother Lars are too full of them selfs *know both of them. The difference is that guys like Keanu and Bendan, they don't see them self as above others. (not saying Lars&Mads are assholes(because they were super nice to me when i was a kid, but mentally they will never reach the level of Keanu and Bendan :)) Mads and Lars both see them self as above us "regular" humans. And that makes it almost impossible to have a down to earth conversation with them. edit: not saying they are assholes, Mads spend almost a full day trying to get a Christmas present for his nephew- he probably could have called some one to fix it, but he drove around to different toys'r'us's to get what he needed.

He was great in those! (Also featuring the excellent song Hold On Hope by Guided By Voices.)

The saddest episodes

OMG yes. The first time I saw, shall we say, his final episode it was a total gut punch.

Quintin LaFoe I agree.. people over look his talent.

I cry like a baby on those 2 episodes

I felt this, so true brother!

God bless both you and whoever is reading, dont forget Jesus loves you. He died on the cross for our sins and rose three days later. Have an amazing and safe day!❤️

Johnny Depp sis the same thing. He knew his horse would be killed after he wrapped Sleepy Hollow, so he bought it and took it home with him. These are two class act human beings ❤️

@@yvettejones5323 and viggo mortensen after the Lord of the rings. One of his horses he got attached to it and it got injured and he decided to adopt it and let it retire at his place.

What about Titans?

Darren Aronofsky heard ya!

Touché...

He literally just had a 6 minite standing ovation for his role in The Wale a few days ago and everyone is saying he could easily be a frontrunner for an academy award. Fingers crossed he gets it

Heck I'd write a movie *about* him if I could!

This comment aged well

Wondered where he had been and am so glad he is happy and cool as always!

Yep ! FREE BRENDAN!!!

Is he gay?

@@killface69 i don't know, and i don't care anyway

@@aryanthvenugopal2483 good call. I only cared because I want to have sex with him.

No doubt! Brendan is the reason that when you asked 10 year old me what i wanted to be when i grow up i answered "a gunfighting archeologist" LOL!

I was raised by yetis.....

I grew up watching his movies as I tried to learn English when I first moved to the US ☺

This comment feed is so wholesome it's heartening to see.

He is in most of our childhood memories. Some of the best memories

Brendan.

Well said

Facts

Brendan Fraser: Bedazzled!!!

Except The Mummy was released in 2002.

That’s amazing that you met him. Hope you and everyone is staying safe he seems like a good soul

When was he in London comic con!?

@@Accio_Eloise July 2019 at the London film and tv show comic con

Christopher Hafertepe agreed!

Omg yessss

My favorite movie 🥰🥰

Also Bedazzled

My favorite part is when he's listening to Perry Como on the radio and says "Here's the part where it REALLY picks up". Still makes me LOL to this day

his EX Wife took his soul

Joe Cronin Show Wow! I had no idea! I just googled it. And Brendan just said she was a good mom! Probably not talking shit about her for his kids sake. Gotta respect that!

Yeah same I didn't know 😮

lisa marie7 my 27 yr old daughter has probably watched The Mummy over 5 million times! She is obsessed with it.

@@louislitt4211 I totally understand lol

It’s pronounced Robotman.

@Fraser, The Big Fat Liar. What’s sad about it?

@Fraser, The Big Fat Liar. You act like watching movies was the _only_ thing this dude did with their childhood. I’m sure they did other shit too. Besides, your name is “Fraser, The Big Fat Liar.” You obviously have some beef with him. Do you not like that everything he did wasn’t “School Ties” or “Gods and Monsters”? Did he take your girlfriend in high school?You realize Ian McKellan praised his performance in the latter right? I think I’ll take _his_ word over some obviously buttmad dude on the internet.

I was growing up during the time when he was in these hugely successful, often family friendly films constantly and I just remember the fact that everyone was enjoying them. I'm in my late twenties now and my dad passed a few years back and watching some of Frasier's films that I remember from my childhood bring back the fond memories of my dad like which jokes he'd laugh at the most. It's funny how some films will stick with you like that, even if they're just goofy slapstick comedies.

@@stinks7065 💯💯💯

Voice actor *

@@elismoothie8896 he does real acting on thr show as well, not just voicing.

Still acting... alot of body language and mannerisms used in the show

He’s exactly why I started watching Doom Patrol! He is fantastic!

Guy is one of the best and most underrated actors of the last 20 years *legit*

I hope he sees all the support he gets online

the alimony is over. Ended, the age of JUST has

K Korona Hush, it’s not a gender thing, it’s a human thing. People are people, let go of your hate.

Bredan seems like a humble guy

The lone rangers

Awesome!!!!

Me too :)

Amen. He deserves nothing but success after the hell his ex-wife put him through. It hurts to hear that trauma in his voice, but in these recent interviews of his it seems like he's starting break out of his shell a little better.

@The Truth v Brendan Fraser Disagree. Because he's phenomenally talented, has been in the industry and paid his metaphoric dues, is a genuinely kindhearted and humble man and Aronofsky's project will let his talent truly, deeply shine.

