In the 1990s and 2000s, Brendan Fraser was one of the most popular actors in Hollywood thanks to his roles in blockbusters and comedies.
His career began with the film School Ties, but it was his role as George in the comedy George of the Jungle that really made him popular . This was followed by The Mummy, where he played the role of fearless adventurer Rick O’Connell.
The film became a cult classic and Fraser became an international star.
However, despite his career success, his life began to change behind the scenes. Filming physically demanding action and adventure films led to serious injuries. Fraser has undergone numerous surgeries: on his spine, knees and vocal cords.
These injuries not only forced him to reduce the number of roles, but also affected his physical condition. He began to gain weight and his appearance changed significantly.
In addition, in 2007, the actor experienced a painful divorce, and then the death of his mother, which further affected his psychological state.
However, years later he returned to the screen, first in the series Doom Patrol, and then with a powerful dramatic role in the film The Whale (2022), where he played an obese man struggling with guilt and melancholy.
For the role, Fraser underwent extensive training, delving into the psychological and physical characteristics of his character. The film was critically acclaimed, and the role earned him an Oscar for Best Actor in 2023.
