Brendan Fraser: Oscar win not a comeback
20 Jan
Summary
- Fraser feels no need for a comeback narrative with his Oscar win.
- He aims to continue seeking challenging projects after his success.
- Fraser now has a greater appreciation for time and his career.

Brendan Fraser, fresh off his 2023 Academy Award win for his role in The Whale, is disavowing the 'comeback' narrative. He stated in a recent interview that he never considered himself absent from Hollywood, having worked for over three decades. Fraser sees his Oscar win not as a return, but as a recognition of collective effort. He is motivated by this success to avoid complacency and actively pursue new, engaging projects. Fraser's recent work includes roles in Killers of The Flower Moon and Brothers, and he recently starred in Rental Family.
He now expresses a sense of calm and confidence, coupled with a keen awareness of time's value. Fraser shares three sons with his ex-wife and is currently in a relationship. He believes this renewed perspective allows for starting anew and doing better, a sentiment he extends to everyone. The latest issue of AARP The Magazine features Fraser, available in February.
