i love how soft spoken and shy he sounds, while the majority of the characters he plays are almost always loud, energetic, and confident. i wish him the best, he really deserves the spotlight.
His voice was damaged in a surgery to correct spinal damage from the Mummy. He was always soft spoken, but it's gotten to be a real health concern. He's the man. He gave the audience everything including his voice.
Unfortunately he sustained vocal damage during a spinal surgery from injuries from doing the Mummy movies. He gave the audience everything. It makes you appreciate all of his films even more, knowing the personal cost it took on him physically.
I agree with you. But you know what the issue here is? The person who apparently did this, has never stopped denying it. Also, nobody else has ever accused him of the same thing, so there can't exactly be an investigation. Think about the setting in which he said this, me too was big (still kinda is), his career had stalled badly due to him NEVER looking after his body and he had been type cast by that point, in action type roles. And after he said this, he's back in the limelight, he's even got a fan made Facebook page to try and save his career... has anyone stopped to consider that he could just be lying? The benefits to his career have been massive since he came out with it. We also need to realise that 39% of accuser turn out to be liars... 39%... out of 100 people that means 39 were lying. And we just automatically believe Brendan... no investigation, no other victims, just him... come on..
@@rezarfar so we should assume its a lie and move on? Fuck you. If he is a victim he needs all the help this society can give and if he isn't than he needs to be corrected. For as long as we know i rather believe because i know i wouldnt push those claims unless it was true.
Brendan Fraser is one person i really hope succeeds. even if its not in acting i hope he succeeds in life. seems like such a genuine person. i would class him with keanu reeves, two genuine guys just giving there heart and soul to the projects they join
@@hannibalhazmat7349 sorry bud, but no. Mads and his brother Lars are too full of them selfs *know both of them. The difference is that guys like Keanu and Bendan, they don't see them self as above others. (not saying Lars&Mads are assholes(because they were super nice to me when i was a kid, but mentally they will never reach the level of Keanu and Bendan :)) Mads and Lars both see them self as above us "regular" humans. And that makes it almost impossible to have a down to earth conversation with them. edit: not saying they are assholes, Mads spend almost a full day trying to get a Christmas present for his nephew- he probably could have called some one to fix it, but he drove around to different toys'r'us's to get what he needed.
I think Brandon Fraser's 'awkwardness' comes from taking a moment to think about what others are saying, and deeply empathizing with them, and trying to give the most genuine answer to what he's asked.
Dumb people are the most confident. To play devil's advocate, are they really dumb if they succeed? But everyone knows the nerds are shy and the bone heads are anything but. I say this as a guy who moved approximately once a year while growing up, I was always the new kid, and I was too much of a knucklehead for the nerds and too much of a nerd for the knuckleheads
That's actually quite common in really artistic people. Especially as you grow as an artist. It's kind of a spiritual journey of tapping into others emotions. The more you can understand and respond to peoples emotions, the much better the art gets and the deeper the connection you can make with others. In interviews you can definitely tell the difference between an artist and a performer. That is not to say one is any better than the other. Both have their place and both serve their purpose. Some artists don't like the spotlight and therefore have performers perform their art for them. Some performers aren't really that talented and creating art but they're extremely good at performing it. Some are really good at both. But you can definitely spot an artist when they speak. Creative people are by far some of the most interesting people to speak to. Sadly they're also some of the most misunderstood people.
this guy and the roles he chose to play early in his career got me through some tough shit after my dad was killed. he is one stranger that i am so immensely grateful for.
God bless both you and whoever is reading, dont forget Jesus loves you. He died on the cross for our sins and rose three days later. Have an amazing and safe day!❤️
He is so kind and sweet. It feels like he's been through so much crap that he's moved by the smallest gesture of kindness, like when Sway told him to come back anytime. Also, he even excuses rude people saying they might be having a bad day. I wish nothing but the best for Brendan. Hope he can finally get his career and life back. Give him good roles and I'm sure he'll handle the rest. We all already know he can act.
Aww. He's so shyyy 😆 the interviewers play off that really nicely, and respectfully rather than pushing him too hard. I love Brendan because of the mummy franchise-the proper one
Joe Cronin Show Wow! I had no idea! I just googled it. And Brendan just said she was a good mom! Probably not talking shit about her for his kids sake. Gotta respect that!
