Brendan Fraser on The Whale, Being Favored to Win an Oscar & Airheads Stunts with Adam Sandler 

Agree!!

His performance in the movie is amazing. I hope he gets it.

Definitely deserves it.

Did he really gain all that weight for whale

@@emilyl1804 u sing le?

he looks amazing!! so happy for him

@Fun Times so, you wanted to mention his hair because?

@@YoungBlaze I guess he mentioned it, because the one that made this post specifically mentioned the HAIR, as being a part of his “better looking” appearance. So in that light.

@@YoungBlaze Jeez you’re not the brightest are you.

@@funtimes315 Unless he got a follicle transplant, its about $5000 so he could probably afford it

much love and appreciation great fans for the support all the years,you are the best.

❤️

Maria Vanglider Does that include the little green men and the men in the white coats?

@@ifyouonlyknew811 I'd be interested to know as to know what you mean by that?

@@susanneary4165 Brendan's fans are the most naive, unworldly, childlike people I have ever cone across. I'd love to know the age range and education level of all of you. You have no grasp of sarcasm, innuendo, or alluding to anything. It all just goes over your heads. You truly don't know what I meant by little green men (aliens) and men in white coats (insane asylum employees)? Really? Those hospitals Brendan was in and out of for 7 years were mental hospitals! Why can't anyone tell just by looking at him?

❤️

I am rooting for him. It would be a shame if he doesn't get it.

Nah I wanna see Tom Hardy win it

HE WON! HE DID IT!

@@brendanfraser1096 I'm SO happy he won!! More than deserved! ❤️❤️❤️

Same! He is so genuine and humble. I will always have a special place in my heart for Brendan Fraser. I grew up with him! We all grow older and it’s like the older he gets I grow with him. ❤

U wot m8? He made a comeback in 2020 lol.

He never left , we never forgot about him

@@AightYooo was he in a movie before the whale ?

Same

He's Canadian. That's why he's such a nice guy.

nah, that’s nick cage. still a great guy, both of them even

He's ours, 🇨🇦 . You can't have him. We bought him fair and square.

*International.

With his size he will be Mount Rushmore of his own.

86 kid here and "Blast from the Past" and "George of the Jungle" are my childhood.

That is definitely what’s happened. He was so many millennials favorite actor as a child, myself included. I have seen Encino Man about 300 times.

80s 😁

​@@jordanbridges 86 here as well. Ditto.

@@tiffanymoore1795 are we old yet? When do we become adults?

Before now I had only ever seen him in George of the Jungle, and the Mummy movies. Always assumed he was a meathead like the Rock, so pleasantly surprised to learn he's such a kind, intelligent soul. Just saw The Whale yesterday and it was heartwrenching. Perfect balance of light/dark humor, and hitting you in the feels.

I missed seeing Brendan Fraser a lot!! Encino Man is a 90’s gem 💎

He has that genuine, smiling eyes XD, like Private from the penguins of Madagascar; same kind of wholesomeness.

He was in the Mummy

Been a fan right from the beginning. Encino Man and School Ties. My favorites as a teenager.

For sure!♥️🎄

@@KH-nt7ej I still love California Man now!

That's how he's humble and down-to-earth type of guy.

much love and appreciation great fans for the support all the years,you are the best.

❤️

​@@brendanfraser1096 ❤️

you said what my hearts screaming ty :}

I couldn't have said it better. Thank you.

Still on repeat for me. It's always been a comfort movie for me, just takes me back to a time I'll never be able to re-live.

My immigrant mother lived for the trilogy. She loves him

Same!

That was the movie that made me a fan of him. He was my hs crush for years. Makes me soooo happy he’s finally getting the recognition that he deserves 🥺

Just watched it AGAIN the other week - love him :)

😊

absolutely

@Queen Of Swords Thank you immensely for mentioning an outstanding attribute of this brilliant actor, Brendan Fraser, that I forgot to include in my comment. This very talented person has always been so genuinely humble while always giving due credit to his fellow actors, the writers and all the other talent that facilitate, when it does come together, such brilliantly complex and subtley nuanced exceptional performance by this premier actor of a generation! We all, I'm sure, hope that he gets only the best written scripts and finely detailed productions forevermore so that he will be able to continue to achieve such timelessly memorable acting experiences!

