He is such a down to earth person. I wish I could meet him
He is such a lovely human
So y’all just gonna skip one of the funniest movies he made Monkeybone y’all just gonna skip that alright I mean to me that movie was hilarious but that’s just me alright cool
over 2 million views in 1 day. Wow..... the power of Brendan Fraser :D
waaw!
He just sounds so humble and so kind
cool
Good
nice
Nice
👍👍
Brendan is so kind. He spent the entire interview applauding others and mentioning their achievements. This man is just incredible and I hope he knows how unbelievably loved he is.
i think he does now x
I love your name my guy
Doesn't matter how nice you are, let's just make sure he's always working and creating his best stuff.
He knows cuz y'all can't stop saying it. It's actually a bit insane. It's strengthening the idea that how England has its royals America has its stars. I think y'all would actually kow tow to them
@@YanChowGo he never stopped working SMH 🤦♂️
Brendan and Keanu are two of the most humble celebrities ever. They seem so genuine and still have this child like excitement for their passion. Wish they would act in a buddy comedy together.
Variety did a great video where Adam Sandler interviewed Brendan. Hopefully we can get another one with Hollywood's most humble people. Keanu interviewing Brendan or the other way around. I love 'em both!
This idea needs to get to a studio executive ASAP.
Brendan is such a good guy he can somehow explain how bad the CGI was for the Scorpion King without insulting the workers or the film itself. What a class act.
But I also like how he said the bad CGI was part of the charm. I agree with him. If The Mummy 2 was remastered with a more realistic, proper-looking Dwayne, people would complain that the magic is lost.
Corridor digital a great vfx CZcams channel always says 9 times out of ten a bad cgi shot in a movie is due to time constraints but I also agree it’s adds a special charm to the movie
its almost never the cgi teams fault. they are used and abused and neglected for ever and ever. Then, they take the fall and be the escape goats.
@@theiking7182 Nope. Time constraints is definitely a lie.
@@xtrm2009 Yep. Time constraints is a real thing.
Brendan Fraser gives credit to everyone else, remembers everyone he worked with. He even remembers the elephant's name. The man is a national treasure.
Forget national, this man is an international treasure.
@@jacobhall1180 Forget international, this man is a galactic treasure.
@@johncmoore416forget galactic, this man is an intergalactic treasure
@@Brosignious Forget intergalactic, this man is a multi-dimensional treasure.
@zombiebite Forget multi-dimentional, this man is a universal treasure.
I met Brendan when I was working as a deckhand on a local tour boat. I ran into him at an island buffet. He had taken a private boat to the island, and out of the hundreds of passengers I had serviced that day, he was the only one to ask me how my day was going. What a guy.
ok
@@bichnguyen-uc4ys 😀
Thanks for sharing hope he gave you an autograph. 🎊
👏
@@bichnguyen-uc4ys yeah your first name definitely fits you stfu
Brendan is such a beautifully thoughtful and articulate person. He expresses himself so genuinely, so effortlessly - it's like spending time with an old friend. If I ever get to meet the man himself, I could die happy.
Salty Pearl
It's all an act.
@@ifyouonlyknew811 that is what you are😅
@@karentucker2161 That made no sense at all.
@@ifyouonlyknew811It’s a figure of speech, hey I’ll give you this he did make The Mummy III
The Whale feels like a deeply personal performance.
I'm just happy that Brendan is back doing what he loves, and that he's given the chance to.
He just channelled himself leaving his own wife and kids for a guy back in 2007.
Lol wtf u guys talking about 😆 🤣 😂
1.1 M views in just 14 hours. For an actor who's not in the big screen for years, this just shows how much he is actually loved.
Hollywood tried to tell us he wasn't relevant meanwhile he has a massive fanbase who's always wanted him in the spotlight
He must have said something logical or factual one time, causing Hollywood elites to cancel him for not being their slave and 24/7 news parrot. They were wrong, nobody forgot about the legend.
Actually CZcams fabricates views and also puts such videos in everyone's page. They are a corrupt entity and are pure evil.
Because he’s such a phenomenal actor who could lumped into the action-comedy genre because of the Mummy. Talk about an authentic acting style.
I think it's just curiosity not actually "love".
