The visit of Brendan Fraser Kelly Clarkson’s talk show has left us with nearly endless headlines from the performer who is leading all bets to win this year’s Oscar Prize. The American made a brutal confession during the show about his role in The Whale (La ballena) and the day he almost died during filming The Mummy.
Because it is one of the most shocking and misunderstood to date, we will start with this anecdote which he now remembers with a smile but which was one of the most moving episodes of his career. This is how the artist remembers it: “I was on my tiptoes with the rope around my neck and the director came running and said to me: ‘Hey, it doesn’t look like you’re suffocating Really.’ To which I replied: ‘Ok, good. One more take., man'”.
However, the situation wasn’t going to be as simple as rehearsing a scene and letting out the dialogue: “The guy holding the rope above me pushed a little higher and I was on my tiptoes. . That day, I was on the verge of choking. The next thing I remember, my elbow was in my ear and the world was off to the side. There was gravel in my teeth and everyone was very quiet. Everyone except the stunt director who said, “Congratulations and welcome to the club. Same thing happened to Mel Gibson on ‘Braveheart’.”
It’s not the only time he’s been applauded for his work. The actor also confessed to the effort it took to step into the role of the protagonist of The Whale: Charlie. “Eating disorders are bad, and Charlie has an eating disorder. You have to have respect for a disease, and Charlie didn’t acknowledge it or accept it or ignore it. He’s not someone one who wishes to die. He, you’re someone who’s been through a lot of emotional turmoil, and food as medicine is not the right medicine for what’s really hurting you, just trying to fill the void in the trauma, and that trauma is represented by body size overriding it,” explained the performer who signed up for Obesity Action Coalition Community Therapies.
“This guy is in a lot of pain, so when his eating disorder taps him on the shoulder and says, ‘You’re going to take care of me now’, he’s helpless, so are addictions, gambling, sex “, acknowledged Brendan Fraser. . “I asked doctors these specific questions about eating disorders, and yes, these are the same neural pathways that give us the dopamine rush.”
