The star of «The Mummy» Brendan Fraser gained up to 270 kg. New photos shocked fans
He made this change for his role in Darren Aronofsky’s drama Whale. The first shot from the set was published on the Twitter account of the A24 film company.
The film is part of the official program of the 79th Venice International Film Festival, which takes place from August 31 to September 10.
The first shots from the shooting show only the actor’s head, but it is already clear that he has completely reincarnated into a cloudy main character.
Keith tells the story of a man named Charlie, who gained up to 270 kg due to the loss of a girlfriend and severe overeating. The protagonist tries to restore relations with his 17-year-old daughter Ellie, who is angry with her father for leting down his family.
«There must be something we haven’t seen yet. That’s all I can say. It’s certainly far from everything I’ve done before, but I don’t want to be modest. I think you’ll be impressed,» he says.
It should be remembered that Brendan Fraser has gained a lot of weight in recent years due to injuries and personal problems on the set of The Mummy.
However, this was not always the case and fans remember well how his excellent form was the envy of many in their young years.
In his youth, the actor had an athletic physique.
Brendan Fraser suffered from excess weight and was in danger of losing his career.
Recall that there was a period in the actor’s life when there was little work. He rushed headlong into each project and was seriously injured on the set of the third part of «Mummy»: broken rib, rupture of the intervertebral disc, knee and vocal cord injuries. For several years, until 2015, Brendan was often in the hospital to improve his health. As mentioned earlier, this is one of the reasons for the sharp increase in the actor’s weight.
