  • In our latest WTF series, we take a look at some of our favorite stars and filmmakers who have seemingly disappeared or altered their careers over the years to the point that begs the question; WTF happened? Now, before you think we're just picking on celebrities or running some gossip rag stuff, think again! We take a fun (and sometimes funny), researched and fair approach, looking at all angles that led our subject to wherever they are now (which isn't necessarily a bad place at all). If anything, it answers the question on where these fine folks went, how they got there and where you can find 'em now.
    Our first entry in the series focuses on the beloved Brendan Fraser, who has seen a wild ride of ups and downs throughout his career and we shed some light on how that all went down. You may very well be surprised at his journey.

    • @coandc
      @coandc Před 4 lety +144

      kay oss I don’t think that’s necessarily true. The Kardashian’s are hated much more than Brendan Fraser. However Fraser is more sensitive it seems. Where the Kardashian’s dismiss all the critics regardless of validity, Fraser doesn’t. The fact that after the golden globes thing he got quiet instead of coming out and laughing about it and moving forward is evidence of that. To be clear the Kardashian’s suck, and they should be more self aware. Brenden Fraser seems like such a nice sensitive person that he takes that stuff personally.

    I think part of the reason that Fraser disappeared from the spotlight is because he's a genuinely nice guy, and Hollywood is a cesspool. The same happened with Tom Selleck years ago.
