Brendan’s fight: the kindest video with his speech that will move you to tears
In the 1990s, Brendan Fraser was a superstar. And then a black streak began in his life. In 2023, he made a triumphant return, overcoming many obstacles and now inspiring millions of people.
Darren Aranofsky’s The Whale, starring Brendan Fraser, was released in 2022. For the actor, this is the first big project in the last 10 years.
Frazier was a superstar in the 1990s. But then something went wrong. Brendan was the victim of harassment, against this background, it is assumed that he began to gain weight and … ceased to be a sought-after artist.
The return for the actor was in some sense prophetic. In The Whale, Fraser plays a 270-pound man who is drowning in his own problems – psychological and physiological.
Brendan managed to overcome his ailments in real life, and today he is back on horseback. Touched, embarrassed, but happy to be able to be needed again.
At the beginning of 2023, the Critics Choice Awards were held, where Fraser was awarded the statuette for Best Actor in the film The Whale. The actor took the stage and, swallowing tears, gave a speech that touched our hearts. We hope yours is too.
“This movie, The Whale, is about love. It’s about redemption. It’s about finding light in a dark place. <…> I was ignorant, lost, leaving no trail of breadcrumbs, but you, Darren Aranofsky, found me.
And like all the best directors, you showed me where to go to be where I need to be. If you, like Charlie, who I played in the film, are somehow struggling with obesity or just feel like you are immersed in a sea of darkness,
I want you to know that if you have the strength to get up on your feet and go to the light, then everything will be good”.
After that, the audience in the hall rose from their seats.
