I HATE that he thought we forgot him... when we were just missing him. I genuinely MISSED him. I had no idea where he went. He was hands down my favourite actor as a teen.
It was weird all the 90s kids were just like "what ever happened to Brendan Fraiser" all at once. Then we found out about all the shit that happened to him then everyone sort of rallied together.
@@christopherclough559 Yeah when I read that magazine article, it hurt so much because he WAS our childhood. So glad to see him back where he belongs.
Well deserved ❤
@@BrendanfraserofcHave some love from France. You are a wonderful actor.
He lost all their work because someone in the industry raped him, he spoke about it and immediately was kicked out of the industry
Greatest comeback in history.
Damn true, it'll be remembered
Mickey Rourke too.
@@ObadyaCastKim Kardashian too
Greatest Two come backs in one night! Ke's speech brought me to tears too. 😢
@@I8ARSEsir that’s a cuuumback 😂😂😂😂
He won the best actor award and spends the whole time praising his coworkers, such a good guy
i mean is the oscars what do you expect, the objective is to say thanks to others
@@Nobodyie grow up
Well said
From “Looney Tunes: Back in Action” to “The Whale”. One of the most grown-up actors ever. Extremely fair victory.
Mentally and emotionally, he's 7 years old.
@@ifyouonlyknew811 get a life troll
He's got his overdue laurels for Back In Action
Don’t forget about monkeybone
@@ifyouonlyknew811 what do you mean ?
One of the greatest comeback in history. This man left Hollywood for a few years then suddenly make a comeback, deliver one of the best performance of last year and won an Oscar? Now that's a true achievement right there, so happy for Fraser. Cheers to his future, this is just the beginning of his comeback
He moved to Connecticut in 2004, cheated on his wife with a guy in 2007, got divorced in 2008 and has never been away from acting in 32 years. He never lived in Hollywood, just West Hollywood where he practiced what he learned in boarding school 👬.
@@ifyouonlyknew811 get a life
@@ifyouonlyknew811 proof?
@@a7x409 Which part are you questioning?
@@ifyouonlyknew811 Im kind of curious to because they only thing i can find about the divorce is that neither party has given a reason and the only rumour was that he cheated with an actress name maria bello and that was debunked
When they said Brendan Fraser's name I screamed, jumped and cried for his winning. I have never been so happy for someone. He really deserved it ❤️❤️. I have been supporting him from the beginning, he is one of the most beloved actors, I love him so much 💟
❤
Agreed....his performance made me cry and smile.... such an unforgettable performance ❤
Brendan "Comeback" Fraser.
So did I, I am rewatching and tearing up ❤🥹
Butler waa robbed
Respect Brendan Fraser. Protect Brendan Fraser. Support Brendan Fraser. Embrace Brandon Fraser. And most of all: Love Brendan Fraser ❤️
AMEN!!! He EARNED that Oscar!!! Someone took a chance to put him in that role, and he gave it all that he had!!! Brendan Fraser is one of the BEST actors that Hollyweird has.
we protecc
True
*AMEN* 🙌🌟
I love Brendan Fraser 🇧🇷
Next to Leo and Joaquin Phoenix, this is the most deserved Oscar of all time. You could visually see him holding back every emotion in his speech but it was the emotion of 30 years in the making. No one has ever worked this hard for an Oscar
Agreed. Very beloved guy.
No one has ever worked so hard for an Oscar?? Austin Butler spend his ass 2 years without contacting his family for Elvis. The hell, Austin Deserves the Oscar.
@@jacobperales2415 Austin Butler was amazing in his role. But with Brendan, he put on the performance of the century. His road to redemption to deliver a performance like he did in The Whale is Oscar worthy in itself. Austin Butler was absolutely everything it should’ve been, it’s just Brendan’s was better
@@jacobperales2415 I'm tired of these gimmicks actors do to bait people into thinking they deserve oscars. He didn't talk to his family for 2 years? That's his problem. If what you said is even true (remember, news articles can lie) then it was completely unnecessary and it's actually pretty funny that he did all that and STILL couldn't beat a guy who was previously seen as unemployable by Hollywood. He didn't have to become obese to play the role, they just put him in a fat suit. These guys always remind me of Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder.
@@jacobperales2415 Austin was PERFECT as Elvis, but I have to give it to Fraser.