This whole interview was about him, and all he could talk about was how good everyone else was. He’s such a good soul, I’m glad he’s finally getting the career he deserved
What do you mean finally lol
@ledgy69 He didn't have important roles for over a decade because he was blacklisted in Hollywood. He also used to get just comedy and blockbuster roles which tend to not be very well regarded for awards. This is the first time people are taking him seriously.
He’s so genuine
Where was his AIRHEADS commentary?
He’s such a selfless person. That’s why he’s so well loved.
"The very place itself is an important character in the movie." I love that, such an insightful thing to say. The Mummy was hands down one of the best films of the 90s.
I remember seeing George of the jungle in theaters 😢 rip mom
Hearing him say that he'd love to come back to the Mummy franchise honestly made me smile. Would love to see him play Rick O'Connell one more time.
Same!
This time either battling Dracula or the Wolfman. Would make it more interesting.
He's one of those rare actors that the entire internet will forever support, protect and cherish. He's endlessly humble and kind, very happy to see how everyone is towards him
Yeah, the other one is probably Keanu Reeves.
@@kusuma2664 Yea, truly one in Millions
I agree we must save this man. He is my childhood. Also Keanu Reeves also needs to be protected and loved.
@@YinKeket lol,spare us.
Very much do. He deserves his respect for the role he played in a lot of our childhoods and he is such a sweet man that had a hard road
This man is a national treasure and deserves all the love, support, film roles, etc. I hope we get a Mummy 4 and takes us back to Egypt.
We technically did get a mummy 4 the one with Tom cruise
@@KingKillerew, no. That one doesn’t count.
@@KingKiller k
@@KingKiller no we didn't
We dont talk about that
Bedazzled is so underrated, the acting he gives in that movie is superb too
No joke! It's one of my personal favorites. It's a fantastic parody/recreation of Faust.
That movie is hilarious weirdly tho I always forget that I like it
You can tell how much he identifies with his characters. He even had positive things to say about the CGI team for the scorpion king! What a class act.
Seriously.
Yeah. You can really tell he identifies as a whale in the movie the whale
@@Mazter1veteran your comment did well… I guess you’re not as funny as you thought.
@@Mazter1veteran
Well he certainly identifies with walking out on his wife and kids for a young guy because he did that in 2007. That young guy has been missing since 2008. His parents in China would like closure.
Met him at a convention a few months back. Got his autograph and his assistants kept telling people to move along and not talk to him or ask him for a customized autograph. He listened to every person and customized every autograph if he was asked. He made eye contact with everyone and he was so appreciative of each person in line. Absolutely fantastic person.
Maybe they asked everyone not to make requests because they knew he would fulfill them all and get himself at risk of burning out.
@@Charge183IF they said that because he was extremely popular and they wanted to get through the line as quickly as possible, they got a cut of the autographs so they got paid more if he signed more stuff. But when he signed my George of the Jungle poster and wrote "java Java java" because I said it was me and sisters my favorite scene as a kid, he looked at me after, smiled and winked lol everytime he made an appearance he got massive cheers and he cried everytime. He definitely was not getting burned out.
Every assistant is rude they try to hard at their job protecting a celebrity like let the guy communicate with his fans
@@think_amphibian0766 the fans are rude for cutting out the other fans
@@Will_Parker Ah. Nice to know. Thanks for sharing your impressions!
That John Cleese impression had me dying 😂 but i seriously like how down to earth and humble that he is seems like an awesome person
Dude had just won an Oscar, respect 🫡✊
Woo! It's about time!
Fist bump 🤜💥🤛
Yeah, I respect him DESPITE that, not because of it
He BOUGHT a pity Oscar with that phony sob story of his. The only bit of truth in it is his mother's death, and that doesn't make him special.
Being the 1990’s/early 2000’s kid that I am.. Brendan Fraser was a huge part of my childhood. I’m glad to see him making a comeback.
Same.
same
same
The man is 100% a zennial icon.
He’s making a comeback?
It's awesome how much the internet loves Brendan Fraser. Dude just emits good vibes and makes you wanna smile. I'm glad he's back at it and making movies again. His range and talent are insane.
Did something happen with him?
@@chava7263 Pretty sure he was nuked with a lot of emotions after being sexually assaulted by a movie guy(can't remember who it was), a divorce, and some health issues in between, would make anyone take a step back.
