A legendary moment! Brendan Fraser and Michelle Yeoh reunited fourteen years after costarring in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor — and it was for a very special occasion.

“This is new for me. Normally I’m the guy who hands these things out,” Fraser joked as he accepted his trophy. “Apart from being a part of some impressive and talented ensemble casts, I think the last time that I waited to hear my name called aloud to receive an award was in grade four, and it was from the peewee bowling league.”
Following the ceremony, the pair reunited at the after-party event, sharing a sweet moment together and posing for photos.
The twosome were last onscreen together for the 2008 action-adventure — the third of the Mummy franchise. The film featured the return of Fraser’s Rick O’Connell venturing to China to help son Alex O’Connell after he’s been tricked into reviving a ruthless Dragon Emperor.