Johnny Depp sis the same thing. He knew his horse would be killed after he wrapped Sleepy Hollow, so he bought it and took it home with him. These are two class act human beings ❤️
@@yvettejones5323 and viggo mortensen after the Lord of the rings. One of his horses he got attached to it and it got injured and he decided to adopt it and let it retire at his place.

Loved your action films and shared a lot of tears and laughs with my family while watching your dramas and comedies. Thanks for entertaining me through some of the darkest and confusing parts of my life. Good actor.
Amen. He deserves nothing but success after the hell his ex-wife put him through. It hurts to hear that trauma in his voice, but in these recent interviews of his it seems like he's starting break out of his shell a little better.
Met him yesterday such a lovely and humble guy, I’m so glad he’s getting back out there and doing a lot more acting. He’s so talented and deserves the world, I met him at London comic con and it’s amazing he’s interacting with fans and seeing a smile on his face all day was just amazing
Blast from my ass lmfao I used to say that alot growning up good movie lmfao I still listen to random songs and tell people this is where it takes off Haha and do the finger dance hahaha
@@Fnelrbnef He really destroyed his body doing his own stunts for the mummy films. He's had multiple surgeries, even a spinal surgery and was in and out of the hospital for like, 7 years I think he said. Not to mention the sexual assault. He's also said that he was battling depression because of that, and his divorce and the death of his mother.
I remember as a kid after the third Mummy came out me and my dad saw him at LA just hanging out at some burger place me and my dad weren’t for sure on this but when we did we politely asked for a picture and we was more than accommodating and very nice about it! Real stand up guy and very genuine!
Man, if I were a great script writer, I’d write an Oscarbait film just for Brendan. I feel like at this point he could really pull off a deep, thoughtful performance.
He literally just had a 6 minite standing ovation for his role in The Wale a few days ago and everyone is saying he could easily be a frontrunner for an academy award. Fingers crossed he gets it
Doom patrol is such a great show, literally every character has a serious backstory, but it's meshes well with the funny outlandish scenes. I glad to see Brendan back playing fun, versatile roles.
First time watching Sway's channel in a while, but the respect he and his team have to let Brendan speak without interrupting him is awesome. Especially for all Brendan's been through in his life. Great job and loved this interview!
His humility is so great. Just such a gentle person and should be a role model to all young actors. I was nervous for him doing this interview wondering if people would know him but reading the commentsan does it feel good to see so much love for someone who was treated so unfairly.
Brendan Fraser was a big part of my childhood. Sitting in the living room with my parents and watching his movies is one of my most precious memories i have with them. i am so glad that DC cast him as robotman.
@Fraser, The Big Fat Liar. You act like watching movies was the _only_ thing this dude did with their childhood. I’m sure they did other shit too. Besides, your name is “Fraser, The Big Fat Liar.” You obviously have some beef with him. Do you not like that everything he did wasn’t “School Ties” or “Gods and Monsters”? Did he take your girlfriend in high school?You realize Ian McKellan praised his performance in the latter right? I think I’ll take _his_ word over some obviously buttmad dude on the internet.
I was growing up during the time when he was in these hugely successful, often family friendly films constantly and I just remember the fact that everyone was enjoying them. I'm in my late twenties now and my dad passed a few years back and watching some of Frasier's films that I remember from my childhood bring back the fond memories of my dad like which jokes he'd laugh at the most. It's funny how some films will stick with you like that, even if they're just goofy slapstick comedies.
I love how soft-spoken he is, how shy and humble and tonally modest, and I intuit this sort of deep sadness beneath the former and present success and familial vibrancy. He has such talent, I think, left to be mined. What an old soul. I predict an Oscar nomination for Aronofsky's next film, "The Whale."
@The Truth v Brendan Fraser Disagree. Because he's phenomenally talented, has been in the industry and paid his metaphoric dues, is a genuinely kindhearted and humble man and Aronofsky's project will let his talent truly, deeply shine.
Brendan has been an actor I have admired since I was 10 and saw the mummy. 20 years later, I'm a mom who is still a nerd and watched doom patrol, despite being a marvel over DC fan, solely because he is there and he has made me fall in love with these misfits. But other than that, I admire him as a father. I have twins on the spectrum and so often people speak to me like it's a disease but he speaks as if it's a gift, which it is. Thank you for being the first and remaining my favorite actor for so much of my life.
