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 Titans, Condor 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.
Here’s what people had to say
bro, he basically donated his life force so the mummy franchise could have a chance, i love him!
Load More Replies...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."
That is so weirdly, awesomely, specific!! I’m guessing you know or knew someone’s like this? If so, that’s is specifically, weirdly awesome!!
Load More Replies...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.
It’s been that way for centuries, THAT will never change.
Load More Replies...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.
I never particularly liked him as an actor, but body shaming him?! You must be ****** kidding me. I hope that idiot age twice as bad
Even though he made some questionable movies, I always thought of him to be quite charismatic. Too bad a bad divorce screwed him over.
Hey. What??? Why would anyone dislike Brendan Fraser? Yeah, he's part Canadian, don't think that doesn't give me a bit of a soft spot... Really though - from all reports, all interviews I've ever seen, reports from coworkers who encountered him and his family (Yeeearrs ago...) at a local attraction (as in they were the staff) - He's a really warm, humble, awesome person - WHY would anyone shame him??? For crying out loud... in the temperature we're in these days, where childhood heroes are being wrangled and exposed for being predators, previously admired celebrities are being outed as amoral monsters... we have a dude who is NONE of these things, in fact, by all accounts is the complete opposite ... and we're STILL picking on him? Wth?
I know RIGHT!!!! He’s one of the good guys that needs to be recognized as that. ♥️♥️
Load More Replies...Brendan Fraser is an amazing actor with a dominating screen presents. he looks like a perfectly fine 50 year old and it's a shame he's not in more movies all of which would be improved by his presence.
You need to watch “Crash”, I think that was his best work he’s done.
Load More Replies...Not everyone can retain their natural youthful looks like Joan Rivers did.
Load More Replies...I love his movies! His personal life isn't any of my business, but I admire him. Recovering for any one of those challenges is difficult, bouncing back from so many is inspirational.
Life is unpredictable. Youth has advantages but we cannot slow the aging process. He is still a darling guy. He had some tough things thrown his way. I hope he will preserve. Best wishes to him.
I loved how he was compared to Keanu, especially since I had huge crushes on them both back in the day (seriously, I had Encino Man memorized!!). I still think they are quite attractive. And I’m glad to see as many people are sticking up for Brendan as have for Keanu. On the body shaming, apparently some fan or hater said something to Luke Combs fiancé about his size and she tore into them!! As someone who has heard comments my whole life, I’m glad there are so many people finally standing up against body shaming and bullying in general!!
Me too on Encino Man, his first movie started it all... I had to buy a 2nd VHS tape I wore mine out. Then when DVDs came into play, got one of those and now the Blu-Ray...
Load More Replies...One of the dearest actors who excels at quirky and appealing roles. I'd be happy to see him in more roles. He's also said he had to work hard to get in shape for his hunk roles.
I love him, no matter what he looks like now. Besides, still gorgeous! Nasty bastards need to leave him and everyone else alone and concentrate on their own tiny miserable lives instead. All love to Brendan! ❤️
man people are so heartless sometimes.. this dude put so much on the line to make people happy, yet all they can do is body shame this poor man. He did so much for the entertainment business, and people in general, y'all people need to really realize this :(
Interesting how the Bored Panda staffers chose the following as one of the highlighted responses.... "Could we please leave one of the very rarely found unporblematic white dudes alone".... Followed by..." "Only utter garbage people body shame". Yeah,well, only utter garbage people expose their bigotry by generalizing an entire ethinicity & gender.
Yeah, what was the point of adding that racist's comment? There are good men of all races, and bad men of all races. If someone had written that comment about Black men, they would have been shouted down.
Load More Replies...what kind if cretin would "shame" brendan frasier?, the sweetest most down to earth celeb ever to bless hollywood and the Earth. He ought to get more acting work. And I hope the worst befalls everyone who ever hurt him
Same age as me. Good early life. Bad later life. Body giving me s**t. Feel s****y I can't do more but still try but can't. Shut myself off from everything for almost 4 years. Slowing easing back into world. Home. Work. Home. Rando stops to get food or stuff. But not social like I used to be. That hurts. I love this guy. He's always made me laugh and is a great actor (y'all see him in that fx Getty one? Brilliant and funny and heartwarming). We would prob be friends If we didn't live on different coasts. And if I went out. Lol.