I’ll never forget when I tried not to scream when he won the Oscar. Brenden most definitely deserves an Oscar.
I’m happy for the guy but you still watch the the Oscars
I did end up falling into my bedroom floor in shock on the verge of tears…that’s not normal but Brendan Fraser was so phenomenal in The Whale and I was so happy that he actually won the Oscar.
The turns the world takes, Brendan was rejected and sidelined by the industry, but they elevated him to the biggest role of his career. He arrived on time. I loved and cried. Well deserved.
Elevated him? No one else wanted the role. Aronofsky hadn't been able to cast it for 10 years. Who in their right mind would want to play a 600lb Queer who abandoned his family for a guy. Only Brendan. He did it in 2007 and paid through the nose to keep it quiet. This was his 7th time "playing gay". No acting required.
@@ifyouonlyknew811 they (the film industry) elevated Brendan in a democratic vote that ended up being consecrated best actor of the season at the Oscars. I think you didn't understand what I meant
@@marcosviniciusfonseca944 I don't think you know what elevated means. He's already sunk as low as he can get (on and off screen).
@Ifyouonlyknew Sorry, but what exactly do you mean by 7th time playing gay, no acting required? Are you implying what I think you're implying? He's straight, so why are you dissing him with your innuendos?
@@JacobNightingale Sure, so were Rock Hudson, Troy Donahue, Tab Hunter, Rip Torn, Montgomery Clift, etc. etc. etc. Until they were exposed. And what is your proof of his "straight"ness? The EX "wife", the kids that don"t look like him? The bookend redheads when there aren't any others in the Fraser family? Please! He's been gay since boarding school!
I'll never forget his dorky but courageous and brave personality shown in the Mummy franchise. Brendan was like the Indiana Jones of us 90s babies and after all the trauma and adversities he had to go through during the 2000s this is the reward of all those years of suffering and dejection
😃
Truth.
Brendan Fraser, Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. This is really the year of comeback! And almost 20 million turned in, this is the proof that it's what the people want!
michelle yeoh is not a come back. she has always been in movies, she never left. it's just that now she got the recognition that she deserves.
@@minavamp2811 Yes Only 2 Actors Comeback Brendan and Ke
This was easily the tightest category this year, all of the nominees could have won for their incredible performances. But I'm glad the award went to Fraser; as he not only gives a brutal and moving performance but also marks a triumphant return to someone who was shut out for many years. What a wonderful comeback.
Richard Lugali He should've stayed on his meds, stayed on the wagon and stayed married.
@@ifyouonlyknew811 who pissed in your cereal? you're under every comment hissing and ranting
@@ifyouonlyknew811Everyone deserves forgiveness. We have all made mistakes. None of us is perfect.
“Only the whales can swim at the depth of the talent of Hong Chau”🥺
She should have been nominated for Downsizing
@@manuelbello5806 And she should have won for The Whale.
Without an ounce of doubt. Hong chau is phenomenal in every role she plays
What a time to be alive! We got to see two amazing actors making a comeback in the same year and won an Oscar in the same year. God bless Ke Huy Quan and Brendan Fraser, looking forward to see how their career will go after their Oscar win, Hollywood should give these two more great roles
❤❤❤
I totally agree with u. Nothing to add. Was this movie just beautiful
Totally agree. I would also add Michael Keaton had an amazing come back with Bird Man.
Ke Huy Quan was in Loki, I watched that because people said it was really good and it was even though I don't normally like the Avengers.
👏
I love his humility. He just looked so surprised that he won.
I’m actually surprised he won too, because he’s done so many dumb corny movies. Because usually when an actor does alot of those kinds of movies the academy still doesn’t recognize them even when they actually do an Oscar worthy performance
He looked surprised to be nominated
He also looked like the only one who cared for the award and wanted it. The reaction when they said his name tugs on the heart strings.
Hugely deserved. I sat in the theatre for 10 minutes after the film ended just to gain my composure. I was so moved by his performance.
Moved or aroused?
@@ifyouonlyknew811weirdo
YES!! I was shaking after the credits rolled. That's never happened to me before.
Brendan Fraser is one true inspiration, ever since I saw him in “The Mummy” For me, i was expecting that Austin Butler to win for his role in “Elvis”, but after watching “The Whale”, I knew that Brendan created the most wonderful and complex performance of a lifetime. A deserving victory.
