He's a treasure 💛 It's so sad what has happened in the past & he has such courage to come back to acting.

[@24james]

What happened….someone grabbed him in the taint? How did he survive? He’s a hero🎉

[@robmausser]

@@24james his wife also left him and the courts demanded he pay her $50,000 a month when he was out of work and he went bankrupt.

[@LarissaFay]

@@24james are you seriously being sarcastic about that? Wow. How blissful is ignorance? Empathy or even just common decency isn't a hard concept. Everybody is a human, even Actors.

[@LopezBOT90]

The man is literally a legend and a wonderful human being and a stupendous actor and I couldn't be more thankful to have witnessed his continued journey.

[@gabrielaalvesdossantos7112]

I love Brendan so much. Such a great actor and precious man.

[@jakelol5119]

Graham Norton Show the only show where people can actually speak compared to other talk show hosts out there.

[@chasehedges6775]

Brendan Fraser is such an awesome actor

[@jimbomoosio2184]

He's been through a lot. He sounds like he's a few words away from crying

[@Subfightr]

Awesome person so it seems

[@Ivosferatus]

They're all giving him love and appreciation. And that's great. He's an icon and should remain as one for eternity.

[@lorilori3]

Wonderful actor, lovely human being! ❤️

[@drizer4real]

That man went through the wringer and beyond hell and survived it. Mad respect for him both as actor and as human being.

[@kreemkrackered3755]

So glad to see this guy back - such a nice guy with a big heart.

[@ytuser_3122]

I love seeing him make a comeback, I missed him so much after growing up with his Mummy movies.

[@MISNM0]

Very glad to see him for all the good and wonderful he is and for what he's bringing to attention by the content of The Whale.

[@irishcolleeninmn8134]

He has a beautiful heart.

[@wdaniel4914]

He was very beautiful!

[@JaxxStarr81]

@@wdaniel4914 still is!

[@girlnextdoorgrooming]

He always looks as if he's going to burst into tears.

[@LeeAnneGuerin]

Im lookung forward to Seeing The Whale tomorrow night.

[@donovanschoor1473]

Such a huge fan of him. Hope he has an amazing comeback in acting!

[@rad6666]

Can't wait to see this movie. Love Brendan.

[@hersheyairbar]

I grew up watching him in movies and had the biggest crush! We are glad you're back! You're a wonderful actor, stay strong. ❤

[@janegold6953]

I just love this man, he has been forever my favorite actor and I am so glad for the success of this amazing movie. I do really hope he wins that Oscar ❤️😍

[@seboll13]

Welcome back Brendan, we missed ya !

[@parametr]

I remember his movies where just fun, and the guy is so likeable. No idea why I haven't seen him for so long. Happy to be around for a Brenaissance.

[@shayposting]

He got blacklisted after he was sexually harassed by a Hollywood fatcat. Super fucked up.

[@vevasam]

What a beautiful person.

[@Greenwillow]

I was watching Mrs Winterbourne the other day, love him in that and George of the Jungle. Great to see him back again.😉

[@Hajnik79]

Brenden is such a great actor and great person in general! So glad to see him back making movies! His past movies were all hits!😊😊🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤❤

[@Hajnik79]

Nothing like Encino man, Bedazzled and Blast from the past, are my favorites!!

[@HenryBrooke1998]

Looney Tunes Back In Action has to be my favourite Fraser movie. He's my favourite childhood actor, and always will be.

[@gellisbarber1786]

That Sistine Chapel joke at the end was 👨‍🍳😘 That's a well-educated man.

[@JaxxStarr81]

Yeah, I’m not sure if they got it. 😂

[@scrapinbuy]

He has a huge heart. I hope he makes a mental comeback

[@Gingerninja1138]

Amazing guy and actor

[@vevasam]

When Bren stops talking, you start applauding🙏

[@user-ut1rg1xz3m]

I got to imagine, the pain of his career, also helped that performance. Always loved his stuff. Great guy, talented actor. Glad he's on an upswing. Doom Patrol wouldn't be the same without him.

[@eeccee11]

So glad he's back

[@BinaryRoberto]

God he looks phenomenal now! Glad to see Brendan is doing well!

[@jimmyperez9157]

❤!!!

[@ArhMatBenzamene]

Fraser you rock! that quiver in your voice is gooooiiiiing and soon the mummies will have someone to fear again EH? O CONNOR!

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

Good actor. Its sad Hollywood is making him pay tribute just to keep working. They kind of did him dirty.

[@Joker-yw9hl]

Top man

[@MrSheizen]

He totally will get an Oscar.

[@nunuarthas8680]

Thanks to Brendan I know how to spell Renaissance now

[@TZWG]

老了還是很有型

[@PlaynJayne]

Who all is on the couch?

[@abel6772]

He is looking so better, recovering his hair and weigth.

[@girlnextdoorgrooming]

That is spray paint hair.

[@abel6772]

@@girlnextdoorgrooming I think is hair transplant, if not he should do It.

[@Clembo]

Looks like Brian Butterfield.

[@hadihassan372]

He's such a sweet guy , not the bad ass from the mummy. I think that's why hollywood used and abused him

[@Nazaba09]

I love Brendan but they should have gotten an actor like Chris Sullivan.

[@girlnextdoorgrooming]

Helena Bonham Carter looks wretched.

[@Joker-yw9hl]

nah I'd still walk 500 miles

[@ShoestringRacer]

Blah blah blah this is riveting!!

[@polishrocker93]

What are people praising him for? For fat shaming people in The Whale, which is also a mediocre film? To hell with Brendan and the people who made the film.

[@parahive4067]

You... you haven't seen the film have you. He legit has so much appreciation and respect for fat people and the struggle of living in a fat body (souce: I'm fat)

[@adamtel9105]

“Fat shaming” be quiet. It’s a problem and you know it. Continue to wallow in your selfishness while others take the film as a heads up or guidance.

[@tarben2]

Always liked you man. Just don't go to emotional if you can. Be a man because you have done much already and never nobody can destroy it even after your death. I'm from Poland and I easily can say your name even after years of not hearing about you or seeing you. Head up never down. Like true man should. You should get into energy crisis. Fusion energy is my bet.

[@steve4nj]

he totally should do a film on the life of Rodney Dangerfield

[@davidware9549]

The more Brendan gets older the more he looks like roger dangerfield lol

[@24james]

That “taint” a joke😂

[@SuperEmmitt1]

Much ado about nothing.
