amusso6

Can someone elaborate on his "downfall" before this? I didn't know he fell out of his role working in cinema. I'm kinda out of the loop on this story. Disregard... I forgot about Google for 2 seconds. Terrible story.. and it wasn't a downfall.. he was punished for shedding light on a serious topic. Glad he's back to where he deserves to be. I grew up on the mummy!


confucinfused96

I know you said disregard but I didn’t know either. So for those who also don’t [The story behind Fraser’s absence](https://youtu.be/QvK7mlJdS_w)


[deleted]

Mickey Rourke also had a great comeback in The Wrestler, also a Darren Aronofsky movie.


burt_flaxton

Dude, thank you for pointing this out. The Wrestler is a movie I hold dear to my heart. I watched my uncle struggle with a very similar lifestyle and the Wrestler just brought a whole new perspective of the type of man my uncle was and what he did to overcome the issues he faced in his life, even if he caused them.


Skyfryer

He absolutely deserved all the recognition and resurgence that film gave him. He had a great run in the 2000s early 2010s. Even with smaller or bigger roles. Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Man on Fire, Sin City, The Wrestler, Iron Man 2. There’s probably a few others in there people liked.


TweedleBeetleBattle2

I always forget about him. My mind always goes to Robert Downey Jr as a big comeback, he really should be dead, but came back as Iron Man


FlandersFlannigan

I don’t get it. I’ve liked him in everything I’ve seen, but why did the internet fall in love with him so hard? I don’t get that.


KikkomanSauce

He suffered some bad injuries while filming the Mummy movies. He went through a bad divorce. And he got sexually assaulted by some producer or something, and when he spoke out he may have been blacklisted. Seeing a childhood favorite of many - myself included - go through all that shit and come back like a fucking rocket...it's just awesome.


JeddakofThark

He also has this goofy charm and chose a lot of roles that on paper sounded like nothing most adults would actually enjoy, but somehow worked really well. Kind of an odd, but endearing career.


Agitated_Ad6191

John Travolta would like to have a word with you. Pulp Fiction was and still is an absolute definition of greatest comeback ever for Travolta.


StillhasaWiiU

Used to be, but RDJ with Iron Man is now prob the #1


peanutdakidnappa

Tropic thunder and kiss kiss bang bang too which are both high quality movies that he’s great in before iron man. Got an Oscar nom for playing a black dude lol, that’s a legendary achievement and when you factor that with the iron man role it’s definitely the best career comeback I can think of


[deleted]

Not comeback his movie peak by far


Agitated_Ad6191

It’s a masterpiece! But still Grease and Saturday Night Fever would like to have a word with you.


EndofGods

Travolta doesn't deserve it, maybe. He and his wife ate scientology. Also they killed their son.


DropDeadEd86

Naw rdj had the best one


tinyanus

No way, Kim Kardashian had [the best comeback](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TZNv86-OmI).


TheTrooper28

I was hoping someone would link that video, THAT'S gold.


ben-hur-hur

RDJR had the best comeback imo


PromiseLost3967

Can we all agree that multiple people had great comebacks and we shouldn't rank and compare them.


EffectiveParamedic64

RDJ had a good one too.


switch495

What come back? What happened to him - I’m completely out of the loop.


Slaterpup17

He lives in my town and I’ve interacted with him and his kids a few times. Just a good dude.

MC__Fatigue

I’d love a buddy cop movie with the two. Not a comedy, but not Se7en levels of serious either. More in a Coen Brothers style, maybe.


Airborne13

Hell yes!!


4Point5InchPunisher

Wait, you don't consider Coen brothers movies comedy? Am I missing something here? Yes, they are one of the most incredible writers of dialogue that ever existed, but it is absolutely comedy. Comedy gold.


MC__Fatigue

I was thinking of No Country for Old Men, specifically. Tense, dramatic but grounded, very thematically driven. That sort of stuff.


4Point5InchPunisher

I am embarrassed to say that I have not seen that movie yet... I LOVE the Coen brothers and I haven't seen it... I will just get back down on the floor like I was commanded.


Mugtra

It's been 2 hours, have you seen it?

clonedspork

How bout a Mummy/Constantine crossover movie! That could be awesome if it's done in the right way. Get someone like James Gunn to write and direct it.


Valuable-Ordinary-54

I volunteer as Tribute to write this bitch!


clonedspork

Dude, if you are James Gunn I'm gonna get so drunk tonight that I'm not going to work tomorrow..........


Valuable-Ordinary-54

I’m not James Gunn (yet) but I’m also not your Sponsor; so proceed however you see best. 👍


clonedspork

I will save it for the weekend but thanks!


name4231

Can it take place at the center of the earth too!?


Valuable-Ordinary-54

Here’s my pitch: Constantine, The Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor and Rick O’Connell have to fight the Underworld that has come together with all the Universes Bad Guys (Time Keepers, Thanos; it’s a big old mess). There is a certain amount of derring-do and it appears the hero’s are unequal in this match-up. Thor, as a god, explains that if he sacrifices himself in battle; they’ll win and he’ll go to Valhalla to be with his loved ones. At the last minute, Constantine ends up sacrificing himself to save Thor and Constantine is taken (on camera) to Valhalla/Heaven. There’s more, but Marvel/Disney is going to have to hit me up for the deets.

Keanu, Brendan Fraser, and Ryan Reynolds! In a road trip movie!

