Oscars 2023: Brendan Fraser Brings His Sons to the Red Carpet (Exclusive)

“The Whale” star Brendan Fraser hit the Oscars red carpet with his partner Jeanne Moore and two of his sons, Holden and Leland! He told “Extra’s” Billy Bush and Jenn Lahmers that he was “thrilled” to be at Hollywood’s biggest night and revealed he was excited to see his former “Encino Man” co-star Ke Huy Quan! He also reflected on the most honest moment he’s had with himself.

[@bluemarvel-mf2yu]

HE WON FOR BEST ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE!! He deserved it greatly!! One of the VERY few things I approved of in this year's Oscars!!

[@Marita940]

Me too

[@confusedandspacey]

Same! So lame that everything everywhere all at once won so many awards.. soo overrated

[@bluemarvel-mf2yu]

@@confusedandspacey I actually like Michelle Yeoh, BUT I really had no interest in seeing that movie, I just never got the hype over it. Then again, those seem to be the very same films that always wind up sweeping the botched Oscars!!🤦🤦🤦......And of course, I'm gonna say it, BASSETT GOT SEVERELY ROBBED? I mean FOR REAL?? She has a WAY higher acting range than Curtis, nothing against her either. Sigourney Weaver has been acting just as long as Curtis too, but she never got an Oscar, but she too has a greater range than Curtis!! Such 🐂💩!!! SMH

[@GinaMazzola]

Let me guess, a racist MAGA who hates diversity?

[@bluemarvel-mf2yu]

@@GinaMazzola Who Fraser?? Because I was referring also to the blatant robbery that happened to Angela Bassett!! Fraser is really like that??😳

[@MuMu-fu7qe]

The whole world is rooting for him! Goooo Brendan!!!

[@ifyouonlyknew811]

Speak for yourself, it's a big world.

[@Lisa-pb3qp]

Right! And Billy too…😀

[@diosbatman]

@@ifyouonlyknew811sorry for you then, he won

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sonjamiljkovic6475]

I was rooting from Serbia. Go Brendan go

[@maggiechan33]

Brendan: the definition of authenticity + modesty.

[@vj8511ind]

brandon is my childhood hero.. now after 20 years seeing him i have tears in my eyes

[@GlamourBella]

Me too I'm in tears right now, so happy for him 😊

[@stacydetwiler1475]

Brendan

[@lindafuentes9895]

I absolutely love Brendan. He was missed by me for many years. Finally he's back, wish him all the luck in the universe hope he wins and hope to see him in future projects.

[@belaytriks]

He Winned!!!🥳🤩🎊🎉

[@lindafuentes9895]

Well deserved!!!! He's back!!!

[@Coldstone47034]

Brendan Fraser has a big heart of gold🙏

[@galmanferguson]

Brendan is an OSCAR WINNER now guys!!! So happy and proud of him. ❤

[@ChawkyVirus]

I love how the entire world wholeheartedly agrees to love Brendan 😆

[@teresapribilski6915]

One of the few actors that will not compromise himself or his values. When he refused to attend the Golden Globes, I was applauding his decision. I was so happy he won.

[@eunicequaicoe7454]

And he just grabbed the award. Congratulations with love from GHANA 🇬🇭

[@sarasmith9333]

Brendan is a WINNER already and good he is back for good. His 3 sons are such a good example of good parenting so good for mother Afton.

[@takata98]

I'm happy he won! Over the years Brendan has turned in some incredible performances together with varied deep or comedy characters emphasizing his wide range yet he also experienced lean hard times along the way. He's paid his due, it's good to see a person who's longevity in the industry commended and justly rewarded.

[@Jessen2204]

🤣🤣

[@xsparik]

His sons are so beautiful just like him.

[@ellierfromthebronx4531]

My boy Brendan and my other boy, Ke Huy Quan BOTH won! I am so happy for them both! And Jamie Lee Curtis, a member of Hollywood Royalty also won! Her parents would have been so proud!

[@elfe441]

He is such a gentle man. I always had so much sympathy for him

[@skylark1250]

I love that two actors who starred the campy Encino Man are nominated this year for Oscars! Congratulations

[@omgDavidGlasper]

Why do you have to say campy?

[@sallyannlady]

I soooo want him to win- he deserves every good thing he can get!!

[@PTSDRemission-PRENEUR]

his energy is so cool calm and collected. he's celebrated a few times so now.....he's back. he made it to the Oscars. and he just waits now to see if he HAS won and oscar.

