We Can Celebrate Brendan Fraser’s Standing Ovation While Also Calling Out The Whale’s Fatphobia

Brendan Fraser Hollywood

If you know anything about Brendan Fraser’s personal life and what happened to his career, then you should be cheering for this man. What a beautiful moment that’s is well deserved. The beginning of something special. https://t.co/obfjKeXNjG

A "body," by the way, that the lead actor took off at the end of the day! Because heaven forbid we see the actual nuances of an actual human with a body society hates and judges, played by an actor who lives in that body. NoooOOOOooooo it's the transformation that matters most

Hey, everyone, I know it sounds hard, but I promise that if you are willing to put in a few minutes of your time, you will be able to hold both "Brendan Fraser deserves the world" and "The Whale is unapologetically fatphobic and deserves to be critiqued for that" in your heart.