Have been thinking the same thing! He is really someone who would do the most with opportunities and do well with them. Excited for his future!

Agreed! So glad to see him back on the big screen.

Just the way he talked about this character, you could tell it meant so much to him. He really loves and appreciates the art of acting and film. Looking forward to whatever other characters he wants to introduce to us.

I hope so too. I don't want "The Whale" to be a one-off or a consolation prize.

@Deep Cut Reactions auto correct. Thanks

@@Belladonna313 he doesn’t read here

Also by us that were born in the late 80's and grew up in the 90's.

His comeback was inevitable, he's humble and an awesome actor.

I'm glad everyone knows what this guy means to all of us He was our childhood part of those "good old days"

He was serious drama before the comedy. the man has done it all professionally.

90s Adult girls toooo

So will 2020s kids if the Brenaissance continues on its current trajectory

@Darryl Walker how can jew forget School Ties?!?!

@Darryl Walker Loveeee School ties

That's a really good point. Depression is a silent killer, and brendan has been winning a war with it every single day since the 2000s. Sometimes life just gives the worst end of the stick to some people and brendan couldn't be any less deserving of its wrath. People who surmount Mt everest get the recognition, but if someone is clawing and scratching their way out of an everest-sized pit, we as a society fail to recognize this as the achievement as it is, and I feel like brendan is a perfect example of someone who forced us to recognize it through sheer will. If brendan doesn't win that Oscar for his amazing performance, I have no faith in Hollywood, especially after it did him so dirty.

TheWhale ❤👍

AUSTIN BUTLER FOR ELVIS 💙🙏

​@@joannemurdock7899 Have to disagree. Brendan did amazing. I saw both movies.

one of my all time favorite actors! welcome back!

🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

@Scatt so?

Absolutely. He is a pure soul full of humility, almost to a fault. That being said, he deserves to shine with all of these accolades, and more!

you nailed it!

Well said, this dude has worked with legends, starred as leading man in massive blockbusters, and is a household name, no one knows Sadie from anything but Stranger Things.. what a man.

@Scatt "Child actor " means her fan base is pretty much teenagers and kids. That's what he meant.

❤️

He literally has no competition. They might as well give him the Oscar right now.

@@lilmilontiktok He won't attend the Oscars. The people who harrassed him are very much still involved.

@@MortalHuman it really sucks he can’t enjoy his success because the people who preyed on him are still out and about. Honestly, that person (or people) should be treated like Harvey Weinstein. SA hurts survivors to their core and to not get justice just because he’s a man is completely unfair.

​@@ophelias4172 Men are not valued like women in our culture. Boys are taught from a very young age to suppress their feelings, and the way they feel is not important and that their urges are wrong. The schools treat them like broken girls. Girls are the focus and are taught to express their feelings and are given special programs in schools to progress. Much of the messenging to our boys are to suck it up and provide and that men who can not provide financially are losers. Men's lives are sacrificed in time of war, while women are not eligible for a draft. So even our government value women's lives more. In cases of divorce , our courts are stacked against men and they most often lose their financial wellbeing and their children. Women get custody. Men get visits. Men's homeless shelters do not provide for men with children. Only women's shelters allows a safe space to be homeless with children. So you better not get into trouble as a homeless dad, there is nowhere to go if you want to keep your children. The vast majority of drug overdoses in our country are men and 75% of all suicides are men... You read that right..75%. You can look that statistic up. That is because men's mental health and wellbeing are not the focus of this society and they were tought from a young age to suck it up, push forward, and it is weak let feelings out. Men are supposed to be strong. Men's feelings, and their very lives are not as valuable as women's in our culture regardless of what feminists may yell out. I would label our society a gynocentric patriarchy. Yes it is run by men, but it's focus is our women and their wellbeing. We take care of our women as good men should. Now I'm sure I'll recieve a lot of hate for this post, but you can do your own research and make your own judgments. Some opinions are blurred by social agendas, but this is really the way it is. Men have never had it better, and there is a reason they die younger. Anyway, Brendan's feelings, welbeing and mental health do not matter to the MeToo groups out there and they certainly don't matter to the rest of society. Men are easily sacrificed and are disposable.