Brendan has made everyone's childhood so we have to
@@studentNEET319 yes he was part of mine as well. ❤❤❤
@@thanossnap4170 Philip Berk, just so everyone knows that bastards name.
I still remember when i learned of Brendan's story with Hollywood.
It hurts because i don't think there's many people more genuine, good and caring than Brendan Fraser, and i hope he gets the recognition he deserves. He's more than earned it.
I grew up with the likes of George in the Jungle, the Mummy; Brendan Fraser is synonymous with my childhood. I really hope he gets the continued career he deserves. Love you man. :)
Everyone names the same 2 movies. Some name up to 5. He has 59 movies. What a waste of film, money and time.
Even when talking about his OSCAR WINNING performance, he still prefers to elevate those around him. I just don't have the words for how wholesome this man is.
Look up the definition of wholesome. His picture isn't there.
This man was literally a pillar of my childhood. I had George of the Jungle and the 1st Mummy on repeat for YEARS. Glad he's getting the recognition he deserves!
Me too!
ME TOO!
Back in 2000 my 2 year old fell madly in love with George aka Brendan Fraser 😊. We had the VHS tape in the VCR and watch George of the jungle every single day almost all day long 😀. Brendan Fraser appeared on live with Regis and Kelly promoting the Mummy so of course I had it on the TV. I'm sitting in my chair watching the show Brendan was called out and my little almost 3 year old got star struck... Her little face turned beat red and she ran behind my chair as shy as can be. I think she thought he was in my living room. She was peeking around the chair because she didn't want him to see her 😀. I gotta say... It was probably the most innocent most adorable thing my child experienced at that age.
As this was going on in my living room, I was on the phone with my sister so she was getting the full blunt of all that was going on. Everyone in my family knew that my sweet baby was going to marry this man 🤣. So with that my sister tried to reach the station while the show was on to get Brendan to do a shout out to my little darling, she probably would've fainted 😊, my sister was successful getting in touch with the station but couldn't get the message to the hosts fast enough🤷. Oh well, it would've been cute 🤗
hol ay oh hol ay estim es bach
I homemade cosplayed as Rick O’Connell before Superman or Batman
Man, it is SO good to see Brendan so relaxed and animated. Considering all the crap he has been through, it;s nice to see his personality showing through again.
I am so with you. Brendan was one of my favorite actors
Came here to say this! Haven't seen him this relaxed and confident while talking in a while. He's definitely opening up and getting comfortable again, lovely to see.
Wait, did he fully recover? I only heard the news about his divorce and its aftermath
@@ibosu3190 I don't think we can say if he's "fully" recovered, but he's doing much better know and he's starting in a new movie
Yeah he seems like a very chill, very genuine guy.
Brendan’s Rick O’Connell character is such a iconic one .. he is so charismatic. ❤️
@Brendan Fraser hello Brendan , I’m not sure if it’s really you .. to answer your question I’m your fan since 2001😀😀
By God, there’s no word in the English language how excited I am to see this legend make a much deserved comeback! He’s been one of my favorite actors since I was a kid. Airheads, George of the Jungle, The Mummy and Journey to the Center of the Earth were my favorite movies of his when I was a kid!
Any mention of Airheads always gets an upvote!
"We can rock out after breakfast!"
Wow, 4 out of 59. What a loyal fan. Take a bow.
He’s so charming and wholesome. Every interview I watch of him I can’t help but get a smile on my face
Truly a gem of a guy.

The fact that this video has 3.3 millions views in just two days just proves this man still have tons of fans that never forgot him. It's pretty easy to tell that when you're in situations like this, you did a great job
He is very handsome in last mummy movie 😞😭
This channel has 7 million subscribers tho
@@Rumblingbelly true, but watch also the amount of views the previous videos got
This man is perfection. He is so incredibly well-spoken. You can tell he truly means everything he says and he chooses his words so carefully. I love how supportive he is of his castmates and how he speaks so fondly of them.
How many want anything to do with him?

Brendan Fraser feels like an adult child, but like, not in the immature 'man-baby' way, like, he just has this sort of child-like innocence, and it always makes me smile.
i know he has all sort of struggles, but i always hope he's doing okay, because i feel like he deserves to be happy.
He's on the spectrum.
I’m so happy to see him making a comeback.
He’s always been a great actor, and he’s always been generous with the praise of his costars, and it’s nice to see that hasn’t changed.
