This is what Brendan Fraser, star of ‘The Mummy’ and ‘George of the Jungle’, looks like today
After a movie and TV career spanning more than 30 years, Brendan Fraser is one of the most recognized actors in Hollywood. Here’s what he looks like today.
With more than three decades starring in movies and TV shows and almost 60 titles in his filmography, Brendan Fraser stands out as one of the most recognized figures in the entertainment industry.
Born on Dec. 3, 1968 in Indiana, Fraser obtained his first major role in 1992 in the film “Private School”, where he shared the stage with Matt Damon.
However, it was not until the end of the decade that he achieved global success with films such as "George of the Jungle" (1997), “Gods and Monsters” (1998), “The Mummy” (1999) and ‘Bedazzled’ (2000), which helped establish him as one of the most sought-after action and comedy actors in Hollywood, remaining a key figure in films of both genres.

Unfortunately, being an action movie star took its toll on him. While filming “The Mummy”, the actor nearly lost his life when he was accidentally suffocated. Fraser lost consciousness for a few minutes.
This was just one of several unfortunate incidents, as without a stunt double, the actor suffered several injuries to his back and knees, which led to him to undergo several surgeries.

In addition to his health problems, Fraser went through a rough patch in his private life. In 2003, the actor not only got divorced, but was also reportedly sexually abused by Philip Berk, the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the time. All of these events led to an eventual estrangement in Hollywood and his temporary retirement from the industry.

However, in recent years, Fraser has managed to get his career back on track and return to the big screen. In 2022, director Darren Aronofsky gave him the opportunity he had been waiting for years with the drama “The Whale,” in which he co-starred with Sadie Sink, Hong Chau, and Ty Simpkins. Thanks to his impeccable performance, Fraser was awarded the Oscar for Best Actor in 2023.
His upcoming projects include titles such as “Batgirl”, “Pressure”, and “Rental Family”. This is what Brendan Fraser looks like today, at 56 years old.
