It’s not every day that you see Twitter filled with no one else but the star of George of the Jungle, Encino Man, and Rick O’Connell from The Mummy saga—Brendan Fraser. And it’s not that he has overdosed on drugs, started a campaign defending anonymous knitters' rights, or his new movie is coming out next week. No, he is trending on Twitter right now for the sheer reason of people just loving him—for being Brendan Fraser. 


Users on the internet and true fans of the actor decided to take a moment and just stop, breathe, and appreciate how amazing Brendan Fraser is. And as we admire that for a second, let us know at end of the article which Brendan Fraser movie you will be re-watching tonight.

I 100% agree with this. I totally appreciate Leo’s acting abilities, but personally I was never on the “he’s the hottest thing evarrrrrrr!” bandwagon in the Titanic era. Brendan Fraser however...

After he was a hit actor in the '90s and went on a sudden professional hiatus, fans started to miss the man. Mostly known for his role in The Mummy trilogy, he has starred in Crash, The Quiet American, and School Ties and also appeared in minor roles on TV every here and there, such as Scrubs. Some people on Twitter seemed not to have a favorite movie or have a favorite role created by Brendan Fraser, but were just so pleased to see him making the rounds on threads. So far the actor hasn’t responded to going viral and all the unconditional love his fans are showering him in, but one of the users imagined what his publicist would actually say about such a bizarre trend and it’s just spot on.

And since Keanu Reeves has blessed everyone with John Wick, we all probably deserve everyone’s '90s to return just like The Mummy did. One of his most recent works was Robotman in Doom Patrol, and now he apparently has landed a major project with the director of Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream, famed for not the lightest movies, Darren Arnofsky. And fans probably shouldn't expect one of his signature light-hearted comedy-adventure roles—this time the role is said to be of a suicidal overweight man in A24's upcoming production The Whale. At the end of the day, the actor's fans might also be very happy with a 4th sequel of The Mummy, because why not.

His episodes were soooo good! Especially "that episode"...it always gets me. (I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it).

My family and I loved this movie. It’s silly and kinda dumb, but it’s “smart dumb” if you know what I mean.

This is my second favorite Brendan Fraser movie (the first Mummy movie takes the top prize). You can't help but love this actor's range. He makes fantasy believable.

The story had particular meaning to those of us who were around during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Or those who play Fallout a lot.

That was a such a sweet, without being sappy, movie. I kept expecting to cringe during and was pleasantly surprised.

It's called "Eve and the last Gentleman" in Germany. I love the movie.

Thank you. I truly liked that film. Brendan Fraser had the tension for the role of the invisible minority (a Jewish man who "passes"). Amy Locane was quite good, too.
