How Brendan Fraser Became the Comeback King

We all love Brendan Fraser, but do you know how, exactly, he became the comeback king? After starting a Brenaissance on TikTok, we all knew that his return to the big screen was only a matter of time! Brendan Fraser has had quite an interesting career, from his beginnings appearing on screen with River Phoenix and Lili Taylor on Dogfight. He’s gone on to appear in the live action movie George of the Jungle by the Walt Disney Company. He starred in the Mummy trilogy alongside Rachel Weisz, directed by Stephen Sommers. And now, his role in the Whale seems to be his most celebrated movie yet! The Whale is also starring such incredible talents as Sadie Sink, best known for the Netflix series Stranger Things, as well as Ty Simpkins, who’s appeared in both the Jurassic Park franchise as well as the Marvel Cinematic universe. The Whale is directed by Darren Aronofsky, who’s earned a bit of a reputation in Hollywood with his work on movies like Black Swan and Mother! The Whale has earned Brendan Fraser nominations for best actor from both the Oscars and the Golden Globes, and he has even earned the Tribute Award from the Toronto International Film Festival and a standing ovation at the Venice International Film Festival! Otherwise, Brendan Fraser has also worked on the Harold Ramis comedy Bedazzled, he’s worked with Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi in Airheads, and he starred in the half live action and half animated movie Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

The Whale is one of the most powerful, raw and emotional performances done by Brendan Fraser. Brendan Fraser delivers a stunning portrayal of a broken man full of regret, a prisoner in his own body who can't leave his apartment. He shocks us and saddens us with his grossness, yet is also disarmingly graceful and full of sensitivity.

Long live the great Brendan Fraser, one of the great kings of not just Hollywood but the world.🙏👑

I've always loved Brendan, but my fav is The Mummy. I knew he was good, but he blew me away in this one. I hope he's back to stay. I missed him the whole time he was gone.

The Mummy(1999) is a treasure

[@Basagazel]

I am so fucking happy for him. I love this actor and he deserves it so much. My childhood hero

[@chasehedges6775]

“ENOUGH TRICKS! WHERES YOUR HONOR? FIGHT LIKE A MAN!” Whatever people say about The third mummy movie, that will always be my most favorite badass Brendan Fraser moment.

[@marlaknaack4641]

Blast from the Past is my all time fave BF movie. Mainly because he plays the sweetest, most honest person on the planet and I picture him being a little this in real life. I love all his movies, though. I’m so happy about the Oscar. He deserved it!🎉😊

[@lordvenjix3757]

Amazing video 👌

[@chasehedges6775]

His mid 2000s movies weren’t that bad, honestly

[@annawallace5276]

Can you please do more descendants videos? I love them so much! ❤

The greatest comeback ever

[@gdhaney136]

I'll be honest. I loved Airheads. The Mummy is great, Encino Man, School Ties, The Whale - I love him in everything, but Fraser, Sandler, and Buscemi is a comedic trifecta.

[@Zharkan16]

I am happy he got more recognition, he is a great actor. But it feels like a big reason for why is also that he had a big sob story, kinda like how America's got talent works, judges voting on someone with a sad story and talent because talent is not enough...

[@kobrakitsch877]

BRENDAN FRASER won the Oscar because : 1. he became a ME TOO victim when a Golden Globes official sexually harassed him. 2. he played another GAY character who DIES as a MARTYR in the film's ending. 3. "The Whale" is an ANTI CHRISTIAN movie.
