Dopo aver mancato la vittoria ai Golden Globe in favore di Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser ha vinto il Critics’ Choice Award come miglior attore per la sua interpretazione in The Whale e il suo commosso ringraziamento e il suo discorso sta facendo commuovere ed emozionare tutti i fan dell’attore de La Mummia.
L’adattamento di Darren Aronofsky del dramma psicologico di Samuel D. Hunter ha ricevuto risposte miste da parte della stampa per la sua gestione dell’argomento dell’obesità patologica, principalmente nell’uso nel film di protesi e di un “fat suit” per rappresentare un uomo di oltre 270 chili. L’unica costante fonte di lode per il film, tuttavia, è stata la performance di Brendan Fraser, cosa che fa di The Whale il suo “grande ritorno” a Hollywood.
Nel pieno della stagione dei premi, l’attore è trai protagonisti della giostra mediatica, con le sue nomination ai Golden Globes, ai SAG e ai Critics’ Choice Awards, dove ha conquistato la statuetta e in occasione dei quali ha rilasciato un discorso commosso e commovente che sta deliziando i fan in rete. Ecco alcuni esempi:

People were saying critics don’t like the whale (which might be true) but even they still loved and appreciated Brendan Fraser’s heart-wrenching performance. So nice to see him get the recognition for what is debatably THE performance of the year. And that speech 🥹💗 https://t.co/7oJMIvGAtY
