The most enduring thing about his personality is how humble he reacts to any praise. It's good to see him find some healing by finally getting the support he deserves.

he did such a great job, i dont think another actor could have made it what it was. we lost alot of years from this man, at least hes getting some justice now. hopefully that gold digging whore of a wife is whale riddled with cancer.
Fraser is like that popular guy in high school who you knew was going to do great things. Then you lose touch after HS for several years until you find him on FB and seen how hard life has been for him. However, you always remember how cool and pleasant of a guy he was and you still root for him.

This man made so many of our childhoods fun and exciting. The Mummy, George of the Jungle, Loony Toons Back in Action and Bedazzled were and are absolute gems. When his life went down hill, we were all crushed and felt so bad for him. I'm so utterly glad he's risen again, now back in his stride and doing much better. Brendon is a national treasure. He deserves a world of love.

Same. How he smoothly changed characters is beyond me. The Colombian druglord and the NBA guy is the funniest for me. He was perfection in the charming guy character, I literally fell in love at the first sight of the character, then laugh in disappointment when the character is gay.
Made me so happy to see him succeed in the end, absolutely heartwarming. Brendan is nostalgia personified for me. The mummy and George of the Jungle were staples of my childhood.
I love this guy, glad he’s doing so well! 😊
I've always liked Brendan. I wish him all good things coming his way. He deserves it. 😊❤
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - if anyone deserves a career comeback/true happiness it’s our man Brendan!

You can just *tell* he’s a genuinely kind human being
He just won the Oscar for best actor! What a comeback
Brendan Fraser has the potential to make it even further in the industry. Seems like he’s definitely gone a long way as an actor.
This is one actor who actually knows how to act and has done so many broad portrayals which is only a testament to his ability. He deserves every bit of this comeback and recognition. Looking forward to many more movies with this highly elite actor.

I've probably watched Blast From the Past the most ...and Mrs Winterbourne. What a charming sweetheart he is. 🥰😍
I hope many more roles await him, and he gets the recognition he very much deserves.
Brendan Fraser is literally one of my favorite actors, and I still rewatch monkey bone every time I get a new friend! Who says that movie is a flop? It is Brilliant! I was also devastated when he wasn’t in the journey to the center of the earth sequel. But I can’t wait to see more of him!!! 🎉
It warms the heart to see seemingly everyone speak positively of this guy and be happy for his successes. I really hope he receives a resurgence, well deserved
What a legend Mr Fraser every kid of 90s and 2000s saw mummy franchise and George of the jungle and some of his other movies what a comeback.
He is still so underrated actor and deserves more respect and after knowing what struggle he did my respect for him has been increased love u Fraser❤
No way! No friendly way!! Brendan Fraser has a lot of range as an actor. IMHO, that hasn't changed whatsoever. He was part of my childhood, as well as many others. His latest movie is only making his comeback well earned!! ❤️
I'm So Happy For Him, He Deserves Much More! 💙❤🙌
Someone give this man his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame already. He actually deserves to walk amongst the greats.
Somebody please make The Mummy Rise of the Aztec! Brendan Fraser deserves an epic comeback after everything he went through.
wwatching him cry of happiness while everybody applauded, made me want to cry
Brendan Fraser & Tobey Maguire are my all time fav hero's from childhood. No one can match their legacy. It hurts that they both went through bad phases for more than any time. But now finally it seems that they both getting the rise & fame respect they deserve. Love they both. Biggest fan. From - India
Bringing him back is bringing my youth back on screen. I found characters going to the gym to become the gunk they need to be on-screen impressive already, but gaining weight on purpose for that very reason is impressive on a whole different level.
Someone needs to get that young actress some Mummy DVDs! Brendan was my hollywood crush in the 1990s! What a good-hearted man. So happy to see him in the spotlight again.
Great talent never dies 🙏very happy for him
Don't call it a comeback, he's been here for years.... Here in my heart. 😁
Hollywood owes this man everything
He is a living legend, true treasure.
The man is now an Oscar winner. I'm so happy for him, but he will always be George of the Jungle for me.
He was never gone, he was just underappreciated
Brendan never went away, people did....he's worked consistently over the years, albeit smaller indie roles, he's a magnificent human and actor.
it's so good to hear he's making a comeback and things are turning out for him. He was one of my favorite actors.
His work in Doom Patrol is extremely underrated. He put emotion into an emotionless mask before Mandolorian did
He was the perfect leading man for todays marvel scene. Ayyractive, can do action scenes and can make you laugh. Was just ahead of his time.
I love him so much! So happy for him! 💖💖💖 He's such a great actor and he seems like a really good soul, much too good for Hollywood!
Brendan is a very underrated actor, his acting skills have a very wide range. He has that natural lovability factor that very few actors have. And really seems to be a super lovely man! ❤️
I’ve been a fan of his since Encino Man, so glad to see him making a comeback!
Appreciate your self reflection at 1:03 Watchmojo
He was absolutely spectacular in The Whale. Incredibly moving portrayal of a loving but broken man. I hope he wins the Academy Award.
Brendan Fraser deserves all the success and all the acolades he's getting and so much more. He had his career shot off at the knees when it was at its peak, and now he's coming back!
Brenden deserves better; Hollywood did him wrong. If he is nominated for an Oscar for The Whale, then I would be happy for him.
I wish him all the best. He s an amazing actor
Amazing and a beautiful soul! Big part of my childhood❤ WE LOVE YOU!
I ❤️all his movies... he's just so adorable 🥰
His reaction at the end to, I'm guessing, his co-star's statement only knowing him as Charlie was so precious ❤ Brenden Fraiser and Keanu Reeves are probably the only 2 people in that industry (or anywhere, honestly) that have entered Saint territory. They deserve a hundred times squared the love, kindness and respect they always give everyone else ❤
This guy is honestly my childhood hero, I am definitely going to go see the whale when it comes out.
That hug with Sadie was so beautiful. Brendan is the sweetest. 🥰🥰🥰
so true we have grown up seeing his movies ......inspirational comeback
When he got the standing ovation.. I'm sure just like me there were other ppl who cried too....💐💐❤️❤️❤️

Its nice to see you back on the big screen Brendan, congrats on your best actor award. Ive been following you since high school. All the best of luck my Idol!
He was most handsome in the Mummy movies, for sure!
I love him ♥️ He deserves so much more
I had so much fun watching “A Blast From the Past”. Total entertainment. One of my favorite feel-good movies of all time. The innocence shining through in his acting comes from within his personality. Glad he is making a comeback. “…and the Oscar goes to…”
He was a big part of my childhood. I've always been looking forward to his movies and wondered what happened to him considering how amazing of an actor he is. Now that he's back, it feels like a missing part of my life is now fixed. Just like how Steve from Blues Clues made that video as closure for leaving us for College and never coming back.
Bro topped it off w an Oscar
And Brendan also said that he's open to do another The Mummy project. Congrats. Brendan! Truly deserved
Happy for this man. Looking forward to future projects
