'I Wanted to be Reintroduced'

what'ya think? Hit or Miss? Who is the audience for this?

It should be noted he's large but not that large. Wearing a prosthetic.

He's been "Method acting" prepping for that role for at least a decade now.

The play was overrated tedium.

I hope he turns in a stellar performance and gets award noms.

He always seemed like a good guy, and on set injuries are the cause of many of his current physical problems.

Received a standing ovation at Venice film festival.

Many threw flowers whilst some threw krill.

He’d be excellent in Confederacy of Dunces.

The grotesque 300 lb bodysuit Fraser must wear was taken from a mold of De-Facto. Same sagging moobs, same limp dead flesh.

Sizemeat verificatia? Preferably when he was a young hunk.

I’m a fan and I hope this film is Brendan’s comeback. He’s been through a lot the last several years, including being sexually assaulted which led to a depression and backlash for reporting his sexual assaulter. You miserable queens need to show him some grace.

I've loved him since Encino Man, I want him to come back.

If the Sunday night world premiere of “The Whale” at the Venice Film Festival is any indication, Brendan Fraser’s return to Hollywood will be met with plenty of cheers — and even more tears. When the credits rolled on the Darren Aronofsky drama, in which Fraser plays a 600-pound gay man confined to a wheelchair, the actor was overcome with emotion.

Fraser sobbed throughout the six-minute standing ovation, which will likely put him at the forefront of this year’s best actor Oscars race.

In his review of “The Whale” out of Venice, Variety film critic Owen Gleiberman called Fraser “slyer, subtler, more haunting than he has ever been,” adding that he gives an “intensely lived-in and touching performance.”

He will be the first openly gay man to win best actor!

R14, the sobbing put him on the forefront of this year’s Oscar race?

I like him. I hope Aronofsky's film does for Brendan what The Wrestler did for Rourke.

[Quote] He’s been through a lot the last several years, including being sexually assaulted which led to a depression and backlash for reporting his sexual assaulter.

Again, and for the record: I never once laid a finger on him. Or in him.

did they really name this movie "The Whale"? 🐋

so offensive!

Pic from behind. That will get him an Oscar.
