The Rock is certainly one of the biggest names in WWE and he has also become one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood as well. It has been noted that actor Brendan Fraser broke down during the premiere of his comeback movie and ‘The Great One’ paid tribute to Fraser for helping him find his footing in the acting industry.
The Rock reacts to Brendan Fraser getting emotional
Brendan Fraser is one of the successful actors in Hollywood. However, he silently walked away from the limelight after he was allegedly sexually assaulted by Philip Berk. The latter was then the president of the Hollywood Press Association.
Soon after, he moved away from the cameras due to the flak he received within the industry when he spoke out against Berk, as well as several injuries. Before that, however, Fraser helped The Rock in his first-ever acting role as the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns.
Although Fraser has acted in a few film and television roles in recent years, his role as the lead in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale saw him gain attention, and it was dubbed his comeback movie. After the premiere of The Whale, the audience gave the emotional actor a six-minute standing ovation that caused him to sob.
The legendary WWE star retweeted the moment and thanked the star for supporting him in his first-ever movie role, and paid tribute to Fraser.
“Man this makes me so happy to see this beautiful ovation for Brendan. He supported me coming into his Mummy Returns franchise for my first ever role, which kicked off my Hollywood career. Rooting for all your success brother and congrats to my bud Darren Aronofsky. #TheWhale “