Once a jerk, always a jerk.
I love how he remembers every actors name, every director every animal…shows he was 💯 grateful and in the moment every second of his career. ❤
Even shoutout to the CGI guys and what they had problems with etc, and his favourite camel guy haha. This guy is a treasure.
or that he has prepared for the interview.
@@Kaspisify absolutely!!!!
Brendan is one of those actors/celebs that really feels like a person, you know? He doesn't put on a face, he's just himself, and that's beautiful. No wonder everyone loves him so much, because he's unfathomably authentic in every way.
Authentic and transparent. Even casually talks about beating it at 2:55 "Always busy off doing something else" *does jerking motion
He is the most person I've ever seen.
Like Keanu Reeves ❤ both beautiful inside and out
He always talks with such passion that makes me want to cry. He really loves his craft, if he didn't he would've had retired years ago, but instead he soldiered on no what what. Now the pay off came, and if there's a guy that deserved it, it's him. I'm almost sure thats gonna be a documentary about his second coming, it's the perfect comeback story.
Retire? And do what, deliver pizzas?
I too have grown up watching Brendan Fraser, I only just now really appreciate what an amazing actor he has always been. He has the kindest, softest eyes that shine out his lovely humble nature. I want to go back and watch the movies again........
Only with Brendan do you get a synopsis of the contributions of everyone when you're interviewing him, about him. I love his appreciation of the team and the collective effort that makes a film. He's a good guy, and absolutely deserves the fame. The absolute passion he has for everything he does and positivity he has. It’s just a joy just to watch an interview like this.
He's still in the Mummy Ride at universal studios Orlando which is awesome
Agreed
I love him so much 😭
hello kurtis :)
omg hey
G’day, mayor
Kurtis what are you doing here??
whats up checkmark
Brendan is a great actor. He is absolutely loveable. He was heartbreakingly gorgeous. He is so big hearted, humble, and amazingly talented. Love, love, love Brendan.
Time & time again in so many interviews you’ll hear Brendan praise the talents of his co-workers & fellow actors, often crediting many with his own opportunity to be able to perform well in any given movie. It’s so refreshingly earnest & it comes across as Brendan’s genuine desire to always acknowledge those around him & how he’s grateful for everyone. Much respect 🙌
It's called kissing up. He thinks they'll put him in another movie. They won't.
Brendan is the kind of actor we should put on a pedestal, he's genuinely sincere, proven throughout the years that he's such a empathetic person.
I actually got goosebumps when he talked about meeting everybody again for the Mummy returns, and talked so vividly about the guys he worked with the previous movie!
When ppl talk about art being special and universal.. Brendan personifies that
Yeah he’s definitely underrated and was soo handsome back then
Wow, its like you know so much about him as if you know him in person.
@@johnbernhardtsen3008 mmmmmmmmkkm kann
The Mummy is still one of my favorite films of all time. It has adventure, horror, romance, and comedy.
That’s what I love about it. It’s every movie genre, in one rollicking ride.
it's Indiana Jones for millennial generation.
I have watched the movie so many times can't get enough of it! It's in my top 10 favorite movies for sure!
And it does it all perfectly
You forgot action bro
The interview was about him and he nonstop talking about everyone else but him. I love all of his movies and how sensational he was I those movies. His voice, his funny character, his action character, his amazing acting, it's just an absolute delight for us his fans to watch.
His voice is somehow so rich with emotions, so vulnerable als if he has his heart in his mouth while he's speaking.
I sometimes got a little teary-eyed when he talked so full of excitment, so positiviely about others and all the things he loves and respects. So honest and pure.
I can only assume all this though :P since I don't know him but to me it really feels this way while listening and watching this video.
Well put. 👌
The best thing that’s happened in the last 10 years has been Brendan Fraser coming back into the spotlight. This dude is the upper echelon, top tier if you will, of humanity. Even after everything he’s been through, he’s still this kind and humble. I think I can speak for everyone when I say, WE LOVE YOU MAN!
I am a fan of his movies and he does seem like a pretty down to earth dude in this.
Why do you consider him the "upper echelon of humanity"?
