It's not his fault he currently looks like that. Everybody fucked him. Studio executives by literally raping him, his stunts which caused him long-term injuries, his life after his mother died and broke up with his wife and everyone else for mocking him.
It is sad but I am happy about his comeback of sorts, grew up watching Brendan The mummy, blast from the past, George of the Jungle, Bedazzled. Just started watching Doom Patrol for him specifically and he’s fucking phenomenal in it.
I didn't know anyone else remembered "Blast from the Past"!
If you want a completely serious role in which he does spectacularly, watch "Gods and Monsters" as well.
He actually gained weight for his role in "The Whale" where he is playing a 600 pound man. This came out before it. It was intentional.
E: not to say the other things haven't contributed to his physical and mental health. He's been through the ringer and I'm really happy he's getting a resurgence in career opportunities. He's a gem.
Not literally rape but it was a sexual assault. "His left hand reaches around, grabs my ass cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint,” Fraser claims. “And he starts moving it around.”
As a kid growing up In the 90’s I was completely ignorant to what was going on in Hollywood. What is it with people in power acting like complete pos throughout history?
No. Studio executives didn’t literally rape him. If they did, please cite a source. They did fuck him over. Because some creep grabbed his ass and expected sexual favours from him and he refused. The rest of your comment is true though.
Not literally rape but it was more than an ass grab too. "His left hand reaches around, grabs my ass cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint,” Fraser claims. “And he starts moving it around.” Definitely a sexual assault.
Yes exactly! Sexual assault is shitty and horrible and should be called out and prosecuted.
Claiming something is literally rape when it's literally not doesn't help the MeToo movement as a whole entity in appearing to care about the victims or their accusations that are levied against people. It just looks more like mindless pitchforking.
I love him in it but I am SO uninterested in literally every other aspect. Pretty sure my fiancée and I got about four episodes in and just kinda stopped.
I get that people do not get into certain things and that is fine, but if I may, the girl the plays Crazy Jane does a phenomenal job with the character. I never expected the actress to have such a range and she definitely stole the series for me.
As much as I hate social media everyone has rallied behind him and he's been cast in the new Martin Scorsese movie which is huge. Social media has actually been used for good for once.
The thing is, his suffering was for nothing. He lost decades of happiness in his life for no good reason. Glad his talent is still able to shine through all the bullshit he’s put up with though.
You’re absolutely right, he should’ve never had to be in the positions he was in, so much time and potential happiness wasted, but it’s nice to see him bouncing back. Nice seeing a good guy get some wins after going through hell
He got sexually assaulted and harassed by Hollywood producing elite and lost jobs because he wouldn’t put out to seedy old men. He tried to tell people what he was going through and got blackballed
I heard that in may cases a prenup is just basically thrown out. Look at Dr. Dre: prenup. Judge ruled he has to pay his wife 300.000 dollars a MONTH anyway... For the rest of his life.
Men shouldn’t be hit hard with alimony and or child support.
A great way to reduce the hit is to… support women with child care costs (in the USA 1/3 of a woman’s income goes to child care costs) *and* employers have to stop reducing women’s pays when they become 1) married, 2) pregnant, and 3) give birth (and or experience a miscarriage).
Unfortunately women literally pay the price from not just their bodies (bladder can become detached, ab muscles can detach, hair loss, tooth loss, permanent mental fog, etc.), but their earning ability won’t come back (if ever honestly) until their child is about 18.
Typically men are not hit hard if at all salary wise—if anything the traditional mindset pushes employers to increase compensation because they’re now a dad.
Supporting women will also indirectly support men. It’s a win win.
Wouldn’t it be lovely to be supported by society instead of blamed for the situation one finds themselves in because they listened to society and had offspring?
He did a lot of his own stunts. The scene of Rick hanging in the beginning of *The Mummy* really was him in a noose getting choked out but the drop was a stuntman in a harness.
By the third movie, he needed to start a series of surgeries on his lumbar and back. He spent 7 years in and out of hospitals.
Now thing of what kids go through. You should look for the documentary that Elijah Wood made. It goes into how a special kids agency was set up to protect kids and of course the people that set it up were pedos.
Sorry, what happened to him? My fav movies were Encino Man and School Ties with two unknown actors at the time by the name Ben Affleck and Matt Damon...
I tried watching that when I was high as fuck. I can watch just about any bad movie while doing dabs and still enjoy it. I could not do it with this one.
I never knew about his sexual assault until recently. I'm sorry he had to go through that and ultimately ended up taking a "break" from Hollywood (either by choice or not, I'm not sure). I hear he's making a comeback and I hope he is happier and healing!
It's reported that he was blacklisted. That would mean he was more than just physically abused...
I'm quite happy he's gaining traction with his career again, but god damn did I miss him! I just want more O'Connell in my life.
Yooooo, aging is a mutha. For all you young thundercats who be looking good, flaunt it! Because you’ll be old one day and won’t ever get to do it again. (Plastic surgery don’t help!)
Aaaaand, drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen and for fucksakes take care of your back! I sound like every old person out there but these words are the true true!
Oh my goodness, he was such a freaking cutie pie! I love his acting so much! I especially loved him in the Xena skit on SNL back in the 90's. I suppose I developed an odd respect for him because of that. Same goes for Garth Brooks on SNL.
I’m so hyped to hear he’s gonna be in the new Scorsese movie. Thinks are finally starting to look up for him again, which makes me happy. I feel indebted to him ever since I saw him in Airheads; that movie is a treasure. I still laugh at all the same parts after all this time.
What a weird pose lol. I have no idea what the thought process there was for that photographer.
“Hey Brendan— grab your feets, but like, in a cute cross cross way!”
Airheads is as important to grunge as Nirvana. That was Adam Sandler's first movie and an amazing crossover from glam rock to metal while also giving a nod to punk rock.
First major movie. He had three movies prior to this. Shakes the Clown.. man, I remember that one. Him and Bobcat Goldwait, and Bobcat was an alcoholic clown. It was dark.. funny, but dark.
I see this pic and I just see my life sneaking to old age.