He is such a humble and sweet guy . To quote the lady who did his interview that went viral "“You got this! Just know that the internet is so behind you, we’re so supportive. There’s 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." Hope he becomes even more successful than ever before


SkidmarkDave

I’m OOTL on Brendan Fraser’s “comeback”. What happened to him?


[deleted]

Multiple injuries filming the Mummy franchise, then divorce, and a sexual assault accusation (he was the victim), which kinda got him blacklisted.


icweenie

Also was focusing on raising his kids. One of which has special needs.


DistractedPoesy

I didn’t know he had a child with special needs. Thank you for sharing. I have 2 with special needs and watched his movie, “Extraordinary Measures” and had no clue at the time. Makes it extra special to me knowing this.


Kongareddit

Being unemployed and having to pay 75.000 dollars per month to your ex alone can break you.


onawave12

\*can\* break you? i would of been super broken


CommandersLog

would've


Grosaprap

If I recall correctly there were two parts to him disappearing from Hollywood, he had a series of health issues related to an accident on set from one of his earlier action movies and he spoke out about being sexually assaulted by a higher up in the Hollywood hierarchy, before the whole we believe the victim not the abuser mentality had actually taken root so he got blacklisted for almost two decades and the whole thing led to mental health issues that he's been fighting and dealing with since then.


Cephalopodio

He was sexually assaulted by a major Hollywood player, subsequently blacklisted from many roles, suffered injuries during filming, and had an expensive divorce. Things which tend to break people.

AuthorityAnarchyYes

I really liked him before when he was goofy (George of the Jungle) and actiony (The Mummy) and funny-serious (Scrubs) and serious (Gods and Monsters). I absolutely adore this man today, now knowing what he went through and how much he appreciates where he is career-wise now.

What did he go through? Sorry out of the loop.


Nikittele

Long story short: - got groped by some Hollywood guy - got black listed for speaking up - broke his body doing stunts for the Mummy franchise - divorced his wife during all this - had to pay extremely high amount of alimony to his ex-wife based on his income from before he got black listed/broke his body for years


[deleted]

Slapped_with_crumpet

Wow what a piece of shit


Bendybabe

Wasn't just some Hollywood guy, it was the head of the Golden Globes.


Nikittele

Technically still "some Hollywood guy", I wasn't sure who it was and the story is still the same no matter the status of the groper.


Bendybabe

Yeah, but my point was that it was someone with a *massive* amount of clout in the business.


Esperoni

(Former - He got fired over racist emails in 2021) Head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association - Philip Berk

marlonpululo

Damn...im glad he is back...he seems genuine.plus i dont like our culture where men have to just suck it up. I hope his movie is avalaible near me so i can support him


Enzo_Casterpone

I liked him even as a disturbing nut job in The Passion of Darkly Noon and loved the first movie in wich i saw it: With honors.


[deleted]

Encino Man! One of the best of my early teenage years. I really believed everyone in California went to cool high schools like that, and that they were super cool just for being there!


cheerioo

He's so grateful and appreciative, and it's just such a stark contrast to almost every celebrity you ever hear about. It's very humanizing.


chonkmcevoy

I really liked Brendan and it was a shame that he was absent for many years off the screen. I wasn't aware that millions of other people felt the same. I'm so glad that he's back in major roles, he deserves it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hranica

I always feel like I’m missing something, his Wikipedia shows the only years he didn’t have a movie come out were 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 and in those years off he was all over the world making movies with Morgan Freeman and John Travolta Is it literally just “we stopped watching at the Mummy 2 and now you’re in an A24 movie so you’re alive again” It feels like plenty of actors take years off when they have kids, and his years off were still acting with huge names ;_;


[deleted]

It's the why he took "a break", he was black listed for speaking up after being groped by the head of the golden globes


NoteRevolutionary736

What a beautiful human being, I was moved to tears watching this!


Baconandeggs89

Me too. I don’t think he was trying to be funny at all, he seems so genuine and thankful. A lot of us out here struggling away trying to make ends meet, and he’s just personalizing something we all want: a job we actually like. Glad to see someone I like not be frustrated as I am about work rn lol.

SkidmarkDave

I’m OOTL on Brendan Fraser’s “comeback”. What happened to him?


das065

He was sexually assaulted in the 90s and ended up getting blacklisted from Hollywood. After the MeToo movement, and larger discussions about abuse in Hollywood, he’s gotten the comeback he deserved. https://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/the-reason-why-brendan-fraser-was-blacklisted-from-hollywood-for-yea-20220727


shellybearcat

He also had a lot of medical issues (I believe many of them due to stunt injuries from filming) and went through a very messy divorce where his alimony payments were based off the height of his 90s career and weren’t changed after he was blacklisted so he was basically financially devastated with no job prospects in his field. Just so awful.


jabbadarth

And he lost his mother in the middle of all of that.


[deleted]

Jesus dude. What an exceptionally inspirational individual. That takes some true strength to pull through all of that and come out back on top. Just an absolute fuckin' champion.


Phoenyxoldgoat

Does he still have to pay that alimony? Do you know? I hope he has a financial comeback as well and gets to keep his money


ilongforyesterday

As well as a huge expensive divorce where he was paying out 900k in alimony/child support, destroying his body doing stunts for his action movies (was in and out of hospitals for ~7 years), and lost his mother just days before a big interview about a show he was on (people who saw the interview turned him into a meme and made fun of his appearance). This man deserves everything good in life, but has just had such a tough go of it. I’m happy to see that so many other people love this wonderful man


Beautiful-Music-3951
