Brendan Fraser breaks down as latest movie receives standing ovation

Brendan Fraser continues to gain the adoration of the internet. The actor is currently promoting his latest film The Whale, directed by Darren Aronofsky. In The Whale, Fraser portrays a 600-pound social recluse who attempts to rekindle his relationship with his daughter (played by Sadie Sink) after several years of estrangement.

Last month, the film debuted at Venice Film Festival and reportedly received an incredible six-minute standing ovation reducing Fraser to tears. Guess what, folks? It’s happened again. The Whale has now been screened at the London Film Festival and Fraser ended the night with tears of joy once more.

If you want another wholesome Brendan Fraser moment, take a look at the actor’s response to a fan question during a recent Q&A.

As the credits rolled on The Whale at LFF, Fraser was rewarded with a five-minute standing ovation. For a while, Fraser stood on stage alone, moved to tears by the audience's warm reception. He was then joined by writer Samuel D Hunter who wrote the play the film is based on and the two shared an embrace. Take a look at the standing ovation below.

Given just how well-received The Whale has been, I’d expect to see the film contend on the upcoming awards circuit. Can you imagine our guy Brendan accepting an Oscar? That would be a dream come true for the internet, I’m sure.

When you think of Brendan Fraser, I’m sure you picture his iconic role in The Mummy. To add to all this excitement, Fraser has recently confirmed that he’d be onboard for another Mummy film if the right idea came along. Someone please make this happen.