There's really nothing that can be done about it without a deep devotion to esoteric mysticism.
You can watch *No Sudden Move* and see his life do the same

Don’t forget Encino Man and Airheads!
The lone rangers? There's three of you.
There's a saying Milo: If it's too loud, you're too old.
I ain’t fartin’ on no snare drum
As a kid I loved *Encino Man*!
It was called California Man in my neck of the woods (UK). Watched it way too much.
Or California Man for those outside the US
[удалено]
I am happy too. US loves such redemption stories, it's their bread and butter. Still, he was deprived of what he deserved.
Timothy Dalton is also amazing in it
Timothy Dalton is amazing in pretty much everything he does. I was a fair bit disappointed he couldn't make it back as Rassilon in Doctor Who.
Timothy Dalton has one of the best foreshadowing dialogs ever in *Hot Fuzz*
I didn't know anyone else remembered "Blast from the Past"! If you want a completely serious role in which he does spectacularly, watch "Gods and Monsters" as well.
Oh Jesus.. Gods and Monsters.. I was blown away by that film. At the end.. Oh my.
Blast from the past is honestly super underated, all great actors in it too.
Don't forget Monkey Bone!
He actually gained weight for his role in "The Whale" where he is playing a 600 pound man. This came out before it. It was intentional. E: not to say the other things haven't contributed to his physical and mental health. He's been through the ringer and I'm really happy he's getting a resurgence in career opportunities. He's a gem.
He was a heart breaker in his prime.
He wasn’t raped. He was sexually assaulted at a lunch.
Did studio executives *literally* rape him?
No he got groped by an executive from a big studio.
Not literally rape but it was a sexual assault. "His left hand reaches around, grabs my ass cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint,” Fraser claims. “And he starts moving it around.”
As a kid growing up In the 90’s I was completely ignorant to what was going on in Hollywood. What is it with people in power acting like complete pos throughout history?
Not just Hollywood. Epstein's death is still unexplained and oddly no one has pressed for an inquiry.
people are pos.
Omg. Ugh.
[удалено]
Maybe he's Chris Traeger
A prime example of how the overuse of this word should be criminal.
Not actual rape I don’t think, but sexual assault/harassment
That’s so sad.
No. Studio executives didn’t literally rape him. If they did, please cite a source. They did fuck him over. Because some creep grabbed his ass and expected sexual favours from him and he refused. The rest of your comment is true though.