@@lilmilontiktok it’s him or Austin butler

He was in the Mummy

He was a robot

sounds like you are describing JDEPP I wonder if they are friends?

He does, and much happier and healthier. Best he's looked in 15 years. What a champ. Love the bloke.

What actually happened to him? I am out of the loop

@@BBCBOY919 Mostly his wife broke him and made him pay $600k a year in alimony/child support, but he also had issues with his back and needing surgeries, as well as with his career after he alleged sexual support in Hollywood. This affected his mental health tremendously and you can see it in his interviews at the time. It's so nice to see him in much higher spirits.

@@Cookieboy70 Just to clarify, cause you worded it in a weird way - he was sexually assaulted by president of Hollywood Press Association. When he spoke out about it, he got blacklisted by major studios.

See the Whale, power performances from the entire cast

Mine too. My favorite is Blast From The Past.

❤️

Why am I the only one who wants to give Brendan a massive hug for being the perfect human he is!!

@@rugrat-pb2oc I want to hug him too haha

Honestly im glad he's losing weight cause he was getting bigger I think at some point and I got worried cause of course it can cause issues but I worried cause of his back issues from the past. Maybe he can't work out so much (of course he can diet too) because of the back stuff but by the looks of it he's fine. He looks great

@Brendan Fraser scammer. Asking everybody for their name and telegram. This is a faker people. Not the real Fraser. The real Fraser will not go on the internet asking people's name.

@@bearstrengthwithin He's going by the name of Dwayne Johnson now ;P It's kinda sad tbh.

“As a 90s kid” ☝️🤓

@@ShupU12 I second what he said.

@@ShupU12 ??????

I'm glad that he made his comeback by working with the right filmmaker, this year is Darren Aronofsky in The Whale, next year it's Martin Scorsese for Killers of the Flower Moon. So yeah his career seems bright in the future

Honestly I liked his movies a lot as kid and didn’t know why he disappeared. I thought he just decided like many actors after major success early on to just chill didn’t know something bad happened to him, can you elaborate?

​@@HiveMind629 Couple of things, he had injuries from The Mummy movies which resulted in several surgeries over 7 years. He was allegedly sexually assaulted and presumably blacklisted by the then president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Phillip Berk. Even though it's only alleged, it's clear his offers started drying out then, as expected with that kind of thing, and came back after Me Too

I loved The Whale. I loved it the way Philip Berk loved Brendan Fraser.

@@JachAnen you forgot to mention about the horrible divorce settlemen

He’s probably a little nervous because he hasn’t done talk shows in a while

It’s such a stunning film to make as your comeback on film

@@chrisbenettiare XD 2a you

If you find out about the particulars of what his wife did to him in his divorce I would think he identifies a lot with that character

I think he is connected to his movie character AND also his voice, it kinda cracks and has inflections a lot.

He did! Next step: Oscar WIN! 😁

He will win it no doubt

He actually won❤

@@djkarthik768 Yes! Hosted an Oscar party last night and was thrilled 😁

So true. Nice to see down to earth and good actors do well.

What’s up with Kimmel, Fallon, Meyers, and Colbert all being total smug liberals?? Oh because it’s trendy even though you’re not in high school anymore. Just an old brainwashed talking head.

Actually there are a lot of actors and actresses whose careers have spanned decades so this is false.

It didn't last "this long" though? He hadn't even been acting for a long time because of personal circumstances. So for you to falsely claim he's always been acting is ignorant.

❤️🥰

I loved him in Encino Man, Mrs Winterbourne etc

Airheads was great

School Ties was a fantastic film also.

@@rebeccawalker268 OMG I completely forgot about that one🤦😔 Yeah I LOVED him in School Ties, though I didn’t see it as a kid

Don't forget Dudley do right!

Have loved him since Encino Man!!!

@Brendan Fraser are you really brendan fraser..?

@@AnonymousUser27 omg if it is actually him 😍❤️🤩🥳!

@@janelcornejo8597 ikr if its him im subscribing!! Grew up watching his movies!

The Rock got his mojo from being near him as the scorpion king

@StepLo well said. Very well said. He was the adventure man I loved watching myself. I like The Rock but they make him do cocky things. Mark Walhberg too. They are so over confident where is Brendan was down to earth. He even proves that by saying he likes to go to places like comic con to give back to the people who made him where he is today. You don't hear actors say that. Truly a hero in my book.