I think Austin has an oscar in his future. But this year was Brendan's for sure.
Man that’s my childhood right there Rick O’Connell guy was such a beast in the mummy was gutted he got sidelined and with heaps of bullshit to come out of them depths and make everyone remember the name
Austin Butler might win in 2025 for his role in Dune Part 2
Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser has such a nice ring to it.
It will look great on the poster for his next unreleased foreign film.
Regardless of the context and controversy of the character he played, you can't deny that it's an incredible performance, and Brendan in a genuinely nice person who deserved a glorious comeback like this.
Any “controversy” over his performance was just virtue signaling and false outrage. Or fatties being upset that they didn’t get the role.
Rowan Crump Another deluded fan who's obviously never had the displeasure.
The movie had no real controversy though.
@@MrHimself98 It's an actor in a fatsuit. Of course that caused controversy.
@@rowanc88 A actor is playing a gay obese man. That makes it controversial today, even though it shouldn’t be.
One of the few actor you cannot hate. He’s such a charismatic guy you just want to give him a warm hug and talk about how your day was with. I’m so happy he’s getting his flowers.
Felipe Dumas Baron He should've come out in his speech. He's not fooling anyone anymore, including you.
@@ifyouonlyknew811 You're dissing him multiple times in the comments. Everybody needs a moment to shine I guess.
@@pt8292 I'm well aware. His moment is coming to an end. He's about to have the rug pulled out from under him. It's not as if he didn't ask for it.
@@ifyouonlyknew811 Your comments say so much about you as a person and for that, I am truly sorry.
@@simpleplanfan011 I don't want your fake sympathy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the King of the Jungle."
Had to read that in John Cleese's voice with pride. Cheers to an upstanding gentleman who earned it!
I don't think I've EVER heard a more humble and grateful Oscar speech.........
I'll tell the writer.
From "The Mummy" to "The Whale", what a great comeback.
Brendan Fraser was everyone's childhood hero, including mine, and this comeback is well deserved! Welcome back Brendan, we all missed you and we never forgot you! We'll always support you Brendan because you are amazing!
"everyone's childhood hero, including mine" 😂😂 do you realise how stupid that is? Be honest are you American? You must be only an American would say Brendan Fraser from George in the jungle and now getting credit coz he got overweight and depressed is an actual HERO to EVERYONE" please tell me why he's a hero and why you think you speak for EVERYONE??
Yes ❤ mummy movies are still my favourite
Fully deserved! Huge congratulations to Brendan!
I just watched The Whale, and his performance was amazing. I cried so much. Welcome back, Brendan
I’m surprised he actually won… not because he didn’t deserve it, but because he’s done so many dumb corny movies. Usually when an actor has done so many corny comedies, they don’t get recognition even when they do an Oscar worthy performance
I didn't see The Whale prior to Brendan Fraser winning his Oscar. But after watching it, I'm so glad he won. Way to go, Brendan. And what a night for Oscar winning performances. All four were first time nominees and first time winners.
I love how even though Darren wasn’t nominated that year, he still showed up at the ceremony for Brendan’s victory. Because Darren lead him to his comeback.
Brendan's 2 well paid PR firms gave this movie a lot of free publicity.
What a perfect comeback! What an emotional and genuine speech! I felt so excited for his win! Brendan won the Critics Choice Award, the SAG Award and then the Academy Award! His performance in The Whale was so moving and really blew my mind! I’m so glad that his dream really came true!❤
Brendan's Oscar was well deserved. His performance reminded me quite a bit of Ernest Borginine's fantastic Oscar-winning performance in Marty (1955). In fact, Marty and The Whale would make a great double feature. Very moving and emotional character studies.
Excellent suggestion! Haven't heard his name mentioned in ages. Definitely some classical actor vibes. Gonna look that one up 👍
But Butler was robbed
Azo Hundred What an insult! Marty was a nice, normal guy who found love in a nice, normal woman. What the Hell does that have to do with a 600lb queer, deadbeat dad?
@@lexkanyima2195 Copying an artist whose entire life in the spectacle was totally documented is impressive, but not as impressive as what Fraser did in The Whale.
@@alan_7390 how so ?
This was one of the most deserving Best Lead Actor wins I've ever seen.
