Brendan Fraser on Twitter, following the first screening of his new film The Whale. The psychological drama from Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday (4 September).
Fraser, who hasn’t had a lead role since straight-to-DVD thriller Breakout in 2013, underwent a dramatic physical transformation to play the part of a reclusive English teacher, living with severe obesity, in Aronofsky’s film. Following the film’s premiere this weekend, many are speculating that an Oscar nomination is imminent for Fraser.