Yes 🙌🏼
@@AlphaChinoz he's kind, humble, and still has an innocent feel to his aura though he was treated horribly
@@AlphaChinoz hes goated with that sauce fr fym
Despite the many hardships he’s had to go through, he’s still smiling and giving us his unabashedly honest opinions. Humble, funny, kind. I’m living for his comeback ❤️❤️❤️
Not despite but because of. We are ripened by suffering.
couldn't have said it better myself
@@sonnyvarioni1654 You either get up or you stay down. A LOT of people are forced to stay down because of the hardships they face. Don't glorify the hardships. Glorify the people. Brendan is amazing because of what he overcame, not because of the people who did it to him.
He can live my life before claiming any “hardships”.
@@lukasribin4168 what? your mom didnt buy you a fortnite skin?
He seems like such a genuinely nice guy. The way he praised the people around him and describes how he's just happy to be part of it all, is really inspiring.
What I love about Brendan is that when he speaks about his iconic roles he recognizes that the movies themselves are lighthearted entertainment. However, he has such reverence for the moviemaking process and gives 120% to each and every role.
I like how in almost every segment he talks more about the people around him than himself. Truly selfless and humble
Yes! What an amazing interview
Not only other people, but places, CGI, everything. And when he does mention himself, he does it in self-deprecating manner which he shouldnt do cause he is an awesome dude in every way :)
@@pukelius4128 Right? I really appreciate him but it's a bit sad. It's ok to recognise our own value, that doesn't make us arrogant /:
The first Mummy film will always be a genuine classic. The amount of injuries and broken bones he suffered during the trilogy doing his own stunts is horrific. I'm so glad he's back and happy after the utterly gross way he was treated by Hollywood.
IF he suffered such "horrific" injuries, why is he so gung ho to do another one? And who were those guys on set wearing identical costumes? STUNTMEN! He has a long list of them and they know he's full of ****!
This guy is great. I could have watched another 20mins of him just reminiscing of his acting journey.
I'm 40 now and grew up partially with his movies. Now I watch Encino Man and The Mummy with my 6 year old daughter. She LOVES The Mummy since I had already introduced her to Ancient Egypt. This man deserves all of the fame and comfort that he has recently received. Gods bless you, Brendan Fraser.
Those are sets in Morocco and London.
I swear Brendan is right up there with Keanu Reeves when it comes to actors you can’t help but love. Even if you tried to dislike him, or hate his movies, you just can’t not like the guy.
yea but brendan is actually a good actor. Keanu is a cool guy indeed but not that great of an actor
@@heffe1557 That's subjective at best and doesn't need to be addressed when talking about the value of a person.
@heffe1557 yeah and that's why he's one of he most successful actors in the world isn't it.....
ok now i want to see them both in a movie together
@@shaskakitea1785 but.. he's not wrong...
In HIS interview, he spent it talking up the other artists he worked with. I fell in love with him when I was a kid and I am in awe of him now. What a man.
I completely agree. He's so special.
I teared up watching this. He's so precious. He's so passionate and caring, and I'm so glad we have him back
Brendan has such a special place in my heart because of george of the jungle and the mummy movies. Seeing who he is as a person and not just an actor is beautiful. He is such a pure person and I strive for that.
@Brendan Fraser Since I saw the 1st mummy movie years ago!
One of my favorite actors growing up :) saw George of the Jungle and the Mummy in Tneaters. Two fantastic movies that introduced me to great talent. So happy to see him back in business. He was always a bright light.
This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. He speaks highly about everyone involved, his interpretation of the characters and scenes, and he is such a humble human being.
And he still remembers the names of all the costume & makeup people. ♡
@@tarajh exactly! Absolute respect 🙌🏼
whooooooooo cares

Watching Brandon Fraser’s comeback is truly a heartwarming experience… this man has done so much and I’m glad everyone is taking notice and appreciating
Done so much, AND endured such a horrific act of evil against him, yet managed to pick himself back up and rebuild his career.
Not a comeback. He’s continued acting; people just stopped paying attention to him.
@@Adamguy2003 all the more inspiring to see him back in the limelight, wishing him nothing but the best
I frieking love Brendan Frasier! I idolized him in the Mummy, I really hope he knows that we love him.
I missed seeing his beautiful soul in films. Him being back made me so happy. If only more were like him. Wb Brandon!