My heart was pounding during the final moments when they said, “and the Oscar goes to......Brendan Fraser”......I totally lost it! I was whooping and hollering. I hadn’t watched the Oscars in years but I did this year only because of Brendan. So happy for him....as for the rest of the nominees....they were all deserving as well. And for Brendan to acknowledge them was pure class! Bravo!
I've never cried during an Oscar speech before
One of the most deserved wins of all-time, up there with Philip Seymour Hoffman for me!
Brendan gave and achieved it all: the best performance of his career, arguably the best male performance of the year and one of the best redemptions ever. Paul Mescal looked so excited to win and kind of sad when he lost, I hope one day I get that win
Paul knew he wasn't going to win, come on. He was just excited to be recognised. It's incredible that he got nominated, really. I predicted him when he was still at 100/1 odds but the film is so small that he knew the nomination was the reward this time. He'll be back.
I love everything about it. The silence in the room when he talks. Colin Farell shaking his hand. Everybody is granting him his absolute best Performance. I just watched the movie and I cried and cried and when I believed there is no more tears there were more. It's one of the best movies in the world.
Watching Brendan get his Oscar is my happy place! Whenever life gets me down I come here and see this the greatest of all comebacks in history! I have loved him from the very start of his career and supported him when he disappeared from us praying he would come back and we would see this most humble and gentle of men once again, Brendan you are simply perfect in every sense of the word !
It's good to live in a world where Jessica Chastain and Brendan Fraser finally both own an oscar ❤
I still remember I was doing night shift, when I heard Brendan's name, I was literally jumping and shouting out of joy! People thought I was 🤣 but a very little they knew❤
The young Austin Butler an the great Colin Farrell seemed so genuinely happy for Brendan Fraser, it's heart warming
Austin was a kid when Brendan was the big star
That's what my thought was@@emiliobello2538
What a thrill it is to know that Brendan Fraser is an Academy Award winner now
Congratulations to Brendan, he certainly made a comeback in style, alongside his former "Encino Man" costar, Ke Huy Quan.
He had a couple of lines, and Brendan had.......
I was at work watching this, before the Oscars were about to start I created a voting game for all my coworkers to choose who will win the Oscar. I was having lunch watching the TV, I went onto my push to talk radio and announced that we are up to the Oscar for Best Actor and I when I said his name I could hear all my friends clapping and cheering throughout the store. He has truly made a triumphant comeback.
When the Oscar’s were happening, I was a massive fan of the film Elvis, and was beyond upset that Austin butler didn’t win best actor. Today I watched the whale for the first time and I believe he truly deserves this Oscar, it was a beautiful film and an amazing comeback for Brendan Fraser
A HUGE congratulations to Brendan Fraser! Grew up with The Mummy, George Of The Jungle, Looney Tunes: Back In Action, Journey To The Center Of The Earth, and he officially won an Oscar for The Whale! What a huge comeback for his career!!
I like Austin Butler's nod when they announce the winner. Even he knew Brendan deserved it.
Austin should have won it! If it was solely based on who played their role better, Austin would’ve won it by a long shot. I love Brendan, because of how great of a person he is, but I can’t help but think that was the reason he won.
@@clintonbehrens1133says only guy who has not seen the Whale.
I've watched both a few times I think Austin was perfection as Elvis. He embodied him so well. Brendon was excellent and had to walk in a huge fat suit. I'm happy Brendon won but sad for Austin. But I know Austin will get an Oscar he's young.
@@patriciasmith5083 Maybe he'll get it for Dune Part 2.
Notice how Austin Butler immediately jumps up from his seat to give applauds for Brendan. Such a class act, I hope he goes as far as Brendan and gets his Oscar one day too.
Austin probably watch the Whale and was like: "Ah. This scene nailed Oscar to Brendan."
@@MikkoSimila just näin. 😁
I had the pleasure of speaking with this man a couple of years ago, through a virtual comic cons meet and greet. Growing up, he was my childhood hero, and I’m happy to say he still is. This is an award that has definitely been well earned much love to this man!
He protec He attac But most importantly He came back.
When Brendan Fraser won the Oscar, I jumped and screamed like a little boy who just got a new game that he wanted. I'm so happy that Brendan won the Oscar. He truly deserved it more than any other actor.
Why ? Butler was robbed
A lot of guys waving the flag here.
@Lex Kanyima Butler did an amazing job as Elvis, but I thought Brendan Fraser had a better performance.
