At the Venice Film Festival Brendan Fraser’s new psychological drama film, The Whale, received 6 minutes of a standing ovation. At times, Fraser seemed overwhelmed by the response and tears up.
Buddy Dwayne Johnson reached out to congratulate Brendan Fraser, tweeting:
“Man, this makes me so happy to see this beautiful ovation for Brendan,” Johnson wrote. “He supported me coming into his ‘Mummy Returns’ franchise for my first ever role, which kicked off my Hollywood career. Rooting for all your success, brother and congrats to my bud Darren Aronofsky. #TheWhale”
