Inside Brendan Fraser and Girlfriend Jeanne Moore's Budding ... (countryliving.com)

Brendan Fraser received an Oscar nomination for his role in The Whale. He and his new girlfriend Jeanne Moore went public in September.

The two met in 1993 at a party at their mutual friend Winona Ryder's house. He said, "Without the love of...the clarion call that is my girl Jeanne, I wouldn't be able to do any of this. Brendan was previously married to Afton Smith, an actress who appeared in Reality Bites, Fried Green Tomatoes, and George of the Jungle (alongside Brendan). Now that he's nominated for his first-ever Academy Award, we wouldn't be surprised to see more tears if he comes home the winner. This relationship is still fairly new, but Jeanne Moore has been by Brendan's side for about six months. This awards season, all eyes are on Brendan Fraser.

So this is what the multiverse looks like!” the star of The Whale exclaimed, taking the stage at the Oscars.

His role in The Whale, however, earned immense acclaim from the moment it premiered at the Venice Film Festival last fall. After a series of surgeries and some major roles he missed out on, he told Aronofsky said that he imagined “every movie star” in the role of Charlie, an English teacher grieving the loss of his partner and binge-eating to the point that he has become housebound. And I’m grateful to Darren Aronofsky for throwing me a creative lifeline and hauling me aboard the good ship The Whale.” He then thanked screenwriter Samuel D. I thank the Academy for this honor and our studio, A24, for making such a bold film. One of the year’s most compelling comeback stories is now complete.

Hollywood parece haberse redimido con Brendan Fraser tras haberle reconocido ayer con el Oscar a mejor actor por su trabajo en La ballena (The whale).

Se conocieron en una barbacoa que organizó Winona Ryder en el verano de 1993 y se casaron cinco años más tarde. Y todo mientras muestra su cariño y emoción en discursos conmovedores con una máxima recurrente: «Charlie –su personaje en La ballena– ha sido un regalo que no vi venir, pero que ha cambiado profundamente mi vida». Su reaparición en una entrevista visiblemente desmejorado, con bastantes kilos de más y la cara envuelta en lágrimas años después tampoco ayudó y los mismos que antes compraban sus entradas de cine para verle en pantalla grande aseguraban ahora que el actor estaba acabado. Su matrimonio también se deterioró y acabó separándose de la que había sido su mujer durante una década, Afron Smith. Se sometió a una laminectomía lumbar —para extirpar parte del hueso de la vértebra—, una operación de rodilla y otra en las cuerdas vocales que lo llevaron a estar siete años «entrando y saliendo en hospitales». Un auténtico reclamo para millones de espectadores que no dudaban en acudir a una sala de cine para ver a un personaje tan gracioso como atractivo.