This man....this man.....i hope he reads comments on his appearances, Brendan you ARE the man!! Grew up with this Hero! And still growing with him. Love from Ireland friend!!
I read the story about the horse and there was a lot more to it. His kindness is very touching. Most introverts and people on the spectrum relate much better to animals than people.
@@christopherstone4336 he has always been a extroverted introvert. He plays up the larger than life characters of some of his films as part of his job, but really is shy and inwardly nervous. He's spoken about this in various interviews. He has also suffered from depression throughout his life, not just with divorce and career stalling. Cheers.
Bro, i got super sad for Brendon when she asked that... feel so bad him. Could tell it gets to him. Season 2 has 10 episodes, only 9 released because they needed to shoot scenes when Covid 19 hit during episode 10s filming. Hope we're able to get that 10th episode and a 3rd season!!! It's such a good series, repeating what I read somewhere, "Doom Patrol is what the X-Men movies should have been."
He was a huge fav. Always felt sad when he faded away. Learning about the truth of what happened felt like a personal hurt. So happy that he's rebuilding his career. Following him and enjoying watching him all over again.
Wow. Thanks for having Mr. Fraser in the studio for this. I initially had no hopes for the Doom Patrol show, but seeing him tear up that role has turned me around 180 degrees.
Really great to see a Hollywood actor who appears socially awkward and someone who does not have his fake turned up to 11! Kind of reminds me of Jeff Goldblum (compliments by the way). Really great interview, like the show... Subscribed. Best wishes from an English guy in a French forest. 🏆
nigelcarren Jeff goldblum.... that guy isn’t even on this planet anymore. Lol they are definitely socially awkward in very different ways. Brendan is reserved and shy and goldblum is out of his mind. Lol
Hey@@Myserieden should I be worried that I have always thought of Jeff Goldblum as just a sweet level-headed normal guy? Perhaps this explains why I can count my friends on only two fingers... and BAD LUCK mate, you are one of them, which reminds me... Can I borrow your lawnmower later please? 😂
Hey@@raphythemighty2613 , like a big eejut, I sold everything and bought a giant ruin of a house in said forest then moved here! As it turned out, this was a stupid idea. I really have gone quite mad... please send chocolate and warm socks URGENTLY! Tell your EVAC chopper pilot to watch for my flare! On the plus side however, I am now unhappy in two languages. 😂😂🚁 Best wishes from me (and all the mice in the workshop).

Just love Brendan, such a genuinely humble and kind man. He seems like he’s so full of humility and empathy which is such a rare find in this world especially in Hollywood. You’re truly admired Brendan!
I love Brendan Fraser's work and I was so happy to see him back on the screen. Some actors make you feel so good through their work that you miss them when they are not around. Brendan Fraser was truly missed. He is so versatile and an excellent actor. Whether comedy, action, or drama, he kills every time. Thank you for taking time away from your kids (and horse : )) to entertain us again. Your kindness and humility are humbling.
Ive never seen such a positive reaction to an actor on the internet as i have for Brendan fraser , the guy is so lovley, kind and funny.Glad to see him back!!!!
@ I agree, good actor but I do think the potential for great is there now that he's going for more nuanced roles and can't really do the action star thing.

@@Brokowski1 Meh...I doubt it, but he has already made his mark on Hollywood in a successful way.
It's so strange to see him interviewed, so soft spoken and almost shy in comparison to how he sounds on Doom Patrol. I was a little sad when he said it was another guy who played the robot, because you spend most of the time imagining it is him.
This guy is one of the most entertaining actors of all time and still has a huge heart...respect 'Now get out there and give a hundred and ten percent as the chips fall where they may.'
I admire sway. This man needs more credit.. What a fucking angel he is... You never hear anything back, always building people up, hype man, makes anything cool... Yeah, sways the man
Far more soft spoken and shy than how he was in the mummy interview 20 years ago. I love Brendan and glad he's getting good roles and that people are on his side.