I hope Mr. Fraser knows how much he's loved and how much his talent is appreciated. You were my "indiana jones" or "luke skywalker". I grew up on Dudley Doright and The Mummy!
bedazzled is one of my favorites movies I loved rewatching it when I was a kid and all this time I thought this actor was dead smh🤦🏽 Brendan is an incredible actor so underrated he makes it feel authentic and real his performance in the whale is just incredible I hope I could see more of him in the future more life to him ❤
For being in Hollywood for so long, he seems abnormally normal, humble, and kind. Glad he's finally getting his flowers.
I agree. People knocked him for getting older. Like, seriously? The guy has nothing to prove and I love how kind and humble he seems. Everyone will grow old one day if they're lucky. Do so gracefully and enjoy life.
He could have just avoided commenting on the awful Scorpion King cgi, but he went out of his way to mention the cgi people were rushed to do it last minute, and he gave a convincing argument for keeping it if the film is ever remastered.
Good dude.
That's because Hollywood hated and blacklisted him for being a good person
@@LordVader1094 probably for the best. Seriously.
He's Canadian, that's why. I say that with all due respect to the incredibly high moral standards of their country, wish the USA had more of his humility.
I can't overstate how much I missed Brendan Fraser. He's always been like this, and it's why he can play those "Babe in the woods" characters so effectively. He emits kindness as his natural rest state. And someone get a script and Rachel Weisz on the phone, let's do the Rick and Evie show one more time!
We NEED a final Mummy movie with Brendan and Rachel and Arnold to complete the trilogy! (because no one counts Tomb of whatever emperor)
@@bec2549 I liked tomb of the dragon emperor
@@injetavel279 I think my problem was it was missing the characters and settings that made the first two so memorable/enjoyable 😞

@@bec2549 I missed Rachel a lot in that movie, even tho I enjoyed it I can't imagine another mummy movie without her.
Watching him acting in the movies he´s in, is just pure fun. This interview proofs a lot of the good things I was always thinking about him to be true. What a humble legend.
Interviews are a part of his job. He's still acting.
was soooo happy for Brendan to win an Oscar!! He’s always been crazy committed no matter what role
I hope Brendan knows how much we all have missed him, love him, and are all ecstatic that he’s back. He was a huge part of the childhood of an entire generation & will be immortal because of it.
Thank you, Brendan. It’s wonderful to have you back.
Hope he knows? Dude.. even the dead know by now. Overhyped internet simpletons literally can't shut up about it
I’d like to think that he knows. He was given a standing ovation for his performance and he just broke down and cried while saying thank you.
The fact that he describes the mummy as an action horror drama comedy really makes me happy. The mummy is one of my favorite films because I think it hits all those beats at different times. I think it can only be described as an adventure movie.
@xtrmst_01 the movie sucked, but Tom Cruise still rocks as an action star. He's a loon of a human being, but he's an awesome action star.
@@MeTaLISaWeSoMe95 he's not going to pump you so calm yourself down
A cult classic for sure
@@monkeytennis8861 the thing is that he is right: Tom Cruise rocks as an action star. That is like , pratically the only redeemable feature of that actor.
I’ve had a huge smile for the whole time watching this interview.
What an amazingly warm guy ❤
This is why he is one of my favorite actors: humble, kind, down to earth. Brendan, you’re awesome!
This man is responsible for a large chunk of my childhood experiences with movies. We love you, Brendan. 🖤
I had the honor of meeting Brendan once at a cosplay contest. He is as kind as he appears here. Very sweet. Even asked for MY photo! He took time to speak to all of us cosplayers, always gave compliments, and introduced himself. So humble and courteous. Beyond a gentleman. He is a priceless treasure.
How lucky you are
Oh man you are so lucky
What an awesome experience! Who were you cosplaying as?

Brendan Fraser is the most humble and talented actor I’ve ever seen. This is a rare combination and I wish him the best luck of the world, after all that he is been through! His newest movie the whale is so heartwarming.😢
Can we get Brendan and Keanu together?
When Brendan just remembers the people who worked with him and mentions them by name, shows he cares.
He's just a name dropper.
It warmed my heart so much when he, without any hesitation, said, “Absolutely,” when asked if he would ever want to return to The Mummy franchise. I was once just a little kid watching those films religiously on a little DVD player… they meant a lot to me. It would be incredible to see him reprise the role of O’Connell once more.
