These are ai recreations of him. Right pic is way too clear for a mummy era photo. Right pic skin detail looks off (neck is very aged looking). Right pic shirt collar left and right side fabric weave mismatch. Inconsistent face moles between pics I think this is the original pic
Just wondering if this is an option: can he undergo the Hom-Dai ritual, bait some people into opening the cursed chest like in The Mummy 2 on the train car, then absorb the flesh and blood of those victims and craft a new body?
It's one of comfort movies. Every time I see a Dr Pepper I think "Here you go. Dr Pepper, served piping hot, your favorite" "No Calvin, thats your favorite"
Please please please if you like the current uptick in Brendan Fraser things: check out Rental Family. You will not be disappointed, its another very good performance from him
He'll still need to get into better shape simply to keep up with filming an action movie. The schedule can be very draining. As all movies can make an actor redo a scene multiple times, but when its say a fight scene it's a lot of physical effort. And if it's a running scene they might end up running the distances of a marathon just for one scene if they have to redo it too much. So it's not just about embracing the aged bod look.
We need a movie with all the actors that either got randomly blacklisted or who faded from the public consciousness and were known for being incredibly kind to just do a movie together. I really do not care about the plot, I just want for audiences to spend money on people we know aren’t sacks of shit. Turn it into some billion+ blockbuster that makes guys like him bankable in the eyes of the studios
Whatever shape he gets into is good enough shape for him to be into for the role. It has 'been a while'.
Having his character stop for breath, hold his side, and mutter something about getting fucking old would totally work and probably be highly relatable for a rather sizeable part of the audience.
Have you seen the recent pictures of him training? Dude is more shredded than I ever will be in my life.
Sure he almost certainly uses chemical supports for it but the amount of training he must be doing, especially in his age. Hope he puts his health first though
He truly is, but, from the stories he told just about the first Mummy movie, it took a heavy toll on his body. I am not surprised he wants to strengthen his body against possible mishaps so he doesn't end up with even more life long problems.
Yeah. But it’s not about looks. It’s about how taxing an action adventure is on the actors. It’ll put a huge amount of stress on him and he has to be in good shape to handle it and not get injured or worse. But I’m not worried that he’ll succeed. As you said, “He’s Brendan Fucking Fraser”.
I'm believe his current size is in large part to injuries sustained making the other mummy movies. That is, pain leading to less physical activity and eating to replace it.
He did until it became widely publicized that he essentially stole that entire "Good News" thing from a content creator who had already been doing it for a while.

Do it as you are. That's realistic.

I’ll use a slightly modified quote from Palpatine. “We will watch your transformation with great interest”

The Mummy 4 starring Brendan Fraser as The Whale

My favorite Brandon Fraser movie will always be "Blast From the Past." Not as well known as many of his other films, but so fucking good.

no love for George of the jungle?

I do love it, and damn near everything I've ever seen him in. But Blast From the Past will always be my favorite Brandon Fraser film

It was called Some Good News but not by Jim, but by some white dude. Looked just like him though, it was uncanny.
