Brendan Fraser Reveals He Starved Himself While Filming ‘George of the Jungle’: ‘My Brain Was Misfiring’
07.12.2022 - 04:35 / usmagazine.com
A scary situation. Brendan Fraser opened up about the drastic measures he took to remain in shape while filming George of the Jungle — and how it affected him physically.
“I was waxed. Starved of carbohydrates,” the Mummy actor, 54, said in an interview for Variety’s Actors on Actors series published on Tuesday, December 6. “I would drive home after work and stop to get something to eat.

Fraser also revealed that his character in the Tarzan parody film lacked wardrobe options since he only donned “a loincloth.” Despite the terrible conditions, the 1990s film, which also starred Leslie Mann and Thomas Hayden-Church, went on to be a box office hit.

In 2018, Fraser claimed that he was sexually assaulted by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Philip Berk, back in 2003. He revealed that the alleged incident played a role in his decision to step out of the spotlight.
Four years after the actor came forward with the allegations, he spoke out against how the HFPA handled the situation. In November 2022, he claimed in an interview with GQ that both Berk and himself had to sign a statement that declared the incident “was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.”
“I knew they would close ranks,” Fraser said at the time. “I knew they would kick the can down the road. I knew they would