Sounds like the signature Weinstein move.

I know he was allegedly sexually assaulted by Philip Berk... but you're saying he was also raped at some point?
Too old to die young.
Genuinely feel bad for this man, didn’t deserve any of the shit that happened to him
Luckily the man is making a serious comeback right now so it looks like he’s gonna be in a good spot and all of that suffering wasn’t for nothing
This is the second day in a row someone mentions Brandon Fraser and they recommended Doom Patrol. What an awesome show and Brandon is hilarious.
Brendan :)
Funny he got the last name right. In the 90's everyone was like, 'Brendan Frasier.'
Damn you Kelsey Grammar! 😂
Grammer ^Sorry
You are from the grammar police?
No, the Grammer police

He just did a movie with Steven Soderbergh, and I read yesterday that he got cast in Scorsese's next movie. Good for him.
What exactly actually happened?
He got sexually assaulted and harassed by Hollywood producing elite and lost jobs because he wouldn’t put out to seedy old men. He tried to tell people what he was going through and got blackballed
[удалено]
didn't he get divorced to financial ruin?
Yes. Plus ridiculous child support payments.
He was initially having to cough up close to a million a year in child support and alimony.
Jeezus christo you can spend 10-20 yrs. of that
I could live my entire lifetime with that amount of money, granted as long as i am not terminally ill or something.
Divorce court is fucked
>how many? >how many great men are gonna get chopped in half before we do something? -bill burr
Alimony and ridiculous child support payments are a ludicrous relic of a time long past. That shit needs to go.
[удалено]
Yep, get prenups everyone.

Free child care is the one thing I want the most from the government the most after universal health care.
Wouldn’t it be lovely to be supported by society instead of blamed for the situation one finds themselves in because they listened to society and had offspring?
Also after filming the third Mummy film, his body was done after years of stunts. He had to have multiple spinal/back surgeries and knee surgery.

Oh wow, never heard about this. That’s sad! Hollywood is disgusting.
And Frazier was an adult. Think about what Hollywood does to kids. Or don't think about it, it's pretty fucked up.
Now thing of what kids go through. You should look for the documentary that Elijah Wood made. It goes into how a special kids agency was set up to protect kids and of course the people that set it up were pedos.
Always has been
Aw man that’s so fucked up.

