[@bgb411]

@Brendan Fraser vs The Truth the reality is that people do make mistakes, like not trying to have a relationship with their kids, etc. that they come to later regret. Is it better to just keep making that mistake until you die or is it better to at least try and rectify some of the damage you've done? And by that way of thought, should people grow and learn from their choices at all? Maybe it takes near death to come across to some people and that sucks, but you're saying it's not worth even trying to make things better at a certain point?

@Brendan Fraser vs The Truth that’s not what I was saying. But they both admitted in this interview to having had stepped away from their careers. And in Brendan’s case being forced out of his. So this is, in a sense, a return of their passion for the medium. Feeling to motivated and strong enough to get back into doing what they love.

[@Gab1s16]

@Brendan Fraser vs The Truth still doesn’t mean he wasn’t affected by what happened. Just because he has small roles doesn’t mean a damn thing. The guy obviously went through some shit you can see it all over his face. Whatever venture you’re on really seems rather pointless. In fact he admitted to the snowball affect that all those events caused. It wasn’t just the allegations he claimed it’s also his wife leaving him, back surgery gone wrong. The inability to be as mobile as he was because of injuries. The guy slipped into a massive depression and you can tell. So throw away whatever “facts” you think you know. This goes beyond all that.

[@ComedicPause]

Brendan arrived as goofy, loud heartthrob, went away, and returned as meek, humble father-figure. As many difficulties as there apparently were between the two eras of his career, I'm glad he's back and hope he makes the most of it.

Though there are painful ties to the production of The Mummy, I have watched it countless times, I believe, _because_ Brendan is such a lovely human. He was playing a character but the sweet and funny man he is in real life is what made that movie a success. It brings me such joy to see how many people have stood by him in his vulnerability, and I hope that this love and compassion will stifle the toxicity we have seen from so many in Hollywood.
