i want you to hit me as hard as you can
brendan fraser has brought us some fine films during his career which has been full of many ups
and downs and through it all he seems to be one of the few hollywood celebrities that most everyone
likes it seems like mr brendan fraser can do it all but there is so much more to this man than
just a guy who fights mummies and hangs out with cartoons not that there's anything wrong with that
and there is still so much more to learn about the phenomenon that is brendan fraser so if you wanted
to know a bit more about the man that everyone in america is rooting for then you've come to
the right place because you are about to learn 22 things you didn't know about brendan fraser
because 22 it's it's a good number number one brynden gives an absolutely amazing astonishing
dramatic performance in the film gods and monsters for which he starred alongside
legendary sir ian mckellen and this magnificent actor was so impressed with brynden that he told
an interviewer that he wished to one day be as good as an actor as brynden fraser
that's right sir ian mckellen aspires to be brynden number two brynden was notorious for
doing his own stunts in his early days which later in life led to many physical health issues such
as having knee replacement surgery an injury to his vocal cords and even a major spinal operation
brendan fraser puts his blood sweat tears bones flesh and his soul everything into the performance
he broke his body for our entertainment number three brendan was legally dead for 18
seconds on the set of the mummy and this happened during the scene where he's hung by the neck only
to be saved at the last few seconds but that stunt went wrong and brendan was actually hanged in real
life by his real neck with a real rope and when he was cut down he fell to the ground and awoke
several seconds later having no memory of what just happened making movies as dangerous number
four did you know canada has their very own walk of fame can you believe it and did you know that
brendan fraser is the first american-born person to receive a star on it well now you
know that even though he was born in indianapolis indiana usa his parents are canadian so he holds a
dual citizenship plus he's dudley do right and that's like the most canadian thing you can be
number five the hashtag metoo movement has been mainly focused on the women who have been affected
by the sexual deviants of the industry but brendan was one of the first men to come forward with his
own story of sexual assault he says that he did not come forward right away about the sexual
assault because of fear of retaliation against his career because the man who allegedly molested
brendan was very powerful and that has been a very common theme throughout the hashtag metoo movement
number six brendan fraser was an unestablished actor before he landed the role in encino man
where he plays the best caveman ever yet in his audition where he simply wrestled a plant without
any words he impressed producers so much that he actually beat out the likes of nicholas cage
and jim carrey who were both much more prominent names in the industry at that point number seven
brendan was very very close to playing superman and superman returns he was so far into the
process that he had a costume test where he donned the cape and said that quote you feel invincible
like you can fly but we never got to see brynden fly but he's flying in his own way number eight
brendan appeared in the 2019 bollywood film line of descent and received some positive reviews from
an la times critic saying that it is impossible to overstate what brendan brings to the movie
number nine brendan fraser's fans are so loyal that they will do whatever it takes to bring
him back to the silver screen so much so that his fans created a popular petition
to sign to inspire hollywood to bring back brendan fraser and this was on change.org which is the dot
org you go to to change things i signed it number 10. are you a marlin brando fanboy do you claim
to have seen every marlin brando film well if you do you're wrong as marlon brando's final film was
opposite brendan fraser in the animated movie big bug man which today has still never been released
release it already come on number 11. he donated his entire salary from the film gimme shelter
to the woman shelter that the film was shot in further proving just what type of a good
dude he really is number 12. brynden fraser is fluent in the language of english and french and
he gets to show off that french-speaking talent in the very underrated film blast from the past
brendan seems to love cartoons bringing to life characters like george of the jungle
and dudley do right as well as acting alongside the looney tunes and whatever monkey bone is but
did you know that there's an animated series based off the mummy franchise and brendan
fraser has nothing to do with it but something went terribly wrong and the mummy rose again
number 14 brendan often spits wise words of wisdom and he has a very solid quote about success which
i will say right now here it goes when i was younger i prayed for success now i pray that i'm
worthy of it number 15 he owns several horses i wonder if they've had their deworming paste
number 16 brendan is wonderful in the film bedazzled playing many variations on a very
pathetic character named elliot but apparently in the original cut he was so pathetic that test
audiences thought it was too much so the film was re-edited to make elliott a little less of a loser
number 17 brendan is an avid photographer several of his roles incorporate his love of photography
into the character most notably his guest arc on scrubs number 18. his role in airheads was
originally meant for john cusack but once again brendan's audition was so
good that he beat out the much bigger name number 19 brendan starred in the surprise smash hit
journey to the center of the earth based on the book journey to the center of the earth
kinda in a way and of course the film was such a smash hit that the studio wanted to start on a
sequel right away but unfortunately the director was unavailable so he was quickly replaced and
brendan who was friends with the director was very loyal and said that he would not be in the sequel
without his filmmaking buddy so brendan was also replaced by the rock number 20. in looney tunes
back in action brendan's character gets to hit the real brynden real in the context of this movie
and brendan said that shooting this scene was almost therapeutic for him he saw it as
a symbolic way of moving on with his life and his career and how he saw himself as a human person
number 21 he almost brought another animated character to life when he was offered the role
of inspector gadget but unfortunately the production ran at the exact same time as
george of the jungle and you can't be george of the jungle and inspector gadget at the same time
that doesn't work number 22 brendan fraser is on the verge of a renaissance of brendan's song sir
assance of brendan recently he has been seen in the popular show doom patrol playing
the fan favorite robot man he's also recently appeared in the steven soderbergh directed film
no sudden move and he will soon be working with other great directors too having landed
the lead in the darren narenarfsky on arvin arnor and earth's arenarski film the whale
as well as the highly anticipated martin scorsese directed dicaprio de niro starring film
killers of the flower moon upside down hard to pass up hey money
with the news of his casting in these roles the internet the world wide web which usually
is a vile place full of unfiltered hatred actually turned out in droves to say how
happy they were with this brendan fraser back this is what everybody's wanted this is what we've
all been rooting for for years brendan fraser may be the one thing to bring us all together
you know like a pepsi in the middle of a riot you've got this you've got this got it just
just know that the internet is so behind you we're so supportive there are so many people
out there who love you and we're rooting for you and we can't wait to see what you do next
shucks man and i'm just dreaming here but all we need now
is to hear that he's coming back as rick o'connell for another mummy adventure and all will be right
in the world the universe actually i'm thinking it should be a gritty dark r rated mummy movie
in the vein of logan or something like a violent rick o'connell swan song i'm just saying y'all
should make that but brendan himself the real man is nowhere near singing a swan song he still has
so much more to bring us and you know what in a way it feels like he's just getting started