One of my favorite actors from my childhood to now. He is a great actor and is probably a cool guy in person. People go through things in life and sometimes that affects how we age. Also the man is 50 years old so of course he isn't going to look like he did at age 28. I am 34 and I don't look like I did at 28. Leave the man alone.
I am so sick of societies ideal man or woman. They don't care about the heart or soul, they only care about the looks! This drives many aging men and women to literally go in debt with plastic surgeries that make them look like a cat or an alien! The surgeries have to be done over and over because they do not last. Even botox! Every three months getting botulism injected into their face! There are people who have died because of this poisoning after having the shots to make them look younger! I am 73, and I always get a kick out of people who come here and see a photo of myself taken in my late 40's and saying "WOW! IS THIS YOU?! Isn't it awful what aging does to us!" I am perfectly satisfied with my wrinkles, trust me, I deserved everyone of them, and there is something beautiful about those who aren't caught up in being forever young and beautiful. To age gracefully is a virtue. I don't know who this star is, I've never heard of him. But he looks fine to me!
I fell in love with Rick O'Connell the first time I saw The Mummy (and the gazillion times after that)! I'm so sorry Mr. Fraser has had to endure such personal trials, but I hope he knows the hours of fun that he's brought to so many people. I look a hell of a lot different now than I did in my twenties...Funny how that happens.
I have the Rick O’ Connell 12” action figure!! One of my prized possessions!
Load More Replies...As one of my #1 celebs from his first film, this saddens me to see. But all the positivity coming from all of his fans is a wonderful to see. Brendan Fraser has and always be my favorite actor. Life happens to everyone and sometimes it hits people harder than others. Having so many difficulties thrown at you will definitely change a person. Brendan has had a lot more dropped in his lap than most and he’s still standing... which most wouldn’t have come through it. Kudos to you Brendan, happiness isn’t always an easy path, but you’ll get there. He’s brought a lot of joy into the world: Encino Man, School Ties, Bedazzled, Blast from the Past, George of the Jungle, Gods and Monsters, Inkheart, the Mummy trilogy the list goes on and on...
Name someone who looks just like they did 20-30 years ago. G'head, I'll wait.
Id love to see that amount of support on every woman who ever got criticised in a post... maybe the b******t would stop once and for all
By all accounts, he's a good guy, just trying to live his life. People are so damned judgmental.
One of the down sides of growing old: Won't live long enough to see the creeps who trash the middle aged and elderly about their looks grow old themselves, then whine about how they're being trashed for their appearance. Mr Fraser, a Bedouin saying: The dogs bark; our caravan moves one.
I think he's doing pretty well despite all the c**p he's been through. Divorce, trauma...they all leave marks on a person so yeah whoever body shamed him should check themselves in the mirror in 20 years and see how good they look..what an asshat
Brendan Fraser rocks! He's a great actor that was dealt a crappy hand and still managed to come out on top. So everyone just needs to chill. And for those who say he didn't age well, I have one reply...Haley Joel Osment. If that kid can grow up and still act in movies while experience such a dramatic change in appearance, anyone can do it.
His performance in “Crash” was amazing! But the industry forgets about the great achievements of good actors sometimes! #LoveForBredanFraserForever
Load More Replies...Brendan Fraser called his performance in Encino Man his tribute to silent films.
Yes he’s got that about him, it’s probably that he’s Canadian. Got to meet him when he was in Seattle Film Festival several years ago... he was a very polite and giving person. Not many can say that about 99% of who’s in Hollywood. JS
Load More Replies...I'm 50 as well and my tummy is a bit bigger, tots a bit lower and hey even my eyes look different. Brendan looks freaking sexy for a man of 50 and been through some s**t to boot, he's still sexy as fudge in my eyes...
