40 Tweets About Brendan Fraser Going Viral For Simply Being About Brendan Fraser
Usually, when a celebrity starts trending on Twitter, it is usually because they sadly passed away, or did something obscenely stupid or terrible, and sometimes just because their new movie is coming out soon. So when Brendan Fraser started trending, hearts skipped a beat.
However, Brendan Fraser wasn’t trending for any of the reasons listed above. He was trending because of a simple, wholesome reason: people love Brendan Fraser.
Folks on the internet and fans of all caliber jumped on the bandwagon to take a moment to fully appreciate how amazing Brendan Fraser is. While we’re thinking about it, go ahead and take a second, and reflect on how wonderful he is.
Fraser was a popular actor in the ‘90s, many considered him during this time as the epitome and inspiration of a himbo. Unfortunately, after a series of physical and emotional blows, he fell out of the spotlight and took a sudden hiatus from his profession.
Mostly known for his role in The Mummy trilogy, he has starred in dozens of other movies, including Encino Man, The Quiet American, Crash, and George Of The Jungle. He’s also provided voice-over work and appeared in minor television roles, such as the heartbreaking character of Ben Sullivan on Scrubs.
While some Twitter users didn’t really seem to have a favorite role played by Brendan Fraser, they were still so pleased to see him rising in the trends. One of the users jokingly imagined how his publicist would tell him about the wholesome outpour of unconditional love his fans have for him, making him a trending topic on Twitter, and it’s pretty spot on.
And since Keanu Reeves has blessed everyone with John Wick AND The Matrix, we all deserve Fraser’s return to The Mummy. However, back in reality, Fraser has been back in the acting world, with one of his most recent works being Robotman, aka Cliff Steele, in Doom Patrol.

Currently, Brendan Fraser is working on a major project with the director of Black Swan, Darren Aronofsky, called “The Whale.” Though we all know and love Fraser for more light-hearted comedy-adventure roles, fans shouldn’t expect anything close to that for this upcoming film.
Aronofsky is well known for this dark, melodramatic, and disturbing films, and “The Whale” is no different. Fraser will be playing a reclusive, suicidal teacher suffering from severe obesity.
