In his youth, this actor captivated everyone not only with his striking appearance but also with his exceptional talent. We’re talking about Brendan Fraser, who became hugely popular after George of the Jungle and The Mummy.
Following these films, he became a beloved star for fans across many countries. Unfortunately, numerous on-set injuries, followed by surgeries and long rehabilitation periods, prevented his talent from continuing to shine in cinema.
Hormonal changes triggered by countless medications led to a breakdown of his immune system. Fraser began to rapidly gain weight, making it physically impossible for him to continue acting.
Fraser was able to return to filming many years later, having overcome his psychological struggles. He played one of the lead roles in Doom Patrol, and for his performance in The Whale, he was awarded the most prestigious film award — the Oscar — in 2023