It’s convinced me that I need to watch them (first 2) again today 😂
I watch them routinely but I think it’s time again
I agree! I was shocked when he mentioned there was a 3rd Mummy movie. But I agree with Brendan, without Rachel it's just not the same. The first two were such classics and they still hold up today because of the characters/actors, writing and comedy timing involved was **chefs kiss**
I watched the movies religiously too!
3rd one wasn't as good with out Rachel, but 1 and 2 will always be amazing in my heart.
Saaaame
Brendan Fraser is a jewel we cannot let go. Keep him relevant. He gives us so many joy on the screen is beyond compare.
You guys are so dramatic it’s actually making me uncomfortable
whooooooooo cares
@@kk-qu1zc your mom definitely care when I left her place last night son
@@bumblebeebrass164 they think kissing celebrity feet will get them likes.
I really like Brenden Fraser, Keanu Reeves and Tom Hanks. All of these actors are so genuine and down to earth. I think more actors should be that way
Grew up watching his films, still to this day is the reason I’m so in love with Egypt as a history and culture. I’m so glad to see his come back and him win an Oscar. Well deserved
Mess with Brendon again and you Mess with us. He did not deserve the abuse he went through. We love you Brendon. ❤️
My father was part of the crew working on the third mummy movie and he always praised Brendan Fraser and how down-to-earth he was. He's really happy to see him again on screen❤
😊
The absolute humanity of Brendan Fraser is deeply moving. He lauds the creations of others, he shows true interest in his performances, the complete heartfelt nature of his honesty, it warms the heart truly.
It feels so real
Yet just by the start of this video you are proven wrong. How can one act in a movie have a main role yet still fail to realize what the movie is about and what genre is it suppose to be ... It's a fantasy-adventure-comedy, how hard is it to realize that ... If he is so interested and invested into something how TF does he not know wtf is the movie he PLAY A MAIN ROLE IN ?!!!!
So yeah, think again what he actually is.
@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy bc its all of those genres
I love that he is still excited for the idea of Mummy 4. Makes me happy.
The Mummy, when it released, I was stunned! SUCH a GREAT MOVIE! It was so great to see that kind of movie in the modern era!
The way he handles this interview is unlike any other. Rather than his ego flaunting stories about when he worked on these films… It’s him talking about how amazing his costars, directors and locations were. The personal stories are more about what he learned. It’s honestly refreshing and encouraging. This man is too great.❤
I was just thinking the same thing. He is so humble, hardly talks about himself, and is so enthusiastic about about the characters, stories, and people involved in the films.
He is truly humble, and I think he is still a bit shocked he ever got a role... it seems he still feels a bit undeserving, which is so wrong. He did deserve all and more. So glad he is back on the scene.
A lot of actors do this. Chris Hemsworth does it ALL the time. Doesn’t make them inauthentic but it’s a common move. Makes you more likable to heap praise on others.
Personal favourite is when he was defending and buttering up his CGI crew on the Mummy despite the CGI wasn't being good. Other celebs would have used that to make fun of the CGI team and chastises them for not doing a good job. He instead sympathise with them and argued that the cartoonish CGI is part of the charm of the film which what makes it so special to begin with. I just love when celebrities acknowledge the effort that goes behind the CGI.
Lies again? Institute College Obese Fat
Brendan goes so much further in depth about the process of film making and his appreciation of his coworkers than most of the celebrities I've seen do these interviews. His appreciation for his job and the people surrounding him really shines through...
Indeed it does. I also felt the same with ethan hawke
@@Dont_click_this_profil3 ok i wont
What an honest, and humble person.
I’ve always loved his movies, and I just loved him in this interview even more.
Honest! 🤣 Help! I can't stop laughing!
The Mummy film series is what made me love Brendan. He's such a talented and down to earth actor.
This man needs to know how much he means to us. Definitely honored being raised to his movies. The Mummy Trilogy, George of The Jungle, Journey to the center, and even looney tunes! Such a legend
Facts!
Don't forget Bedazzled!
Inkheart too! Might be a lousy adaption, but still a guilty pleasure of mine
Dude I loved him in looney tunes! I forgot all about that one!
I've always really enjoyed Monkey Bone, I can see why many don't though lol.
As a kid growing up, The Mummy was such an amazing movie; I don't think anyone else could have played Rick other then Brendan Fraser.
