Brendan Fraser was THE BEST movie star on the planet at this time, in my opinion. SUPER underrated actor.

[@TheMonroemomma]

Brendan is a gentle soul. Love, love, LOVE him, and I'm so very glad he's back making movies. True gem.

[@el_chico1313]

for years this guy defined for me masculinity and was an actor being on screen with the big guys but sort of tagged along and never got his recognition glad to see he is doing better now

[@WilkinsonX]

One of the greatest adventure movies ever made.

[@kellymulderino7156]

wouldnt jump the gun on that one sport lol

[@WilkinsonX]

@@kellymulderino7156 Tell me why I’m wrong, champ.

[@PerrincinaSprecaci]

He's always been so cute and polite and endearing. His parents raised him well. Can't wait to see 'The Whale' Friday and I hope he finally gets an Oscar. I can think of a few movies he's done where he absolutely deserved one.

[@Aimlessartist]

The sand 😂 so charming and goofy always and just humble, damnit! ❤❤

[@patriceoldani5603]

I love Brendan he's such a beautiful soul

[@leonita2252]

What a charming personally!, I love you Brendan Fraser, always!💖💖

[@austinricky]

this guy played himself in the movie "blast from the past".. great flick my favorite from him

[@DEPTHOFHEART_]

Blast From the past is one of my favorite movie too!

[@andrewkasper4105]

Very much an under rated actor. Maybe the Oscars will fix that tonight.

[@robertfeeney9857]

Brendan Fraser born in 1968, he was 31 years old in this interview The Mummy came out on 5/7/1999

[@Mcjesus97]

He was 30 , he turned 30 in December of 98. Dummy

[@rays7437]

I recently watched the original Boris Karloff mummy movie and Brendan's first mummy movie. I think I like Brendan's movie more.

[@Indy_21]

Geez, Letterman wasn't great interviewing him. So many hollow questions... I could understand why Brendan was uncomfortable. Needless to say that they indeed should have put a harness on him, how dangerous was that!

[@nightshiftnyc911]

My wife loved this movie. She watched it time after time.

[@8bitpix]

the sand gag was brilliant

[@debb41111]

Sweet. Thanks, I was looking for his Letterman appearances. Imdb says he had 4 appearances; do you have any of the others -- 7/14/97, 2/1/99 and 2/6/03.

[@bloodsling]

you don't see people promote movies like this anymore,he's giving away so much lol. If this was a Marvel movie we'd be lucky to know what it was called.

[@keefriff99]

The first Mummy film was a load of cheesy fun.

[@MedalionDS9]

Don't joke around... Doom Patrol is back tomorrow

[@Daemon1995_]

this man deserves all the good he can get

[@coffeeabuse]

Of course I had to do a search to see if Brendan Fraser died because this channel seems to be the way I find out about which celebrity died most recently

[@christophermiller3031]

Dear Internet Gods, I would appreciate it if you could get one of your people to deep fake Brendan Fraser on Arnold Schwarzenegger in the one where Arnold gets pregnant. All it would require is AI to swap the voice and face to Brendan Fraser... The movie, now titled "The mommy", would be an instant classic.

[@kstepko]

Junior - AKA “the one where Arnold gets pregnant”

[@christophermiller3031]

@@kstepko lol. thanks... but... heh... I knew it was Junior. I stated it as the 'one where Arnold gets pregnent' ... as I thought it would make sense to both those who know the movie title, and to those who have no idea what Junior is. no worries... I just thought that since you wanted to help me clarify, I thought I would explain myself 🖖👽 Junior, Kindergarten Cop... OK! I have squiz for you cuz now I'm having a brain fart... the one where Arnold need to get the HOT toy of the season 🤪🤔🤗

[@KingGOJ12034]

Brendan must read a script religiously, front and back, just to be able to summarize it so well

[@user-bj2lu9qt3o]

5:53 Gosh how can you hang someone on a rope like that with no safety measures? I didn't know he was actually technically dead for a moment. No wonder he has a hard time talking about it.

[@abrahamtapia8540]

Oscar for him on 2023, unbelievable

[@tukni09]

i think he was the most handsome in hollywood during his time

[@yomommastupid]

A young Brendan reminds me of Channing Tatum

[@bluebear1985]

We'll be right back with Jesse Jackson.

[@amostique]

Love hiw dorky he is lol

[@kellymulderino7156]

impressive hairpiece

[@VcrWorld]

You can really tell his back and neck are stiff in this interview.

[@HazyWave1974]

This seems like a particularly crass and tasteless way to announce Brendan Fraser's death today. Have you no shame?😂🤣

[@thefonzkiss]

Looks like a wig.

[@paulytamale]

Nah, guys just had ps1 hair back then

[@egnbigdave]

Absolutely craps all over the Tom Cruise version even now.
