He made a triumphant return, overcoming many obstacles.
In the 1990s, Brendan Fraser was a superstar. And then a black streak began in his life. In 2023, he made a triumphant return, overcoming many obstacles and now inspiring millions of people.
Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale, starring Brendan Fraser, was released in 2022. For the actor, this is the first major project in the last 10 years.
Fraser was a superstar in the 1990s. But then something went wrong. Brendan became a victim of bullying, against this background it is assumed that he began to gain weight and … ceased to be a sought-after artist.
The return of the actor was in a sense prophetic. In The Whale, Frazier plays a 270-pound man who is drowning in his own problems-psychological and physiological.
Brendan managed to overcome his ailments in real life, and today he is back on horseback. Touched, embarrassed, but happy to be needed again.
At the beginning of 2023, the Critics Choice Awards were held, at which Fraser was awarded the statuette for Best Actor in the film The Whale. The actor took the stage and, swallowing tears, gave a speech that touched our hearts. We hope you do too.
«This film, Keith, is about love. It’s about redemption. It’s about finding light in a dark place. <…> I was in the dark, lost, leaving no trace of breadcrumbs, but you, Darren Aronofsky, found me.
And like all the best directors, you showed me where to go to be where I need to be. If you, like Charlie, whom I played in the film, are somehow struggling with excess weight or just feel like you are sinking into a sea of darkness.
I want you to know that if you have the strength to get back on your feet and walk toward the light, then everything will be fine».
After that, the audience in the hall rose from their seats.