"Much like Keanu Reeves, the internet has a real soft spot for this fellow legend of the ’90s...". Yeah, and much like Keanu Reeves, Brendan Fraser is the f*****g s**t! If he wasn't, he'd smack anyone who said anything even remotely bad about him.
You've got to admire people like Clint Eastwood. He made a career out of staying in shape and eating healthy. He should be a real example to all of us. Fraser, though, is not that bad, just more "normal", like most of us.
I saw Carrie Fisher live in her show, "Wishful Drinking" and she had an almost life size bikini statue (you know the scene) and said, "What I didn't realize when I wore this is that I was signing a contract to look like this forever". Another beautiful person. We need Brendan Fraser to be an Avenger, FFS. Have a scene where one of a new Iron Man's suits get knocked out of the sky in a battle and something's twisted so Fraser untwists it (being kind) and it opens up for him to get in.
I love Brendan any way I can get him. He's a star in my book. And yes, we all age. I used to have a 28 inch waste when I was younger, it's now 40" (groan) and I do eat right and exercise. Age happens and genetics do too. Cherish this man's contribution, cherish his big heart and talent! Huge Hugs to Brendan!
George of the jungle. Watched with my kids many times and loved this guy. To this day when I put on a sharp suit I say out loud “pretty darn good” Narrator: After trying on an Armani suit, George looked good. George: Pretty darn good.
Omg!! Brendan Fraser is such a great, fantastic , wonderful person. I don't care if he is old. I will still marry him. I am 37 years old and don't care. He is such a sweet person and damn he can still pull out that sexy tarzan outfit. Mr. Brendan you have wonderful fans that we love you and support you. I have few movies at home. With your beautiful long hair. And let me tell you. You can pull both hair cuts. I wish you the best in life. And let me tell you" YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME"
What the heck? Femburton (OP) didn't shame him. He just said "I think about this a lot." What an overreaction!
Seriously people are d**ks! No one is perfect. At least he didn’t get some disgusting Hollyweird hack job cosmetic surgery done. He’s handsome & strong enough to have made it through some tough times & still come out standing. Back off!
I love Brendan! He's an excellent actor & also looks damned good for his age! I first "discovered " him in the movie,Mrs. Winterbourne,which he did with another excellent actor,Ricki Lake & also which is still my absolute fave " Brendan movie" & if you haven't seen it yet,I highly recommend you do! Last but not least? Keep in mind that beauty & youth are fleeting & that you,too,will age.Brendan looks amazing & these body-shaming haters need to back off,be respectful,& focus on their OWN lives!
I hope this sets an example for all the trolls out there who have nothing better to do with their lives than make fun of and criticize others. This made me feel so good to see all these people speaking up for Brendon . Lets hope this trend spreads.
First and foremost, he is a uman being like the rest of us. Acting is his job only he is under more scrutiny that te average worker. I see nothing wrong with second photo, and I would suggest he still looks better than most of us walking down the street, not being on show. Easy sulution here is if you do not like the way he looks now, don't gorp at him and let him get on with his day.
My favorite movie of his is also one of the hardest to watch: School Ties. Though his JAVAJAVAJAVAJAVAJAVA hyper-caffeinated post-coffee-eating scene in GotJ is prob my favorite scene. (And also, Passion of Darkly Noon was f'ing creepy, not scary just creepy--check it out) He's an underrated actor and person but even if he were overrated he doesn't deserve this. Btw, bodyshmaing ANYONE is not okay.
Girls get old: gets trash talked to hell Men get old: oh poor baby that's just the way of life! Leave him alone! This article pisses me off. It's about time men go through the same s**t women go through everyday. I also love how 'divorce' aka the WOMAN made him this way. If we lived in a perfect world I'd choose no one talking trash about anyone. But we live in a lopsided world, and I want things even, good AND bad.
Advice for young, soon you'll be older. Be kind, you'll wish it too!
