Brendan Fraser's performance in 'The Whale' has been hailed as his comeback -- a word, he says, that 'doesn't hurt my feelings.' But it's not the one he'd choose.
Actor Brendan Fraser attends the premiere of "The Whale" at Alice Tully Hall on Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2022, in New York.
Fraser's performance been hailed as his comeback -- a word, he says, that "doesn't hurt my feelings." But it's not the one he'd choose. But regardless of all the role's transformation trappings, Fraser's performance resides in his sad, soulful eyes and compassionate interactions with the characters that come in and out of his home. It adds up to Fraser's most empathetic performance, one that has returned him to the spotlight after years making quickly forgotten films like "Hair Brained" and the straight-to-DVD "Breakout" .
"The term was `himbo,"' he says. "I wasn't sure if I appreciated it or not. I know that's bimbo, which is a derogatory term, except it's a dude. It just left me with a feeling of profound insecurity. What do I have to do to please you?" Aronofsky instead depended on his gut and an old axiom: "Once a movie star, always a movie star." Plus, Fraser was hungry. He wanted the part desperately and was ready to put in all the work, all the time in the make-up chair. Still, Aronofsky would later marvel, watching a clip reel of Fraser at an awards ceremony, at the juxtaposition of "The Whale" with movies like "Encino Man," "Bedazzled" and "Airheads.
"Now I know my purpose. Take everything I've learned. Own it. And, if possible, let if fuel the work that comes before me," adds Fraser. "It's a nice idea, but what work will come before me?"
