Someone Shames Brendan Fraser On His ‘Deteriorated’ Looks, Gets Destroyed In The Comments

Whatever happened to Brendan Fraser? An icon of the ’90s, with a string of starring roles in classics like Encino Man and The Mummy, he seems to have fallen almost completely out of the spotlight in recent times.

Of course, this is entirely his prerogative; after a successful career with well over 30 films under his belt and the hectic celebrity lifestyle that comes with it, retiring to a quiet corner of the world to enjoy the fruits of his labor is an entirely understandable move.

But that’s not what happened. Fraser hasn’t retired and has actually enjoyed quite a comeback of late, starring in TV series TitansCondor and Trust, as well as the film The Poison Rose.

    However, there have been some very real and very difficult struggles in Fraser’s personal life that have clearly affected his career. So when somebody uploaded a ‘Before-And-After’ Pic of him on Tumblr, people leaped to his defense.

    To be honest, for a man of 50 Brendan looks perfectly reasonable and normal in the ‘after’ shot anyway. People age, don’t they? Someone was quick to point out that this off-the-cuff paparazzi shot is not the only photo of Brendan doing the rounds, this one is from a frank and searingly honest interview he did with GQ earlier this year.

    Much like Keanu Reeves, the internet has a real soft spot for this fellow legend of the ’90s, who has negotiated the ups and downs of Hollywood stardom with humility and kindness. Both have had their fair share of rough times – but they both come across as thoroughly likable, down-to-earth guys that we’d love to grab a beer with.

    I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

    Nooo, he is cute! He aged, of course, but we all did. I still find him really attractive. Body shaming obviously is not just pointed against women.

    He doesn't even look bad in the second picture??? He looks older, yeah, surprise, that happens. He also looks like a dad. In just like, the best possible way. Like your best friend's dad who is always really nice to everyone and never does anything creepy or makes you feel uncomfortable. Like you bring home a stray kitten and he says you can't keep it, you gotta find it a home, and then an hour later you find him in his armchair with this tiny kitten asleep on his chest and when you give him the look he's just like "His name is Charlie. He's got a vet appointment on Tuesday to get his shots and chip. I just ordered a cat tree off of Amazon, it should be here in two days. Look at this thing, it's like 7 feet tall with scratching posts, platforms, hidey-holes, a swing; he's gonna love it."

    If you can only feel good about yourself when you're putting others down, you might want to seek help.

    It's crazy how many young people feel that youth & beauty are achievements and getting older is seen as failure.

    I loved him in scrubs as Dr. C*x's brother in law Ben. The last scene in "My Screw Up" will get you every time.

    Even though he made some questionable movies, I always thought of him to be quite charismatic. Too bad a bad divorce screwed him over.
