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.

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.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
