It’s surprising to think that a minor part in The Mummy Returns launched the career of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who was already well-known as a professional wrestler. That role led to The Scorpion King, and he’s since become a major movie star, recently appearing in The Smashing Machine. Even Brendan Fraser, who starred in The Mummy, is amazed by Johnson’s success.
Speaking with Joshua Horowitz at the 92nd Street Y, Fraser was asked if he felt he was responsible for Dwayne Johnson’s career. While the Oscar Winner doesn’t seem to take much credit, he does acknowledge that Johnson himself has given him some credit. Mostly, Fraser just wants to talk about how great an actor Johnson has become. He said…
I can confidently say Dwayne is a true actor. If you haven’t seen the movie Smashing Machine, I highly recommend it – he delivers a really strong performance and has clearly developed into a skilled actor. He’s also a genuinely grateful person, always remembering to say thank you.
Dwayne Johnson has often shared how kind and supportive Brendan Fraser was while they filmed The Mummy Returns. He was genuinely thrilled to see Fraser win an Oscar for The Whale. While Fraser didn’t build Johnson’s career, he definitely helped him out at an important moment.
It would be remarkable if Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, a few years after Brendan Fraser’s Oscar win, were to contend for the same award. Although his film, The Smashing Machine, wasn’t a major commercial success, Johnson’s performance has been widely praised, sparking talk of a potential awards nomination. Fraser himself thinks this buzz is well-deserved, believing Johnson’s performance is truly exceptional. He went on to say…
He’s a genuinely kind person. And his recent work has been so impressive, it’s definitely made him an awards contender. Seriously.
Fraser revealed he and Dwayne Johnson recently filmed an episode of Variety’s Actors on Actors and enjoyed their conversation so much they continued chatting even after filming ended. It’s clear the two actors have a genuine connection and a lot of affection for each other.
I’m really excited to hear that Brendan Fraser is coming back to The Mummy! They’re actually working on a fourth movie, which is amazing. I’m hoping they’ll find a way to bring back the Scorpion King too. It’s funny to think that even though both Fraser and Dwayne Johnson were in the original movies, they never actually shared any scenes together – I bet they’d both be up for that now!