@@rockstar-gc2006 how ? Fraser didn't win the Golden Globe leading up the Oscars
@@lexkanyima2195 A lot of actors who've won the Golden Globes don't win the best actor from the Oscars.
My mom and I screamed and cheered so loudly for him. This still brings tears to my eyes today because you can hear how humble and genuine Brendan is. He deserved this. We do not deserve him.
Fraser alongside Di Caprio has been the most heartfelt wins in Oscar recent history
This ceremony was really close to the good old days of the Oscars, congratulations.
No comparison. I remember the 80's when there were real stars there.
I have never cried so much during a film than when I did with The Whale. One of the most humanizing performances I've ever seen by Fraser wow, the Oscar was SO well deserved. Long live B.F.!
Oh me too. He was beyond amazing.
Everytime I watch this clip, I still cross my finger for, Brendan Fraser. Thank God he won the it. This was a great night all our Childhood Hero's for sure.
Movie was so amazing and sad. He deserved this award more than anyone in that list. They were good but he was amazing, so happy for him
1:12 I was waiting the whole ceremony for this moment. And it became true. What an awesome comeback (along with Ke Huy Quan). Brendan Fraser, Phoenix from the Flames.
His reaction is amazing. He was my hero on screen as a child. No matter the horrific feats he faces he overcame! And now he’s really doing it!
I literally cried, i was so happy for him 😭🥹
Such a beautiful performance and such a well deserved win! I'm so happy to see him back, and wish him continued success.
The end scene in The Whale was the most moving ending I've ever seen in a movie from while.
He’s always been famous to me. So much humility.
Such a humble man. Truly a wonderful human being. And a very fine actor. God Bless Him.
I think it is safe to say that A24 dominated this year's Oscars.
Shame Marcel The Shell With Shoes on and Close lost
@@manuelbello5806 But the wins for both "The Whale" and "Everything Everywhere All At Once" more than made up for those losses
I've just watched the film, I thought it was magnificent and his acting was powerhouse, he truly deserved this I'm so happy for him, when he won and I heard he'd won, I was overjoyed and so glad for him, I've always liked him,
Awesome! I'm looking forward to watching this ❤
He is my favourite actor... Finally, he deserved this after a long struggle...salute to Brendan Fraser, a good man.
A childhood icon we missed seeing on the big screen has returned to us triumphantly. That’s Brendan Fraser, people.
This man has suffered so much in hes life and u can totally tell he was not expecting it and im so happy for him grew up watching hes movies as a kid and so happy for him 😊
According to him. All lies.
After all he had been through, I was so pleased that the Oscars did him justice by awarding him for Best Actor! Also... I did not expect he would start this speech by mentioning the Multiverse. A good surprise, still.
After all his lies and PR propaganda.
It was a sympathy win because of how Hollywood treated him; it was their way of saying they're sorry. Austin Butler deserved that Oscar; he should've won. What a joke!
shut up or f off, ideally both in either order@@ifyouonlyknew811
i Love how Halle smiles when she finds out he won the oscar
The Brenaissance was real. We witnessed it. What an achievement
The Mummy is without a doubt my favorite childhood movie. If it's on somewhere, I always watch it to the end. That movie got me through cancer, I used to put it on every night before chemo and it was like a warm blanket wrapping around me so I could sleep. It wasn't until years later I found out that re watching the same movie is an anxiety triggered response to comfort yourself, because you know whats going to happen, the movie never changes. Thanks Brendan, you're an amazing human being.
I swear, If I see a fangirl in the comments complaining about Austin Butler not winning...
[crying in Elvis] puhhoo 😅
FarmerHoggett You're a Babe fan, but you liked this pretentious woke c***? Amazing.
George of the Jungle is now an Academy Award winner.
Jarred Kennedy At least George was likeable, unlike most of his other 50+ other characters. If the public knew, that's the one he should've won for.
And the Oscar goes to… The Great Brendan Fraser, I’m so happy him!!😊 He deserved it for the amazing performance in The Whale and for the return in Hollywood industry! I would like to mention Hong Chau she is amazing to, and she didn’t win any awards!😒 Another mention for Sadie Sink, she is incredible in the movie, is acting talent is out of the ordinary!😉🤩
And seeing Samuel and other cast members crying for Brendan is beautiful. Shows how much of a great person Brendan is. I haven't seen the cast cry for a fellow actor winning a Oscar I don't think?
