Brendan Fraser, star of The Whale, says he has been told his Oscar-nominated role as Charlie will save lives.
"They believe that Charlie's going to save someone's life, many people's lives, so that means a lot to me", Fraser said in a Zoom interview with ABC News.
Originally a play by Samuel D. Hunter, the story follows Charlie, a man suffering from severe obesity, who in his dying days attempts to reconnect with his teenage daughter.
