Brendan Fraser, the star of “The Mummy,” put on up to 270 kg. New images alarmed enthusiasts.
For his part in Darren Aronofsky’s play Whale, he changed his appearance. The A24 film studio’s Twitter account posted the first image taken on the set.
The movie is a part of the 79th Venice International Film Festival’s official lineup, which runs from August 31 to September 10. The actor’s head is all that is visible in the opening photos from the filming, but it is already obvious that he has totally transformed into the main character, who is a foggy figure.
Keith narrates the tale of Charlie, a man who gained up to 270 kg as a result of binge eating and the breakup with his fiancée. Ellie, the protagonist’s 17-year-old daughter, is upset with him for betraying his family and the protagonist tries to mend fences with her.
Something must be there that we haven’t yet seen. I can only say that. Certainly, it falls short of all I’ve done in the past, but I’m not trying to be humble. I anticipate your admiration, he says.
It should be noted that Brendan Fraser has put on a lot of weight recently as a result of accidents and personal issues he had while filming The Mummy. This wasn’t always the case, though, since his superb shape throughout his formative years made many people envious.

Brendan Fraser had a weight problem and was in risk of quitting his job.
Consider the time in the actor’s life when there wasn’t much employment. He dove headfirst into each project and suffered major injuries on the third “Mummy” filming set, including a broken rib, an intervertebral disc rupture, knee, and voice cord damage. Up until 2015, Brendan spent a lot of time in the hospital to enhance his health. This is one of the factors contributing to the actor’s sudden weight gain, as was previously noted.
