      career ruined, emotional pain inflicted, ostracized by the others.
      Well now that Harvey is in jail, where are all the people that kept their mouth shut and betrayed Brendan?
      Hollywood only willing to fix their image by giving diverse victims new opportunities. Everyone has forgot the real OG Brendan. Well not anymore, he is back.

    I really love this Renaissance period for Fraser, because I do believe he is one of the "good" ones in Hollywood, and if there's anyone deserving of the lead role in The Whale it's definitely him. I feel like the character of Charlie was conjured out of a mirroring of his own self, which is benevolent, humbled, tortured but optimistic. And I can't wait to see what he has for us next.

    I've always noticed with his interviews Brendan always gives praise to his co-stars/film staff and never brags on himself. He's a treasure, and I'm so glad he's making movies again!

    He makes me want to watch it 💛 my dad is actually 600 lbs and was actually more active than you'd think but it definitely caused tension in our relationship. I think my struggles with it - not wanting to make my father to feel ashamed but also wanting him to be around longer and him to be able to continue canoeing and running like he used to love. It was hard. I'm sure they both captured their roles well enough that I'll sit this movie out but happy to see him back ❤️

    Long, long, long overdue for him to recieve as much admiration and respect from the public and industry that he has. Coming of age with Brendan Fraser movies, my generation feels like we're watching a friend turn his life around. He deserves it.

    He’s getting his swagger back and it’s wonderful to see. So great to see him celebrated. It’s not just this role but a celebration of his entire career. We didn’t appreciate him enough the first time. Let’s not take for granted this second chapter. Let’s give this man the roles he has more than earned!

    Great listening to Brendan's heartfelt, insightful reflections! Shout out to Seth, too, for being a great interviewer and giving Brendan the space. Not many talkshow hosts are confident enough to let the guest speak for nearly 3 minutes without interrupting.

    If we're going to support any actor in Hollywood's career by going to their movies, I feel like this is a guy that we should do it with. He's just so humble and you can just feel he has had a hard journey in the film world/life in general.

    In 2000 I strapped Brendan into the backseat of a USAF Thunderbird F-16... a large and humble dude. 22 years later I met him at a FanExpo in Dallas to have him sign the picture of me buckling him into said F-16. He looked up and said, "It's you! It's you!" We chatted briefly as he recalled, "You gave me my barf bag!" I saw THE WHALE at Austin Film Festival 2022 - he's absolutely AMAZING!!

    I saw this and was in awe. Fraser is very endearing and believable in it but I want to say that Hong Chau's performance is really something else. She is an enabler without saying or recognizing her role that she plays in his destruction. It's really incredible.

    It’s not always the individual who is at fault for their weight and illness. As a nurse I often find that there are so many challenges to changing lifestyle habits.

      Mental Health & Addiction are two areas that we as a society & community are still failing, we are just not putting enough money & time into them. Food addiction is a real addiction, I know because I had it. I have been overweight most of my life & it wasn't until I worked on my addiction to food that I began to see results, lose weight & keep it off. For people with kids, two jobs, not enough money coming in, loads of bills, medical issues etc it can be really hard to tackle such an addiction, there needs to be more money & resources put into these areas to assist people. My sister is a nurse so I know what nurses have to deal with on a daily basis for stuff all pay & no recognition so let me end this by saying a massive thank you for everything you do! Nurses really are the superhero's in our world!

      My parents would guilt me into eating more as a kid which lead to an unhealthy weight. My dad would gaslight me into finishing off his food because 'we're poor and it can't go to waste' even if I didn't want to eat. My husband taught me that I didn't have to eat all of my meals if I didn't want to and I'm a lot healthier for it.
