Due to the ridiculous amount of misinformation still being circulated on the internet, we have decided to post the following information here. Please read, try to process it and pass it along. Life is too short to have to educate the world, one person at a time.
1) The first name is BRENDAN. NOT Brandon, Braden, Brynden, Brendam, Bredan, Brenton, Breaden, Braedan, Brendon,Brintin, or Brenden. The last name is FRASER. NOT Frasier, Fraiser, Frazer, Frazier, Frasher, or Fazer. The so-called Mandella Effect didn't exist in 1968 when BRENDAN FRASER was born. That's the spelling on his birth certificate, passport, driver's license, and SAG card. Sorry to spoil your "reality".
2) COMEBACK ??? 🤨How insulting. BRENDAN never stopped acting. He has ONE year and a few months (non consecutive) missing from his filmography (visit our pages here 😮on the blog, or at: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000409/
if you need proof). Leaving "Hollywood" is not the equivalent of leaving the industry. He has not lived or worked in California for fifteen years, but the extra pages in both of his passports are almost full again. He has made four series in five years and has another in post production. Television is as relevant as film these days.
3) BRENDAN moved his family from the West coast to the EAST coast in 2004 so that his son could attend a special school for children on the Autism Spectrum.
4) BRENDAN filed for divorce in 2007. He and Afton were divorced in 2009. Going back to court in 2013/14 to have the Alimony payments reduced was a huge mistake and gave birth to the memes and an unending string of lies, rumors and innuendo and dozens of repetitive and misleading YouTube videos.
The Alimony payments awarded by the Connecticut Family Court was $50,000 per month, $600,000 per year. The payments, (which were never lowered), ended on January 31, 2019. The child support payments of $25,000 per month were never contested and will continue until Leland is 19, in 2025.
5) BRENDAN's only "addictions" are Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey 🐒, Pizza🍕, and sushi🍣.
6) BRENDAN is not penniless, broken, ruined, destroyed, or a shell of his former self. BRENDAN lives a VERY comfortable life and does not need to be saved, helped, or protected.
7) BRENDAN does not want to shave his head👴 or grow a devil beard🧔 (whatever that is 🤨???)
8) Regarding BRENDAN's stunt work, you may find this enlightening : https://brendanfraserfactum.blogspot.com/p/bravehearts.html
9) BRENDAN's mother died November 21, 2016. The AOL interview was December 14, 2016. If you think that is two, four, or anything less than twenty three days later, you need to buy a new calculator. The interview had already been rescheduled once, and in hindsight, should have been cancelled.
10) BRENDAN has never filed for bankruptcy, nor has he ever lived in a cave.
11) BRENDAN's choice of acting roles is based on his own particular and sometimes puzzling criteria, which sometimes only HE truly understands. Examples:
The Mummy I,II,III: The boots.

- BRENDAN is also appearing at Comic-Cons across the globe. https://brendanfraserfactum.blogspot.com/2019/09/brendans-events-calender.html

11) BRENDAN's choice of acting roles is based on his own particular and sometimes puzzling criteria, which sometimes only HE truly understands. Examples:
The Mummy I,II,III: The boots.
Elling: He loved the Norwegian movie that it was based on.
Journey To the End of The Night: He wanted to go to Brazil.
Looney Tunes: He wanted to work with Bugs and Daffy.
Gods and Monsters: Ian McKellen.
The Quiet American: Michael Caine.
Line of Descent: He had never been to India.
Behind The Curtain of Night: He's part Czech.
Extraordinary Measures: Harrison Ford !!!
DOOM PATROL: 🤔?????????????
BRENDAN turned down the sequel to GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE (and the $12.5 million paycheck) because he was not contractually obligated to make the movie and wanted to make LOONEY TOONS: BACK IN ACTION instead. He pitched an idea for a cameo to producers, offering to appear in a fat suit, as if he had "let himself go" and then another actor would play George for the rest of the movie. DISNEY did not want to offend overweight moviegoers and declined his offer. Twenty three years later, BRENDAN'S idea seems rather........ ironic🤔.
Well, you know what they say about Karma.
12) PHILIP BERK is NOT a Hollywood "elite", a producer, a director, the head of a major studio, high-powered executive, a big wig, a higher up, or a mogul. He is journalist from South Africa. He is also the FORMER President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. He did not blacklist Brendan or ruin his career.
13) Dwayne "The Rock"Johnson did not "steal" Brendan's career. Many actors turn down roles for one reason or another and other actors fill those roles. A good example is Brendan filling RICK O'CONNELL'S boots because Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Sylvester Stallone ,a Leo DiCaprio, and yes, even TOM CRUISE had taken a pass on the role. Ditto GODS AND MONSTERS when Robert Downey, Jr. decided to forego the film.
Brendan turned down the sequel to JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH because WARNER BROS. did not honor the terms of his contract, NOT because ERIC BREVIG was not available to direct. BREVIG had already turned down JTTCOTE 2 to helm the special effects on JOHN CARTER (2012).
Okay ? I'll add to this list as it becomes necessary or I might just walk the dog instead. Yeah, that sounds like a better way to spend my free time. 😉