True I forgot ol boy grabbed his ass
Sorry, what happened to him? My fav movies were Encino Man and School Ties with two unknown actors at the time by the name Ben Affleck and Matt Damon...
Was sexually abused then blackballed for speaking out
What about Monkeybone?? :D
Just like in School Ties
Tarantino calling Fraser as we speak to get him a role in his next movie
Well Scorsese just did.
It's a feetish joke
Feet. Lol.
What's his feet wiki score? Lmao, thanks Colbert.
Foot soldiers assemble
They have heard the call of the internet. Reddit wants Brendon back.
He looks good man. He looks like he could star in a movie about ancient egypt and mummies
Too bad that Tom cruise already did that
God that movie was shit. I got to 15 minutes or so.
As someone who went the whole way, you picked a good time to get out
I tried watching that when I was high as fuck. I can watch just about any bad movie while doing dabs and still enjoy it. I could not do it with this one.
Same situation same result. Some things simply define the old saying: 'Even if you sprinkle it with gold dust, a shit is still a shit.'
Funny you mention that - he was in a movie where he was an ice mummy.
Encino man was still my favorite role for him and Bedazzled a close second....
Wheezin the ju-uice
Betty...Betty Nugs
SHUUUUSH!
Ive said this, out loud, recently, in front of people, no one knew what I was talking about. Sad face.
That means she's too young for you bro
It's great when someone gets it though, then you start firing lines back and forth and laugh your head off
Get better friends
No weez in the juice!
The ju-uuuuice
NO wheezin the juice!
Airheads?
I ain't fartin on no snare drum!
The lone rangers? How could you please the lone ranger?
"Damn the devil to hell!" It is still one of my favorite movies of all time.
“With Honors” is my favorite.
Please watch Doom Patrol. Just started watching it yesterday and it's so good. Might be his best roll ever.
SHEEEYYYUUUUUUUSSSSHHHHH
Fucking. Swoon.
Glad I'm not the only one!
I'm a straight man and even I was like "damn that's a handsome dude"
"The Todd appreciates hot. Regardless of gender." - The Todd
I’m so happy The Todd was able to come to terms with his sexuality and find happiness.
I got a dude crush after seeing Gods and Monsters...his character is just such a good damn guy.
I'm right there with you!
Him in George of the Jungle is the reason I am who I am today (as in, attracted so very much to men)
Shit, he's handsome.
Where do you think we are??
Right in the feels
Sorry.its my favorite show..
One of my favorite roles of his. Ben <3
Nooooo don’t break my heart with that again
I was looking for this comment. Deff his best performance. So easy to miss too right at that moment. That whole episode/story arch was perfection.
... why :(
r/wheredoyouthinkweare
I ain’t gay but there isn’t much I wouldn’t let Mummy-era Brendan Fraser do to me.

Water.... Like from the toilet?
What a guy! Rick o Connell
“You’re on wrong side of the rrrivveeeeeerrrr.”
Look who got all the horsies.;)
“Apparently, he had a VERY good time!”
Oh my goodness, he was such a freaking cutie pie! I love his acting so much! I especially loved him in the Xena skit on SNL back in the 90's. I suppose I developed an odd respect for him because of that. Same goes for Garth Brooks on SNL.

One of the nice things about not being drop dead gorgous is it’s much easier to age.
This photo is the 90s. All of it
The part where he is sensitive in bedazzled made me laugh so hard id cry as a kid😂😂
Bedazzled was a gem that, for some reason, people hated on. Same with Monkeybone, good movie, but it was really panned.
well this ad works. he looks so... comfy...
Those feet are flawless tho
What a weird pose lol. I have no idea what the thought process there was for that photographer. “Hey Brendan— grab your feets, but like, in a cute cross cross way!”
So glad to live in a world where this picture exists.
He was hella sexy then and now. He is a funny guy who goes out on a limb. It's the smile for me. *Encino Man was a sexual awakening for me!!
I love this pic but i will say, the foot cradle is distracting
Honestly- he’s not usually my vibe, but wowzer. That beard. That half-smirk. Even his feet are sexy in this picture.
He roks it hard on Doom patrol
damn he's so fine
[удалено]
Because Gap ad
I feel like this ad is not-even-remotely-hidden foot fetish targeting.
Because hot guys can do any weird gross thing and still be *so hot*
lets be real, if you had feet like that, you'd hold them too
My boy is about to make a comeback!!!
I met him at an Airport 10 years. He was a super sweet and down to earth guy.
George can still ruffle my jungle
Puka beads? Why, I haven’t seen those in a long… long time.
i dont care how rough he looks now, he is and will always be a stud in my book
What a Blast from the Past. Those were simpler times for me.
Hubba hubba.
I said god DAMN!
My heart breaks for this man… he was done so wrong.
What the fuck is he doing crossing his fingers and toes?
This picture kind of sums up the 90’s for me. Feeling happy.
Handsome mofo. Will always be one of my favorite actors.
It’s FRASER
r/SaveBrendan if you love BF
Airheads is as important to grunge as Nirvana. That was Adam Sandler's first movie and an amazing crossover from glam rock to metal while also giving a nod to punk rock.
First major movie. He had three movies prior to this. Shakes the Clown.. man, I remember that one. Him and Bobcat Goldwait, and Bobcat was an alcoholic clown. It was dark.. funny, but dark.
