Brendan Fraser discusses performing his own stunts and the brutal action sequences of TheMummy movies.
Brendan Fraser's career is currently going through something of a renaissance fondly dubbed "Brenaissance," by fans thanks in part to a brilliant leading performance in The Whale for which he has received a few awards including an Academy Award nomination. But before now, Fraser ruled the 90s and early millennium as one of cinema's major action stars.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Fraser spoke about this experience in a recent interview with The Telegraph where he detailed how he felt the need to perform his own stunts for The Mummy movies in order to justify the huge paycheck he was earning for the role. It was a grueling experience that took an enormous toll on his health requiring several surgical procedures to put him back in shape.
“I got a little banged up from years of doing my own stunts and needed a surgical fix on the spine and the hinges. And that took a lot out of me. I knew I would get better, but it took a long time. Every morning I was putting myself together like a gladiator with muscle tape and ice packs, strapping on this Transformer-like exoskeleton just to get through the scene.”
When Fraser began making a return to the acting scene, he started slow, ditching stunt-filled performances for dramatic roles in TV shows such as The Affair and Trust as well as lending his voice to a couple of animated characters. With time, Fraser would come to prove that he never lost his mojo by starring in projects such as the period crime thriller, No Sudden Move, and The Whale.
