Not a few hope that Brendan Fraser can make a breakthrough in his latest film. The Whale is his latest film after he last played the main character in the film Breakout (2013).

For his latest role, Brendan Fraser is willing to change his physical appearance to become an obese teacher.

If you know about Brendan Fraser's personal life and what happened to his career, you should cheer him up. This is a beautiful moment worth showing," wrote one netizen.

"Brendan Fraser was blacklisted from Hollywood for daring to voice up cases of sexual violence, now he gets the moment to return to the industry that threw it away with #TheWhale," added another.

Brendan Fraser has been abused by Hollywood executives, blacklisted from major films for two decades, and returned with his struggle for 6 minutes of appreciation for acting. A winner," wrote a netizen.

In 2018, Brendan Fraser made a confession that he was harassed by Philip Berk, the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. He also experienced divorce, depression, and made his career stop.

This year, he returns with the film The Whale which tells the story of a man named Charlie who tries to communicate with his long-separate son.

Besides Fraser, The Whale stars Sadie Sink, Samantha Morton and Hong chafe. The film will premiere December 9, 2022 in the United States.
