The actor surprised the audience at a screening of the 1999 hit in London, and was met with a standing ovation.

Brendan Fraser crashed a London screening of his 1999 hit film The Mummy and was met with a standing ovation from the elated audience.

The Whale actor—fully dressed as his Mummy character Rick O'Connell—addressed the audience:


"I am proud to stand before you tonight."
"This is a film that was made in Britain. You should know that!"
"Even the second one, too. Be proud."
"Thank you for being here."

Fraser also went on to explain the filming process, which underwent lots of changes, including rewriting and shooting different scenes.

"We had no idea what kind of movie we were making when we shot this."
"We didn't know if it was a drama or a comedy or straight ahead action or romance or horror picture... all the above."
"We had no idea until it tested in front of British audiences."
"Thank you for that."

The audience continued to cheer for Fraser.

While viewers thought Fraser's surprise appearance was extraordinary in itself, most commented on his humility and overall character.

Of course, this audience isn't the only one recognizing Fraser for his incredible work.

His performance in The Whale has earned him the Critics' Choice award for Best Actor as well as his first-ever Oscar nomination.

Fraser is also slated to star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's upcoming AppleTV film Killers of the Flower Moon, a movie based on the book by the same title about the murders behind white settlers' attempts to strip Osage families of their land and rights and the subsequent birth of the FBI.

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled JD Vance Over Tariffs With An AI Video About Couches

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Vice President JD Vance—and his love of couches—with an AI-generated video to troll him over the rising costs of goods due to President Donald Trump's retaliatory tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump announced new tariffs: 10% on softwood timber and lumber, and 25% on “certain upholstered wooden products,” set to take effect October 14. The move follows Trump’s announcement last week of additional tariffs on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and other upholstered products, which will take effect October 1.

In the United States, there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—schools founded when segregation laws and racist policies kept Black men and women from higher education. The schools developed their own unique culture and customs around stepping, marching band, drum majors, and majorettes.

HBCU majorettes march with the band, dance, and have stand battles during games. The dance style and moves are unique to Black culture, but have spread beyond the HBCUs to high schools and dance schools across the country.