The fact that one pervert changed the liveliest best actor of the 90s to a quiet shy man is unacceptable. This man was my childhood, I literally watched anything he was in because of him. It's heartbreaking. I'm so happy he's on screen again but you can just tell there's something holding him back. So sad . I love you brendan. You were my childhood ❤❤❤
Can't remember where I saw it... It was an article of Brendran Fraser and the life he has had. My whole hearted appreciation is reached to him. He is such an awesome guy that is wanting to do good. People like that are wonderful to have.
I’ve never seen such a true love that fans of Brendan Fraser have for him. He’s always been is great movies and has been great in them. Everyone wants him to succeed and I’m with them. I was so happy to hear he was gonna be in Doom Patrol.
We love you Brendan. You can just tell that he has such a good heart and is a decent person. I love watching him, even though it seems like life hasn´t been great to him over the last years.
Great host and great guest’ I’m So happy for this man and he’s just as handsome as ever. I can still see the vulnerability in his eyes and the hurt as well. Praying that more healing will come to him.
Brendan Fraser is a national treasure. I love the way Sway and every one there treated him as such. The love in that studio was palpable and it made it truly heartwarming to watch this because of that. God bless Brendan's beautiful soul
Brendan Fraser, you are one of my favorite actors. As a kid, films such as, Encino Man, School Ties, and With Honors were some of my favorite films. You had a tone of hits in the 1990's, and your continued success in the early 2000's, was awesome. I wish you success, and I look forward to the day you prove to Hollywood's elite that you've risen above their bullshit and blacklisting. Brendan Fraser, you got a raw deal, but your comeback is going to be the ultimate payback! :-)
Just when you think that you can't like someone more than you already do... You find out that they're a decent, genuine, down to earth guy! Honestly, watching this it feels like he's a friend telling you about his job and it would be great to go for a beer with him. Big respect to the Fraser!
I felt the emotions watching The Mummy the other day, glad to see Brendan Fraser coming back on top. Gotta watch doom patrol now Also, sway, your hashtag says brendafraser instead of brendanfraser
Season one of doom patrol was batshit hilarity and poignant sadness. One of my fave series in a long time. Cant wait for to see season 2!! So happy to see Brendan Fraser back to acting. So underrated in my opinion. I hope he keeps healing and being his naturally awesome self. Everyone needs Brendan fraser in their life!

Doom patrol is such a great show, literally every character has a serious backstory, but it's meshes well with the funny outlandish scenes. I glad to see Brendan back playing fun, versatile roles.
Brendan Fraser seems like a good dude, his eyes and mannerisms give it away, real humble. Air heads rules!!!!
The lone rangers
Awesome!!!!
First time watching Sway's channel in a while, but the respect he and his team have to let Brendan speak without interrupting him is awesome. Especially for all Brendan's been through in his life. Great job and loved this interview!
He’s so soft spoken. I never heard him talk as himself always in character.
The rallying around Brendan Fraser is but a small indicator of how compassionate we can be as a species.
This comment feed is so wholesome it's heartening to see.
He is in most of our childhood memories. Some of the best memories
His humility is so great. Just such a gentle person and should be a role model to all young actors. I was nervous for him doing this interview wondering if people would know him but reading the commentsan does it feel good to see so much love for someone who was treated so unfairly.

Well said
Facts
Brendan Fraser: Bedazzled!!!
Except The Mummy was released in 2002.
Why do I want to hug him so bad? he reminds me of my dad if he somehow would have overcome his depression :(
I think you need the hug, (hugs)
Brendan Fraser was a big part of my childhood. Sitting in the living room with my parents and watching his movies is one of my most precious memories i have with them. i am so glad that DC cast him as robotman.
It’s pronounced Robotman.
@Fraser, The Big Fat Liar. What’s sad about it?
@Fraser, The Big Fat Liar. You act like watching movies was the _only_ thing this dude did with their childhood. I’m sure they did other shit too.
Besides, your name is “Fraser, The Big Fat Liar.” You obviously have some beef with him. Do you not like that everything he did wasn’t “School Ties” or “Gods and Monsters”? Did he take your girlfriend in high school?You realize Ian McKellan praised his performance in the latter right? I think I’ll take _his_ word over some obviously buttmad dude on the internet.