He deserves this award. Overcoming story. May he return even more to the cinema screens.
I’m surprised he won actually
I could care less about awards but man.... he truly deserved this and I'm so happy for him. I just love Brendan. He was amazing in The Whale
*couldn't care less
His performance was so heartbreaking and it’s those performances you really feel for them and shows the actors are willing to be that raw and vulnerable and Fraser did that.
Deserved. Regardless of how you feel about the film. He nailed it.
I love the harp cue at 1:35, perfect timing to show that Oscar gold! Congrats Brendan Fraser!!
I hoped for Colin, Austin,Bill and Paul get an Oscar one day soon.
Especially Paul and Austin cause they are young, although I think Mason Thames I’m the Black Phine should have been instead of Brendan Fraser, Ricardo Darin in Argentina 1985 instead of Paul Mezcal, Eden Dambrine in Close instead of Bill Nighty, and Idris Elba in Beast instead of Colin Farrel
I just finished watching the movie, and few have left me with a lump in my throat at the ending. This was one of them.
I love his speech, but I really love the hug he gives his sons and the shoutout to his son at home. He's a genuine guy.
I'd like to know how they were seated behind him. I've never seen anyone's kids seated downstairs, unless they are the nominee's +1, like Farrell's son.
Seeing his sons hug him was everything
Did you know one of them is autistic?
@@manuelbello5806 That one was in NY with his mother.
They were well paid.
I love the reaction of Austin Butler when Brendan has won
That’s because Austin is a good guy. But Austin should’ve won! Honestly he got ABSOLUTELY robbed!
Blast From the Past will always be my all-time favorite Brendan Fraser movie. I re-watch it every single year. Still can't believe my lovely Brendan is an Oscar winner. He deserved it. Brilliant performance
Love that movie. Can't believe it flopped.
Every other nominee didn't even blink or show an ounce of disappointment at this announcement. A couple of them even pumped their fists for him; each of them knows he deserves it.
"So this is what the multiverse looks like!" will forever be my favorite quote.
I have never felt so proud! That day i cried, got so emotional, growing up watching my favourite actor, my hero, he who inspired me to be an actor. I thank you Brendan! I think we've all waited for so long for this to happen! x
The UK @@Brendanfraserofc 🤩
Unfortunatly i'm not im afraid@@Brendanfraserofc
I am just a huge fan and supporter of Brendan, i have such respect and awe of him. Grown up watching his talent grow.
I thank you again for your support and repsect for this fine gentleman
Brendan Fraser was shaking because he couldn’t believe he made it. This guy is one of my favourite actors of all time and he well deserved it. The voice the shake in it the words. Truly spectacular for this comeback.
He was shaking because he needed a drink 🤦🏻♂️.
When his name was called, I screamed. Then cried. I didn't know him from The Mummy, George of the Jungle or Bedazzled. I knew him from the very underrated 'Looney Tunes Back In Action'. I watched that movie almost religiously when I was little. I remembered his name, but never thought much else about him. Until last year, with the Venice Film Festival standing ovation. When I heard about the event, I thought to myself "Oh! Brendan Fraser? I remember him". Out of interest, I decided to do some research. I read about his triumphs, his hardships, but most importantly his courageousness, and his truly inspiring perseverance. Witnessing his comeback has been so amazing and heart-warming. We're so incredibly proud of you, you amazing man.
rrregan You read the PR propaganda that Brendan paid them for. All lies.
Well deserved, that movie was a masterpiece, a Picasso, a Mozart, a Rembrandt. A beautiful piece of art.
Every single acting win was INCREDIBLE.
What do you mean? All actors who have won Oscars were deserved? No they weren’t
Antony Hopkins in The Father & Brendan Fraser in The Whale ❤
Yes
Such amazing performances from each actor.
The way he gets excited.. so sincere and emotional😢
😂Sure it is.
Bro give this man an oscar
Merecido pela atuação e carreira. Ele é um sobrevivente da depressão profunda, e essa volta por cima foi realmente uma prova da sua força de vontade e talento. Saia da escuridão e venha para a luz
He's Bipolar.
Dear Brendan Congratulations and please never ever disappear from the limelight again you may have done The Whale & Killers of the Flower Moon please do more movies Your fan from the Philippines PS: I also love the way when you shake Colin Farrell's hand
He was eyeing his kid.
