Fresh off winning the Best Actor Oscar, the Brenaissance remains in full effect as Brendan Fraser continues to bask in the glow. All the fanfare has allowed Fraser and his fans to revisit his illustrious career. Of course, one beloved film (or film series) continues to come up whenever he’s interviewed – The Mummy. So it’s no surprise that the School Ties actor decided to revisit the film and its fanbase in a surprisingly adorable way. The Oscar winner recalled revisiting the film series on the big screen dressed as Rick O’Connell.
Before his much-deserved Oscar win, Fraser sat down with Kelly Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson Show to discuss this role in The Whale. Before getting into the sentimental drama, Clarkson asked the Rick O’Connell actor about surprising an audience at a London cinema during a double feature of The Mummy and its sequel The Mummy Returns. The 54 year-old actor recalled what it was like being in a theater again dressed as his beloved character.