I was growing up during the time when he was in these hugely successful, often family friendly films constantly and I just remember the fact that everyone was enjoying them. I'm in my late twenties now and my dad passed a few years back and watching some of Frasier's films that I remember from my childhood bring back the fond memories of my dad like which jokes he'd laugh at the most. It's funny how some films will stick with you like that, even if they're just goofy slapstick comedies.
@@stinks7065 💯💯💯
My faves:
The mummy
Journey to centre of the earth
Bedazzled
Encino Man
Airheads
Bedazzled for sure
Monkey bone has always been a guilty pleasure for me, it's such an insane fucking film
Don't forget "School Ties" with Matt damon. Underrated gem.
Class act, no fronts, honest, humble and kind... not the egotistic norm, thank you Brendan, much love from TH-cam world and your fans at large!
That was a lovely interview. He's such a humble, sweet man and a talented actor.
His compassion for animal warms my heart, like Viggo Mortensen.
I love how soft-spoken he is, how shy and humble and tonally modest, and I intuit this sort of deep sadness beneath the former and present success and familial vibrancy. He has such talent, I think, left to be mined. What an old soul. I predict an Oscar nomination for Aronofsky's next film, "The Whale."
@The Truth v Brendan Fraser Disagree. Because he's phenomenally talented, has been in the industry and paid his metaphoric dues, is a genuinely kindhearted and humble man and Aronofsky's project will let his talent truly, deeply shine.
Damn you were right!
There’s a legit sincerity about Brendan.
Brendan has been an actor I have admired since I was 10 and saw the mummy. 20 years later, I'm a mom who is still a nerd and watched doom patrol, despite being a marvel over DC fan, solely because he is there and he has made me fall in love with these misfits. But other than that, I admire him as a father. I have twins on the spectrum and so often people speak to me like it's a disease but he speaks as if it's a gift, which it is. Thank you for being the first and remaining my favorite actor for so much of my life.
This man....this man.....i hope he reads comments on his appearances, Brendan you ARE the man!! Grew up with this Hero! And still growing with him. Love from Ireland friend!!
He is Awesome Jesus loves you man❤️
I read the story about the horse and there was a lot more to it. His kindness is very touching.
Most introverts and people on the spectrum relate much better to animals than people.
He wasn't always introverted.
Yeah his ex taking all his money and the kids crippled him psychologically.
@@christopherstone4336 he has always been a extroverted introvert. He plays up the larger than life characters of some of his films as part of his job, but really is shy and inwardly nervous. He's spoken about this in various interviews. He has also suffered from depression throughout his life, not just with divorce and career stalling. Cheers.
Bro, i got super sad for Brendon when she asked that... feel so bad him. Could tell it gets to him.
Season 2 has 10 episodes, only 9 released because they needed to shoot scenes when Covid 19 hit during episode 10s filming. Hope we're able to get that 10th episode and a 3rd season!!! It's such a good series, repeating what I read somewhere, "Doom Patrol is what the X-Men movies should have been."
He was a huge fav. Always felt sad when he faded away. Learning about the truth of what happened felt like a personal hurt. So happy that he's rebuilding his career. Following him and enjoying watching him all over again.
Wow.
Thanks for having Mr. Fraser in the studio for this.
I initially had no hopes for the Doom Patrol show, but seeing him tear up that role has turned me around 180 degrees.
Really great to see a Hollywood actor who appears socially awkward and someone who does not have his fake turned up to 11! Kind of reminds me of Jeff Goldblum (compliments by the way). Really great interview, like the show... Subscribed. Best wishes from an English guy in a French forest. 🏆
nigelcarren Jeff goldblum.... that guy isn’t even on this planet anymore. Lol they are definitely socially awkward in very different ways. Brendan is reserved and shy and goldblum is out of his mind. Lol
Hey@@Myserieden should I be worried that I have always thought of Jeff Goldblum as just a sweet level-headed normal guy? Perhaps this explains why I can count my friends on only two fingers... and BAD LUCK mate, you are one of them, which reminds me... Can I borrow your lawnmower later please? 😂
I thought the same for Jeff Goldblum! It was welcome to see him back in cinema!
Wtf u doing in a French forest bro
Hey@@raphythemighty2613 , like a big eejut, I sold everything and bought a giant ruin of a house in said forest then moved here! As it turned out, this was a stupid idea. I really have gone quite mad... please send chocolate and warm socks URGENTLY! Tell your EVAC chopper pilot to watch for my flare! On the plus side however, I am now unhappy in two languages. 😂😂🚁 Best wishes from me (and all the mice in the workshop).