I was thinking the same thing! I felt so bad because I know how it feels

❤️

Yes, but he's doing it. He's really great. So proud of him.

His nervousness is decreasing with each appearance as well. I've been noticing that too. Makes me so happy for him.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was sexually assaulted… along the way. As a woman, I’ve seen these types of men lose themselves to that kind of stuff.

@@LovelyLadyLocks childhood actor for many dipshit

@@LovelyLadyLocks many meaning I and others

Colin Farrell deserves an Oscar not Brendan Fraser get real

💯 I’m rooting hard for him ❤

He's on the Internet Stan List now. Along with Keanu Reeves. Be mean to Brendan and we will FIND YOU.

@@emilysalzer1316 I’ll bring my pitch fork 😮

@@emilysalzer1316 let's go Brandon!

@@emilysalzer1316 😂🤣😂🤣 ikr

@@dhurley8522 i'll bring my pencil .

It’s called PTSD.

Along with battering his body by doing his own stunts, somewhere along the line he damaged his vocal chords too.

It's called being nervous. Calm your drama.

@@photoninjazz587 It's not drama. It's reality. He stated it another interview.

Been through ???? Rich as fook

He was sexually assaulted by a person of power and when he talked about it people in hollywood treated him like s**t

I mean all he went through was getting grabbed by some guy probably in a messing around manner. He has had a good life id say

People keep saying this. What exactly has he been through besides not getting roles for awhile? Honestly asking.

@@user-gr7dv2by4b people are saying he's rich. That's BS he got dragged through the mud by his ex wife who got a ridiculous settlement which left him broke and she didn't stop there, she lied about him constantly and never stopped trying to ruin his reputation

❤️

Much love and appreciation great fans for the support all the years, you are the best.

Happy to see him blessed. What a good human being. May he have continued success.

He was in the Mummy

Thank you

much love and appreciation great fans for the support all the years,you are the best.

❤️

🥰❤️

He's been back for awhile on DOOM PATROL and absolutly fantastic.

What happened to him?

@@Valdagast He was sexually assaulted by the head of the Hollywood Foreign Press. It is why he will not be attending the Golden Globes.

Remembered the creep's name: Philip Berk

@Valdagast He was sexually assaulted by a Hollywood exec, and when he tried to speak up about it, a stunt on The Mummy 3 "accidentally" went wrong and screwed his body up for years. Eventually, he stopped acting for his mental health until recent years

I believe you forgot encino man.

DONT YOU EVER FORGET ENCINO MAN!!! WEASING THE JUICE FOREVER!

@@kenyanish3581 yes! Yes! Encino man, "school ties" 😍, crash, blast from the past, Airheads was 😂. All his movies were so good...that's why I wrote many more.

I loved Dudley Do Right as well. Not well known but hilariously corny .

@@Victoria-sl7kyyes! I grew up watching dudley do right. Definitely not his best but still good 😅

Same I had a huge crush on him in that film(he was 29 when he did that film.

I liked Encino Man and School Ties

With Honors is another good film. If you haven’t seen it, check it out ❤

We're rooting for him. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

He was in the Mummy

The Mummy films and George of the Jungle were a big part of my childhood too.

Is he doing the killers of the flower moon movie?! ❤

@@naomibee8881 Yes.

Scorsese sucks.

Yes, Aronofsky tends to give actors their best performances.

That movie was filmed two years ago. When's it coming out? We don't even have a trailer yet!

❤️

Anna Gentle, as in wuss.

Not cheesy at all. Growing up as the middle-child and introvert, Michael Jackdon was and forever remains my friend and mentor and angel. I felt connected to him and his pain of being teased by his family as I was too. Nothing cheesy as long as you are idolizing then as PERFECT UNFLAWED ONE. :))

Sorry your dad left. :(( Remember, some betrays by leaving and some remains but betrays. At least, you saw his honest self early on. Take care, Michael.

Cheesy dude

💗

I know exactly how you feel. My mother left us when I was 6 years old. She had bright red hair, so I imagined Peggy Bundy (Katey Sagal) was my mother. 🥰