Well said @John Doe
Who is here after his Oscar win? I love Brendan and he deserves all of this
I’m so glad Brendan is now getting the love he deserves. The Mummy films and George of the Jungle were massive parts of my childhood, and looking back, it was all Brendan. He made those movies really fun with his screen presence and comedy.
The Whale just proves the man is a wonderful actor, and despite everything he’s gone through, he remains uncommonly kind and funny. I’m front row for the Brenaissance.
Great comment. I'm right there with you, front row for the Brenaissance
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!!! I rarely go a month without wanting to watch The Mummy. He has a natural chemistry with almost every single actor/actress he worked with. It's not a common gift in an actor.
What has he gone through?
Can’t forget that Looney toones movie
Don’t worry he’s a white male so he’ll get cancelled soon.
Brendan is so wildly genuine. The fact he was chewed up and spat out of Hollywood, and he's still this nice is a testament to what a good person he is. We as an audience are happy to see him back, and even more grateful that he seems happy too. 💚
Chewed up and spat out of Hollywood? A little dramatic there 😂 dude made millions and you want sympathy for him
@@Blake34593 His money got stolen by his ex wife so yeah I do feel bad for him and glad he's back
He was asked to sleep with a male Hollywood executive and refused, or so they say
It took him years to get another role because of him bringing up he was sexually assaulted. He had one voice acting job in 2014 and had no other until 2019. His ex took all his money and he was paying 900 thousand in child support.
@@Blake34593 he was blackballed
He is a precious man. The Mummy is by far the best summer blockbuster ever. Aged beautifully and still is amazingggg
when I was a kid, I remember watching George of the Jungle literally multiple times (I lost count)
Brendan's George is my personal favorite character he played.
such a fun movie to watch
To this day, Rick O'Connell remains the most lovable badass in an adventure film I have seen. The first 2 Mummy Films were perfection to me as a kid. And that still hasn't changed.
And it just makes me happy that Brendan is happy with his life again. Forever may it continue.
Same! As much as I like Brendan… the third one was where the mummy franchise lost my attention. Not because of Brendan, but because of where it went… where the new director took it.
Ikr.. The third really was, uh.. Yeah.. You know.. Eeessh..
well the first mummy sure was
Nothing beats the first two movies!!! I will never get tired of them!
Yeah love the mummy
The fact he can still intricately remember so many details and feelings about the films he's been in, and just how much he gives credit to others over himself, really shows how great of an actor and person Brendan is. I will never get tired of seeing this man win whenever he can.
He is an actor by trade.
@@darth420vader Some actors don't even remember the co-stars they share a screen with. They just say the lines and move on. Gwyneth Paltrow surprised Sabastian Stan by not remembering him at all.
He is so appreciative of everyone he works with, directors, actors, crew. He is just a genuinely wonderful person.
Funny how he never gives credit to his documented stunt doubles.
Brendan Fraser is such an amazing actor! To see him evolve in his career and finally on top of his game with his well deserved Academy Award for his performance in "The Whale" is a sight to behold. 😎👍🎉
With every movie Brendan Frasier thanks his castmates and praises how much they elevated the script, the performances and his acting...what a humble and kind man truly.
he praises his castmates and production, but IMO, it's really what Brendan Fraiser brings to the film that reflects on other actors and gives them more to act with.
I love how he mentions himself not being funny. Yet, his corky upbeat humor had me smiling the entire video. This guy has no earthly idea the impact he has made on so many people. I wish I could get a chance to have a simple conversation. And instead of him praising others and thanking others for opportunities and experiences, and rather let him know how incredibly thankful people are for what he’s done and continues to do. Thank you!! You’ve truly helped shape the lives of so many people.
Quirky.
The word is quirky.
I definitely laughed at the college joke lol
Did you ever got the chance of watching a DVD ou Bluray copy of the Mummy? The best part is his audio commentary track. Think about a 2hrs version of this video, but focus on the Mummy. Its AWESOME.
Ppl have done that, poor guy cries everytime it's cute but kinda sad that he isn't used to it
@CarolinaSP20 Thank you! This sounds legitimately awesome and I will check it out for sure now!
he is so sweet and kind and such a good actor! I'm very excited to see him returning to the screens, I can't wait to see him acting again
Egg
He has 32 years of acting credits.
What a beautiful soul. His descriptions of each film and person he worked with are so kind and genuine. I'm so glad to see Brendan having his time in the spotlight again.
