A 600-pound (272 kg) middle-aged man named Charlie tries to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter. The two grew apart after Charlie abandoned his family for his gay lover, who later died. Charlie then went on to binge eat out of pain and guilt.


What is the target audience for this?

I hope this is his big comeback. Between breaking his back on The Mummy stunts, going through a nasty divorce and a Hollywood producer molesting him, Brendan Fraser deserves a career comeback.


EDIT: everyone making fun of him for being overweight can get fricked. A. He is wearing a fat suit in that pic. B. He broke his fricking back doing his own stunts for those Mummy movies. Show some god damn respect.

Darren Aronofsky fans. His name is associated with a very unique set of movies (that are definitely not for everyone)

I think it sounds interesting. But I enjoy movies like this

Landing a role in a movie, from an acclaimed director, that's getting you a ton of attention and early Oscar-buzz is having fallen?

Plus he’s in that ridiculous Killers of the Flower Moon with that loser DiCaprio and that weirdo Scorsese. He’s really hit the skids since George of the Jungle.

Wow I didn't realize Brendan Fraser was gay. I liked him in the mummy movies.

NBC Article

This is the article on it. Says it happened in 2003 but he didn't want to come out and say anything.

quote:

HFPA's Philip Berk assaulted him at the Beverly Hills Hotel in the summer of 2003.

"His left hand reaches around, grabs my arse cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint. And he starts moving it around," the actor said.


So it seems like someone was trying to play hide the finger in his booty hole and he was not okay with it.

I was picking up chik-fil-a one day at worked and asked a few co-workers over messenger if they wanted anything. One dude said he wanted a chicken sandwhich meal and a nugget meal. I thought he was joking but he wasn't.

A lot of food addicts will order multiple meals at the drive-thru, instead of ordering a 30 piece nugget platter, or a family sized box of chicken. They'd rather deal with sorting through small drinks and multiple bags of fries than to have the cashier know that they're consuming the entire huge order.

Hollywood is full of phony people but Brendan is so moved at that ovation.

Another event that comes to mind was he was doing questions from tik tok or something too and this person got on there and said how the internet is rooting for him and his career and man Brendan just lost it. He was so genuinely touched that people were cheering him on . It was great

He’s had a tough career and one of the few I root for . Good for him.

I will see this film and support Fraser .
