What happened to Brendan Fraser?
brendan fraser had positioned himself as a promising talent in the 90s. But he himself acknowledged, according to statements collected by Esquire magazine, that he moved away from his passion as a result of suffering abuse from Philip Berk, then president of the Association Hollywood Foreigner (HFPA), which organizes the Golden Globes
“I felt sick. I felt like a little child. I felt like I had a ball in my throat. I thought I was going to cry. (…) He blamed myself and I felt miserable, because he said: ‘This is nothing; this guy reached out and felt around a bit.’ That summer passed, and I can’t remember what I went to work on next,” he said.
Indeed, his internal battle would not have allowed him to see the full picture and he remained in a bubble of little interest in keeping his career afloat, at least during the transition from the 90s to the generation of 2000.
When he finally decided to put a stop to what he had lived, he chose to integrate what he believed were projects for his rebirth as an actor. Even so, his decisions did not lead him to a path of success, since he was in films that failed to convince critics and went unnoticed by the public.