I just wanna hug and ask for his 90's smile ☺ he seems like a very nice and friendly guy. Push forward Brendan!
Just love Brendan, such a genuinely humble and kind man. He seems like he’s so full of humility and empathy which is such a rare find in this world especially in Hollywood. You’re truly admired Brendan!
I love Brendan Fraser's work and I was so happy to see him back on the screen. Some actors make you feel so good through their work that you miss them when they are not around. Brendan Fraser was truly missed. He is so versatile and an excellent actor. Whether comedy, action, or drama, he kills every time. Thank you for taking time away from your kids (and horse : )) to entertain us again. Your kindness and humility are humbling.
Ive never seen such a positive reaction to an actor on the internet as i have for Brendan fraser , the guy is so lovley, kind and funny.Glad to see him back!!!!
I love doom patrol. DC made a come up with these mature shows.
You never lied
So weird and surreal, I love it.
Doom Patrol really shocked me. It's definitely a good show
I wish we would see more of him on the screen! He's a good dude and a great actor!!!
I don't hate him or nothing, but "great actor"???😂😂...don't be so daft! Decent actor, good maybe.
@ I agree, good actor but I do think the potential for great is there now that he's going for more nuanced roles and can't really do the action star thing.
@@Brokowski1 Meh...I doubt it, but he has already made his mark on Hollywood in a successful way.
@ He was amazing in Scrubs.
@ Watch him in "The Condor" series. He is a great actor. He just tends to get parts that are not heavy on the drama so it does not shine through.
It's so strange to see him interviewed, so soft spoken and almost shy in comparison to how he sounds on Doom Patrol. I was a little sad when he said it was another guy who played the robot, because you spend most of the time imagining it is him.
This guy is one of the most entertaining actors of all time and still has a huge heart...respect
'Now get out there and give a hundred and ten percent as the chips fall where they may.'
everyone forgets his best movie , Bedazzled !!!! love Brendan fraser !
I think he gave that movie a hundred and ten percent.
He wanted to do good, he hoped he'd do good and I think he did pretty good.
Monkeybone!
...that sunset is so beautiful
Cocoina, IT'S COCOINA!!!
Aohhh Mierda, "I am a Columbian Drug Lord".....
"RHEOOOOOUULLL!"
gives new so much satisfaction in life!
I admire sway. This man needs more credit.. What a fucking angel he is... You never hear anything back, always building people up, hype man, makes anything cool... Yeah, sways the man
Rick O’Connell was his best character. The mummy is a classic
Better than school ties?
Linkovich Chamalski all the way bro
Loved the mummy. Saw it multiple times in the theatre and countless times at home.
That movie is such a classic and Rick was so hot.
Far more soft spoken and shy than how he was in the mummy interview 20 years ago. I love Brendan and glad he's getting good roles and that people are on his side.
It's understandable with what he's been through but glad he's coming back with more confidence
The fact that one pervert changed the liveliest best actor of the 90s to a quiet shy man is unacceptable. This man was my childhood, I literally watched anything he was in because of him. It's heartbreaking. I'm so happy he's on screen again but you can just tell there's something holding him back. So sad . I love you brendan. You were my childhood ❤❤❤
Im so glad the brenaissance is hitting strong he is one of the few people i can name in hollywood who are genuinely good wholesome people
The man has been to hell and back. Good to see him again.
i wonder if they made Shazam in the 90's he would have been perfect imo! Love him and my fave movie is The Mummy.
If they make a second movie I could totally see him being Uncle shazam/ Uncle Marvel/ Uncle dudley
Honestly his performance On the Mummy should have earned a golden glone nod!
He is blacklisted by Hollywood I guess
Wow yeah. Wow he would have been perfect. Thinking about it he may have been THE most perfect person ever for that role.
I can’t get over how sweet and gentle this man is. I just want to give him a big hug and talk about all my favorite parts of the mummy.
This man and Keanu reeves are the best.
They say you learn something new every day. Today I learned that you can Fed Ex a horse.
Love Brendon in Doom Patrol, your voice has so much character and humanity.
I agree. You can't help but sympathize for Cliff.
