It is the comeback of the decade: Brendan Fraser experienced sexual assault 20 years ago, was pushed out of Hollywood, struggled emotionally and mentally and worked his way to an Oscar win with an unparalleled performance out of nowhere.
Oscar for Brendan Fraser: The comeback of our childhood hero unites the internet
After George and The Mummy, Brendan Fraser was at the turn of the millennium one of the biggest movie stars ever. In 2003, Philip Berk, then President of the HFPA, sexually assaulted Brendan Fraser. Due to the traumatizing coercion and the ignorance of the entire industry, Brendan Fraser withdrew.
20 years later, there is a comeback for the history books: for months, Fraser has been celebrated for his brilliant performance in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale and has won one award after the next. Not only is the film highly emotional, Fraser himself sheds quite a few tears in interviews and acceptance speeches – and elicits glassy eyes from even hardened cynics.
After a brief tremor in the last few meters of the Oscar race, the coup is complete. The childhood hero of every millennial accepts the Academy’s coveted award for Best Actor.
