Brendan Fraser is one of the most incredible actors that the world has ever seen. Starring in the iconic role of Rick O’Connell in the 1999 film The Mummy, the actor was wrongly accused at the peak of his fame and exiled from Hollywood.
Making a career comeback with The Whale and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, audiences are now confused about whether to insult or appreciate Fraser. With a vast difference in the level of acting in The Whale and Scorsese’s film, it seems that Brendan Fraser had a rough patch in the 2023 movie.
Brendan Fraser’s Acting In Killers of the Flower Moon Was Not That Great!
It may have been possible that Fraser didn’t have the time to get into his character because his role was minor compared to other actor’s screentime. Portraying the role of a lawyer, Fraser solidified his career comeback in Hollywood but also suffered the insults and jokes of people around the world.
Insulting Fraser and his acting skills, some people were left in disbelief at the change in quality of acting in the 2022 film The Whale (starring Brendan Fraser) and Killers of the Flower Moon. Taking to X, the people tweeted against the actor and trolled Fresar’s role in the film.

After dissing and insulting the actor, a group of people are also defending Fraser and stating that his acting skills are actually quite incredible. Taking to X, fans of Fraser are alleging that the hatred for his character comes from being fatphobic and that his character has been prejudiced unfairly with Fraser’s past!
Brendan Fraser Does Know How To Act
With X taking two sides to defend and attack the George of the Jungle actor, a majority of the people stand in support of Fraser. With multiple tweets and shutting down insulting replies, fans rallied around the actor by stating that if director Martin Scorsese had no problem then the audiences shouldn’t have one either!
People that don’t like Brendan Fraser’s acting in Killers of the Flower Moon just don’t get it.
That’s peak lawyer acting.

Watching this scene having not seen the film, this just seems to be an actor…acting? Why is this worthy of derision? Is it something to do with Brendan Fraser’s weight? I would hope not. https://t.co/0WDiZsjOSX

solid 9; pacing far improved compared to The Irishman, great acting from everyone (yes Brendan Fraser did great, idk where this criticism is coming from), and it’s probably a more important film than Oppenheimer

This performance is great, and trust me, Marty knows more about casting and directing than you will ever know.