I think he still looks great. I like his movies. We all age. I'm very glad he hasn't had any plastic surgery
I have been in Love with this man since Encino man.... and the Mummy just was the best... He is still hot and I love his face and his eyes.... and that voice!! Leave him be!! What a beauty he is... inside and out!!
The only problem with the picture on the right is that he's not flashing his beautiful smile. Still as handsome as ever.
I got the feeling that the b***h married him just for the cash.....many women use alimony as a way of living while dragging their kids into it.
I am 55 years old. I high school I ran track and played baseball. I was 5'11' and about 150 lbs. I weigh a "little" more now and my knees won't let me run 10 feet. All of the younger people crapping on Mr. Frasier, who believe they won't ever get sick or develop a disease, won't get any older and will never die, I have some shocking news for you...
I'm Gen X like Brandon, Keanu, Winona, Drew, Kate, Neve, Reese... these were our stars. The 90s. It was a very cool time, indeed. Now we are all in our 40s and early 50s. The people who post these before and afters are KIDS. They don't realize that they, too, will age. It isn't easy! Ha! God it's not. When I was in my twenties, I was a haltingly beautiful girl. Pale and tragic and just 90s gorgeous. I modeled, and fronted a band here in the Detroit music scene. When you're that young, time stands still. It's easy to believe that your skin and your body will never change. But then it does. I'm holding up well, but I'm not what I used to be. It wouldn't even be healthy to attempt to attain that. I feel sad for women my age who try to be that. Nah, this is just life. Expect it, because it's going to happen. This slip of a thing is me at 25. That girl is gone, and a woman has taken her place. Shaming people for aging. How ridiculous and crazy. Right? Crazy. goodnessth...30-png.jpg
I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED BRENDAN FRASIER, ANND ALWYAS WILL. LOVED THE MUMMY SERIES, AND ALL HIS FILMS BEST ARE HIS COMEDY ONES , AND I AWAIT HIS NEWEST WHEN EVER ONE COMES OUT GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS BRENDAN
At this time of his life, he is no longer a "sex symbol". As he aged he has turned himself into a good man, a good father and working to become "strong" again. I admire him. Thank you for the different photos, there is such a difference between the studio shot and the "street" shot.
So glad I'm not famous ! It feels like they're all living under a microscope.
There will always be jerks, Brendan Fraser is a great actor,still handsome, and an incredible father, wishing him well !!!
The asshats criticizing Brendan Fraser are the same twats putting Val Kilmer down for not still have a six-pack abs and chiseled jaw line.
If there´s someone else besides Keanu Reaves that deserves a stellar come back is this guy.
I'd say 99% of people age. The remaining 1% includes Paul Rudd and Keanu Reeves.
Picked him up at the airport and drove him around in my 30-y/o Volvo rust wagon for two days. He's a kind, funny, friendly person.
I love this dude, he is a good person, and that's enough for me :) I think he deserves heaven, because of all the things that goes wrong and severely sad on his life he is still A GOOD PERSON. I've seen a lot of "good persons" who turned bad after having bad or hard times. And I love the dude, he is bigger than me, stronger than me, and I will not hesitate to defend him if I have the luck to see him on troubles. (I hope I will never see him on troubles again of course)
I wonder what anybody who makes a bad comment about somebody looking old will look like when they get that age.... Brendan Fraser is still an impressive actor and is respected worldwide. To all and anyone who has gone through a bad rough patch in their lives and can come out of it deserves a lot of hugs and respect.
Not gonna lie i saw the right picture and tbh he could pass for 20 (this coming from an 18 year old) not to mention after everything hes been through and he can still smile? That's a man that life took a shot at only for him to crane kick life in the face!
wow-i didn't know about all that, but i wouldn't insult him, anyway. he's not ugly and i'm sure is a very nice guy; i really feel bad for him...he's awesome!
It takes the same amount of time and energy to speak positively about someone as it does to speak negatively. Why must this world consist of the latter? Whats wrong with people that they feel that they have to speak mean about others?
... Brendan is on tv show "Doom Patrol", NOT Titans tv show...check your facts... actually a pretty entertaining show...!