If they ever made a Banjo-Kazooie movie I want Brendan Fraser to play Banjo.
Andreas Nordvall that comment makes zero sense yet I can’t tell you why you’re not wrong.
How can something so wrong sound so right ?
That makes no sense and the most sense at the same time
Random but I can dig it
Perfect
Omg this is the best comments section I have ever seen, so much love and respect!
Can't remember where I saw it... It was an article of Brendran Fraser and the life he has had. My whole hearted appreciation is reached to him. He is such an awesome guy that is wanting to do good. People like that are wonderful to have.
I’ve never seen such a true love that fans of Brendan Fraser have for him. He’s always been is great movies and has been great in them. Everyone wants him to succeed and I’m with them. I was so happy to hear he was gonna be in Doom Patrol.
Seeing Brendan Fraser brings back so many memories. The Mummy and The Mummy Returns were definitely my childhood favorites. I'm glad to see working.
dang. and i thought i was soft spoken. i dont ever want anyone to say "speak up" to me ever again! #soft&sweet
He had surgery on his throat :(
Brendan is so wholesome it legitimately makes me happy just hearing him do good and be excited about his work ❤️
The fact that he spends so much time singing the praises of his co-starts is a testament to his integrity.
We love you Brendan.
You can just tell that he has such a good heart and is a decent person. I love watching him, even though it seems like life hasn´t been great to him over the last years.
I'm always taken aback by how soft spoken he is in real life compared to the high energy he has in movies.
What an incredibly humble and nice person. The world needs people like him.
What a sweetheart of a man. So glad 2022 is treating him well.
Great host and great guest’ I’m
So happy for this man and he’s just as handsome as ever. I can still see the vulnerability in his eyes and the hurt as well. Praying that more healing will come to him.
His calm voice could defuse any situation
Brendan Fraser is a national treasure. I love the way Sway and every one there treated him as such. The love in that studio was palpable and it made it truly heartwarming to watch this because of that. God bless Brendan's beautiful soul
His little rise in his voice at the end of his phrase is so precious, he has such a young voice.
I'm so happy to see all these comments passing the vibe check. 🙌
Just going through loving all the kind comments on how kind and thoughtful man he is. Such an understanding dude
Brendan Fraser, you are one of my favorite actors. As a kid, films such as, Encino Man, School Ties, and With Honors were some of my favorite films. You had a tone of hits in the 1990's, and your continued success in the early 2000's, was awesome. I wish you success, and I look forward to the day you prove to Hollywood's elite that you've risen above their bullshit and blacklisting. Brendan Fraser, you got a raw deal, but your comeback is going to be the ultimate payback! :-)
And how your comment has aged well by coming true👍.
His voice acting on DOOM PATROL is amazing :)
He's freaking hilarious on Doom Patrol. He's me fave character!
Brendan Fraser swearing is so cool its like What The Fuuuuck
I've never been sad to seen an episode of a show, or a movie that had Brendan Fraser. Keep it up man! Good Hunting! #BrendanFraser
Just when you think that you can't like someone more than you already do... You find out that they're a decent, genuine, down to earth guy!
Honestly, watching this it feels like he's a friend telling you about his job and it would be great to go for a beer with him. Big respect to the Fraser!
That made me feel so good OMG knee slapping and giggling with Glee throughout! You all are the best and ty! For taking care of our Brendan Frasier!!!
I felt the emotions watching The Mummy the other day, glad to see Brendan Fraser coming back on top.
Gotta watch doom patrol now
Also, sway, your hashtag says brendafraser instead of brendanfraser
Omg watch it, it's so worth it
Encino Man and Airheads. One of my first crushes. I just read his story after 2000's and it is heartbreaking. I'm glad he is back. Take care Brendan!
Love Brendan Fraser he never lost it!
Brendan is such a pure and humble human being. The world needs more people like him.
@BRENDAN FRASER I'm watching from the north east of Scotland.
@BRENDAN FRASER no sorry. Stay positive.
Season one of doom patrol was batshit hilarity and poignant sadness. One of my fave series in a long time. Cant wait for to see season 2!! So happy to see Brendan Fraser back to acting. So underrated in my opinion. I hope he keeps healing and being his naturally awesome self. Everyone needs Brendan fraser in their life!
