30+ Times Brendan Fraser Stole Our Hearts In Interviews

Brendan Fraser made quite the name for himself in the world of acting, especially in the 1990s. We all remember him from side-splitting roles in comedic films such as George of the Jungle and Furry Vengeance. Not to mention his impressive action-packed roles in films like The Mummy and Inkheart. His knack for crazy stunts and his ability to switch between different acting styles made us love him all the more. Who could possibly forget his contributions to the big screen?

After a short break from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, we’re thrilled to witness Brendan’s return to the limelight. In celebration of his comeback, we’ve compiled some of his top interview moments that truly characterize the down-to-earth and humorous actor that we all adore and cherish.

Fighting Demons

Brendan Fraser is famously recognized for his funny actions and for always giving his all in the comical moments of his films. We couldn’t help but chuckle when his movie, Furry Vengeance, hit the big screen, showcasing numerous instances where Brendan had to spar with his crafty adversary, a raccoon.

Funny enough, Brendan was the one who thought to use the raccoon paws. He made it seem as if they were genuinely fighting. Brendan’s dedication to his acting work, no matter how silly the situation may be, is something we respect highly. He’s always fully committed and serious when it comes to his performances – and we feel a great sense of admiration towards him for this quality.

He’s an Underground Actor

Brendan Fraser’s work in film is made up largely of roles in action and comedy movies. It appears he is often selected for roles as a bold action hero, or as the character who is known for his comedic and clumsy mishaps. He has a knack for playing both the tough guy and the one who finds himself in hilarious, foolish situations frequently.

What we overlooked, surprisingly, was the sheer number of movies starring Fraser that seem to happen deep below the surface. We’re not entirely sure if Fraser himself even noticed this unique trend. Maybe his next film will take us by surprise, soaring sky-high for a change!

Meeting the Wife

Brendan Fraser and Afton Smith had a marriage that lasted over ten years, during which they had three beautiful children. Their separation was announced in 2007 after many years of shared love and companionship. This deep affection they had for each other during their marriage is clearly visible on Brendan’s face during this particular interview. Despite being parted now, it’s clear to see that there was a strong bond.

Brendan and his future wife first encountered each other at a barbeque, generously hosted by Winona Ryder on the Fourth of July. Not long after, they found themselves in a romantic relationship. In this moment, Brendan seems positively thrilled, as though he can’t quite believe his good fortune of having met the woman who would become his spouse.

Does His Own Stunts

Brendan Fraser’s films are usually packed with exciting action. In his movies, it’s often the case that Fraser finds himself tossed around at least a couple of times. But the question is, how many of these daring stunts is he actually performing on his own?

Brendan sure loves doing his own stunts, and he manages to pull them off without getting injured. Though, as he ages, it’s becoming harder for him to perform as many stunts as he used to. The good thing is, he takes these changes in stride, never losing his sense of humor!