[@ifyouonlyknew811]

Huck He had a few between the hotel and the limo.

[@FroZoneDeNiro]

He will win, and I will watch Blast from the past afterwards to celebrate.

[@graw211]

Blast from the past it's a gem

[@meghanpelej183]

He is such a beautiful, humble human being!

[@crazyjoe91682]

He earned a title that will always be with him for the rest of his life- ACADEMY AWARD WINNER!

[@lucinda3728]

Family must be so proud of Daddy. His beautiful personality has not changed.

[@annasanz3331]

So happy for him!!! Love it, he deserved an acknowledgement since some movies ago.

[@helendishaw904]

His Encino Man co-star just won best supporting actor! Really rooting for Brendan... C'mon Academy get the Best Actor right this year - a talented and great representative - humble, gentle, kind (make up for last year!)

[@bbdc1977-sg8dc]

Very happy for him !

[@bbdc1977-sg8dc]

@Brendan fraser Hey Brenden ! Great surprise ! I'd seen you in a few movies , but it wasn't until you did "God's and Monsters" and then definitely "The Mummy" franchise. By then, I was hooked. You certainly earned your Oscar. It's nice to see someone who has worked hard finally be recognized for their incredible talent and passion. Once again, congratulations ! Looking forward to so much more from you. 👍

[@tjp2109]

Brenden Fraser has always been the most un-Hollywood person ever and thank God for him.

[@ANN__xxx]

I screamed and yelled and cheered and had tears in my eyes. I'm so happy for you, Brendan. Well-deserved win!!!👏🥂🥰

[@brazil87ful]

😢😢😢❤❤❤❤me too. He deserved that Oscar and more. Gos bless him and his family too.

[@martasilva3249]

Várias vezes perguntei por onde ele andava e sentia falta de ver ele atuando novamente Fiquei muito feliz por ele ....uma pessoa discreta,simples, educado e que ninguém têm nada de ruim para falar, isso já demonstra a grande pessoa que ele deve ser

[@BillyAlabama]

Incredibly talented but incredibly nice, from his head to his toes. Good to see him with his sons.

[@HaloFlemz86]

I screamed when he won. I'm So happy for him. My high school crush.

[@Likethenlove]

If he wins I’ll be watching George of the Jungle tonight!!!!

[@Nudel-nc1cp]

Go Brendan! Go Brendan! Go Brendan! 😁👏👏

[@michelles8230]

Heck yeah! What an awesome human being. So happy for Brendan and his lovely family.

[@donnasummers6534]

He is such a great person. Very humble. Im glad he is back.

[@DB-nw4gk]

A genuine man who is sincere, doesn’t need to date a 20 year old to serve his ego, just a decent human being all around.

[@sragdharaghosh3582]

He and his family litrally gave zero fucks about the interview because he knew they don't care about him. And he didn't pretend to hide it. Like "what! I am here with my famiy, ain't I? You weren't there exactly a few years ago when I was struggling so bad. And now you are all here addressing my partner like you knew her since ages and you don't even know these are my children beside." I JUST LOVED HIS ATTITUDE! Like you are allowed to be this confident after doing such an incredible job and no one can make you feel bad.

[@DB-nw4gk]

I agree with your statement 💯. The first thing I thought was how bloody fake was the female reporters compliment to his lovely lady. A real genuine family who do not indulge in the fake preening now he’s won an Oscar. They are keeping it real and remembering their real friends. Good luck to them 😊

[@ednelnonoyaspillagaalmorad9654]

I love seing this guy with his sons now you won the Oscar Brendan congrats

[@TheSakebomb1]

Wow, his son with the long hair looks just like him!!

[@picklepoppers8223]

An incredible journey of an incredible man (Brandon Fraser). Many hearty congratulations to you for literally rising up from the ashes like a victorious phoenix. You are an inspiration. Despite going through such terrible lows and your loved ones abandoning you, Brandon you emerged triumphant. Congratulations on winning the Oscars for your absolutely brilliant performance. Bravo dude. You're truly an inspiration to all men. 👑👑👑👑👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

And just in few hours, he won Best Actor.

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

He's almost like Encino Man here. Deer in the headlights . So glad he won, fantastic Leland would be great in a period drama, has that look

[@richardvelante4510]

I did not see ceremony today as had something in mind that if I see, you will not win. Was not sure if you will or not. You made history, Sir. I am very happy for you. You gave us great movies and memories. We were robbed of the things you could do. But all is well when ends well. My wishes to you for a coming future.