He can still overcome all of it and still there`s time to rescue himself.
He doesn't need to "rescue" himself, just be himself.

You've got to admire people like Clint Eastwood. He made a career out of staying in shape and eating healthy. He should be a real example to all of us. Fraser, though, is not that bad, just more "normal", like most of us.
I saw Carrie Fisher live in her show, "Wishful Drinking" and she had an almost life size bikini statue (you know the scene) and said, "What I didn't realize when I wore this is that I was signing a contract to look like this forever". Another beautiful person. We need Brendan Fraser to be an Avenger, FFS. Have a scene where one of a new Iron Man's suits get knocked out of the sky in a battle and something's twisted so Fraser untwists it (being kind) and it opens up for him to get in.
I love Brendan any way I can get him. He's a star in my book. And yes, we all age. I used to have a 28 inch waste when I was younger, it's now 40" (groan) and I do eat right and exercise. Age happens and genetics do too. Cherish this man's contribution, cherish his big heart and talent! Huge Hugs to Brendan!
George of the jungle. Watched with my kids many times and loved this guy. To this day when I put on a sharp suit I say out loud “pretty darn good” Narrator: After trying on an Armani suit, George looked good. George: Pretty darn good.
Omg!! Brendan Fraser is such a great, fantastic , wonderful person. I don't care if he is old. I will still marry him. I am 37 years old and don't care. He is such a sweet person and damn he can still pull out that sexy tarzan outfit. Mr. Brendan you have wonderful fans that we love you and support you. I have few movies at home. With your beautiful long hair. And let me tell you. You can pull both hair cuts. I wish you the best in life. And let me tell you" YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME"
What the heck? Femburton (OP) didn't shame him. He just said "I think about this a lot." What an overreaction!
Seriously people are d**ks! No one is perfect. At least he didn’t get some disgusting Hollyweird hack job cosmetic surgery done. He’s handsome & strong enough to have made it through some tough times & still come out standing. Back off!
I love Brendan! He's an excellent actor & also looks damned good for his age! I first "discovered " him in the movie,Mrs. Winterbourne,which he did with another excellent actor,Ricki Lake & also which is still my absolute fave " Brendan movie" & if you haven't seen it yet,I highly recommend you do! Last but not least? Keep in mind that beauty & youth are fleeting & that you,too,will age.Brendan looks amazing & these body-shaming haters need to back off,be respectful,& focus on their OWN lives!
I hope this sets an example for all the trolls out there who have nothing better to do with their lives than make fun of and criticize others. This made me feel so good to see all these people speaking up for Brendon . Lets hope this trend spreads.
First and foremost, he is a uman being like the rest of us. Acting is his job only he is under more scrutiny that te average worker. I see nothing wrong with second photo, and I would suggest he still looks better than most of us walking down the street, not being on show. Easy sulution here is if you do not like the way he looks now, don't gorp at him and let him get on with his day.
My favorite movie of his is also one of the hardest to watch: School Ties. Though his JAVAJAVAJAVAJAVAJAVA hyper-caffeinated post-coffee-eating scene in GotJ is prob my favorite scene. (And also, Passion of Darkly Noon was f'ing creepy, not scary just creepy--check it out) He's an underrated actor and person but even if he were overrated he doesn't deserve this. Btw, bodyshmaing ANYONE is not okay.
Girls get old: gets trash talked to hell Men get old: oh poor baby that's just the way of life! Leave him alone! This article pisses me off. It's about time men go through the same s**t women go through everyday. I also love how 'divorce' aka the WOMAN made him this way. If we lived in a perfect world I'd choose no one talking trash about anyone. But we live in a lopsided world, and I want things even, good AND bad.
Advice for young, soon you'll be older. Be kind, you'll wish it too!
I think he still looks great. I like his movies. We all age. I'm very glad he hasn't had any plastic surgery
I have been in Love with this man since Encino man.... and the Mummy just was the best... He is still hot and I love his face and his eyes.... and that voice!! Leave him be!! What a beauty he is... inside and out!!