Damn you were right!

David Lee his exwife had her boot on his neck thats what happened

@@DarrenDior and then had a bunch of sexual assault claims

@@MIKEYTATE88 A female tactic

What about now? Is he still paying alimony?

You can see the pain in his face:( shit hurts me. Glad this is all over for him!

Dude has been through some hell.

What kind of hell?

He had his vocal cords replaced I guess. I just heard that.

@@Fnelrbnef He really destroyed his body doing his own stunts for the mummy films. He's had multiple surgeries, even a spinal surgery and was in and out of the hospital for like, 7 years I think he said. Not to mention the sexual assault. He's also said that he was battling depression because of that, and his divorce and the death of his mother.

Blast from the Past is a great underrated movie

I remember buying that movie on pay-per-view without my mom's permission 20 years ago 😅

Blast from my ass lmfao I used to say that alot growning up good movie lmfao I still listen to random songs and tell people this is where it takes off Haha and do the finger dance hahaha

Lol

Encino Man

Airheads

Bedazzled for sure

Monkey bone has always been a guilty pleasure for me, it's such an insane fucking film

Don't forget "School Ties" with Matt damon. Underrated gem.

Better than school ties?

Linkovich Chamalski all the way bro

Loved the mummy. Saw it multiple times in the theatre and countless times at home.

That movie is such a classic and Rick was so hot.

@Duke Damage I agree, good actor but I do think the potential for great is there now that he's going for more nuanced roles and can't really do the action star thing.

@Duke Damage He was amazing in Scrubs.

@Duke Damage Watch him in "The Condor" series. He is a great actor. He just tends to get parts that are not heavy on the drama so it does not shine through.

Gods and Monsters... it would be nice to see him in more roles (period) and better projects that challenge him.

toxic AVALANCHE patience.. it’s coming. You can see in his face he’s still hurt so things will come to him in time. He’s a gem.

He wasn't always introverted.

Yeah his ex taking all his money and the kids crippled him psychologically.

@@christopherstone4336 he has always been a extroverted introvert. He plays up the larger than life characters of some of his films as part of his job, but really is shy and inwardly nervous. He's spoken about this in various interviews. He has also suffered from depression throughout his life, not just with divorce and career stalling. Cheers.

He is Awesome Jesus loves you man❤️

Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from ya'll. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗

@BRENDAN FRASER I'm watching from the north east of Scotland.

@BRENDAN FRASER no sorry. Stay positive.

nigelcarren Jeff goldblum.... that guy isn’t even on this planet anymore. Lol they are definitely socially awkward in very different ways. Brendan is reserved and shy and goldblum is out of his mind. Lol

Hey@@Myserieden should I be worried that I have always thought of Jeff Goldblum as just a sweet level-headed normal guy? Perhaps this explains why I can count my friends on only two fingers... and BAD LUCK mate, you are one of them, which reminds me... Can I borrow your lawnmower later please? 😂

I thought the same for Jeff Goldblum! It was welcome to see him back in cinema!

Wtf u doing in a French forest bro

Hey@@raphythemighty2613 , like a big eejut, I sold everything and bought a giant ruin of a house in said forest then moved here! As it turned out, this was a stupid idea. I really have gone quite mad... please send chocolate and warm socks URGENTLY! Tell your EVAC chopper pilot to watch for my flare! On the plus side however, I am now unhappy in two languages. 😂😂🚁 Best wishes from me (and all the mice in the workshop).

It's understandable with what he's been through but glad he's coming back with more confidence

You never lied

So weird and surreal, I love it.

Doom Patrol really shocked me. It's definitely a good show

If they make a second movie I could totally see him being Uncle shazam/ Uncle Marvel/ Uncle dudley

Honestly his performance On the Mummy should have earned a golden glone nod!

He is blacklisted by Hollywood I guess

Wow yeah. Wow he would have been perfect. Thinking about it he may have been THE most perfect person ever for that role.

I think he gave that movie a hundred and ten percent.

He wanted to do good, he hoped he'd do good and I think he did pretty good.

Monkeybone!

...that sunset is so beautiful

Cocoina, IT'S COCOINA!!! Aohhh Mierda, "I am a Columbian Drug Lord"..... "RHEOOOOOUULLL!" gives new so much satisfaction in life!

100%.

Andreas Nordvall that comment makes zero sense yet I can’t tell you why you’re not wrong.

How can something so wrong sound so right ?

That makes no sense and the most sense at the same time

Random but I can dig it

Perfect

I agree. You can't help but sympathize for Cliff.

He's freaking hilarious on Doom Patrol. He's me fave character!

Brendan Fraser swearing is so cool its like What The Fuuuuck

“Es cocaina….aye miede!!!”

Hey Benny! Looks to me like you’re on the wrong side of the Riverrrrr!

Sick Of It classic!!!!!

KARL!!

Yes it is amazing show

He had surgery on his throat :(
