What the fuck was that?

He got blacklisted from Hollywood years ago after being sexually assaulted by the President of the Hollywood foreign press and got his first big break again so people are cheering for him

The mummy is one of the greatest movies ever made. I'll never not root for him

The Mummy could be one of my favourite top 10 movies, and he was excellent in it. Truly welcome his return!

The Mummy was great, and he's great in Doom Patrol.

Didn't his ex wife basically bankrupt him too?
Yoboman

Yeah he had to pay alimony based on his peak earnings when he wasn't getting roles anymore. Sent him broke
Then everyone was making those sad Brendan Fraser memes of him the week after his dad died
He seems like a great bloke who everyone has treated like shit

It was California Man for me, but same. Seems like he's a good dude that got taken advantage of.

Did he get fat for Doom Patrol?

It’s a shame, it feels like we’ve been robbed of so many good Brendan Fraser movies, and let’s not forget his time on Scrubs.

I chuckled at Jungle Cruise desperately trying to be The Mummy. And failing.

That’s what always comes to mind for me, I love that storyline. Makes a little guest appearance once, then reappears a year later for that story. Genius. And he’s perfect in it.It’s a shame, it feels like we’ve been robbed of so many good Brendan Fraser movies, and let’s not forget his time on Scrubs.
Trivia I got from the Scrubs podcast: he’s genuinely into photography, and that’s his own camera he uses. He got Zach Braff into photography after that.

The Rock seems to fill that family friendly action guy role but not as good as Brenden Fraser was

Wow, I had to look him up because I didn't recognize him. I've thought he was a talented actor, but for some reason not an actor that I ever feel interested in watching. Just a matter of taste I guess.
That being said, I didn't watch the video. What happened to him that took him away from the screen for so long?

not tag worthy
Brendan is a better actor, he isn’t built like a tank so would work better in family friendly films. The rock is a charismatic man. But I feel he is playing the rock all the time.

I love the guy but he did burn himself out by doing a shit ton of movies in matter of a few years. Some really bad.. so I’m not sold on the harassment as being the reason he fell out of the lime light. A few bad movies and too much exposure probably had more to do with it. It’s not like he hasn’t been working this whole time. A quick look at his IMDb shows he has.

His cameo in Scrubs was great.

Right Wing Scottish Drinker Guy giving focus to The Mummy was the best video he's done in fucking ages. Loved that movie as a kid and love it even now.
Is the Looney Toons movie he was in that bad?

it's been a while but I vaguely remember "School Ties" being a pretty decent movie.

For some reason, one of my favorite movies is Blast From The Past, which he starred in. I have always genuinely liked him and am glad to hear things are looking up.

This my guilty pleasure also bedazzled. Always wondered why he disappeared and when i found out it really drive home how crappy Hollywood is.

Bedazzled was great.
On topic, great to hear that he's doing better. He got dealt a really shitty hand in Hollywood.

The Mummy was his franchise.
But I did enjoy California Man, Blast From The Past & School Ties.
I absolutely love With Honours with Joe Pesci
He is very talented actor as evident with the diversity of genres he has done, comedy, drama or action he can do it all.

Well according to this thread, it's because he was blacklisted for bullshit reasons.

Critical made a video about Fraser’s status a while back and it’s absolutely hilarious.
“His evil succubus of an ex-wife Afton Smith giving him the business end of her large veiny cock, demanding $900,000 a year in alimony from this poor guy and constantly shitting on him throughout the divorce process. It’s just not right”