The only problem with the picture on the right is that he's not flashing his beautiful smile. Still as handsome as ever.
I got the feeling that the b***h married him just for the cash.....many women use alimony as a way of living while dragging their kids into it.
I am 55 years old. I high school I ran track and played baseball. I was 5'11' and about 150 lbs. I weigh a "little" more now and my knees won't let me run 10 feet. All of the younger people crapping on Mr. Frasier, who believe they won't ever get sick or develop a disease, won't get any older and will never die, I have some shocking news for you...
I'm Gen X like Brandon, Keanu, Winona, Drew, Kate, Neve, Reese... these were our stars. The 90s. It was a very cool time, indeed. Now we are all in our 40s and early 50s. The people who post these before and afters are KIDS. They don't realize that they, too, will age. It isn't easy! Ha! God it's not. When I was in my twenties, I was a haltingly beautiful girl. Pale and tragic and just 90s gorgeous. I modeled, and fronted a band here in the Detroit music scene. When you're that young, time stands still. It's easy to believe that your skin and your body will never change. But then it does. I'm holding up well, but I'm not what I used to be. It wouldn't even be healthy to attempt to attain that. I feel sad for women my age who try to be that. Nah, this is just life. Expect it, because it's going to happen. This slip of a thing is me at 25. That girl is gone, and a woman has taken her place. Shaming people for aging. How ridiculous and crazy. Right? Crazy. goodnessth...30-png.jpg
I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED BRENDAN FRASIER, ANND ALWYAS WILL. LOVED THE MUMMY SERIES, AND ALL HIS FILMS BEST ARE HIS COMEDY ONES , AND I AWAIT HIS NEWEST WHEN EVER ONE COMES OUT GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS BRENDAN
At this time of his life, he is no longer a "sex symbol". As he aged he has turned himself into a good man, a good father and working to become "strong" again. I admire him. Thank you for the different photos, there is such a difference between the studio shot and the "street" shot.
So glad I'm not famous ! It feels like they're all living under a microscope.
There will always be jerks, Brendan Fraser is a great actor,still handsome, and an incredible father, wishing him well !!!
The asshats criticizing Brendan Fraser are the same twats putting Val Kilmer down for not still have a six-pack abs and chiseled jaw line.
If there´s someone else besides Keanu Reaves that deserves a stellar come back is this guy.
I'd say 99% of people age. The remaining 1% includes Paul Rudd and Keanu Reeves.
Picked him up at the airport and drove him around in my 30-y/o Volvo rust wagon for two days. He's a kind, funny, friendly person.
I love this dude, he is a good person, and that's enough for me :) I think he deserves heaven, because of all the things that goes wrong and severely sad on his life he is still A GOOD PERSON. I've seen a lot of "good persons" who turned bad after having bad or hard times. And I love the dude, he is bigger than me, stronger than me, and I will not hesitate to defend him if I have the luck to see him on troubles. (I hope I will never see him on troubles again of course)
I wonder what anybody who makes a bad comment about somebody looking old will look like when they get that age.... Brendan Fraser is still an impressive actor and is respected worldwide. To all and anyone who has gone through a bad rough patch in their lives and can come out of it deserves a lot of hugs and respect.
Not gonna lie i saw the right picture and tbh he could pass for 20 (this coming from an 18 year old) not to mention after everything hes been through and he can still smile? That's a man that life took a shot at only for him to crane kick life in the face!
wow-i didn't know about all that, but i wouldn't insult him, anyway. he's not ugly and i'm sure is a very nice guy; i really feel bad for him...he's awesome!
It takes the same amount of time and energy to speak positively about someone as it does to speak negatively. Why must this world consist of the latter? Whats wrong with people that they feel that they have to speak mean about others?
... Brendan is on tv show "Doom Patrol", NOT Titans tv show...check your facts... actually a pretty entertaining show...!
He can still overcome all of it and still there`s time to rescue himself.
He doesn't need to "rescue" himself, just be himself.
