Fraser, which broke out for the first time in the early 90s, made a number of action and adventure films that required serious cascade work. Towards the end of the 2000s, he withdrew from the spotlight, mainly making films on a budget and television. In a 2018 interview with Gq , the star revealed why his career had blocked. He alleged that in 2003, He was sexually assaulted by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Philippe Berk , which led to a fight of depression. (Berk denies the accusation.) In addition, Fraser had to undergo several surgical interventions to repair the damage caused by his career as a hero of action.

As I did the third Mummy Photo in China [in 2008], "The actor said:" I was assembled with adhesive tape and ice - just, like really cheesy and fetish on ice packs. Flaw -free ice cream packs and cradle pads, because they are small and light and can adapt under your clothes. I was building an exoskeleton for me daily. ""

By Gq , these surgeries included a partial replacement of the knee, a laminectomy and some work on its vocal cords. Fraser estimated that it lasted about seven years.

Fraser played the role of explorer Rick O'Connell in three films based on the classic universal monster: The Mummy (1999), The mummy returns (2001), and The mummy: tomb of the dragon emperor (2008). On February 28, the actor appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show , where the host asked him questions about the first film in which Fraser "died".

"Well, I was accidentally suffocated," replied the actor. He then described one of his first scenes in the film, where Rick is almost hanged before Rachel Weisz The Evelyn character brings local police to let him go.

"I was standing on my toes, like that, with the rope," continued Fraser, standing and demonstrating, "and you know, you only have so far. And Stephen [Sommers , the director] ran and he said, "Hey, it doesn't really seem to you to suffocate. Can you sell it? And I agree, okay, very well. So I thought: "Another catch, guy".

However, in the "sale", the scene, Fraser and the crew went too far. He fainted.

"The camera swung and I got on my toes, and the guy holding the rope above me, he pulled it a little higher, and I was stuck on my toes, I had nowhere Where to descend, "continued to explain to explain, as Clarkson looked horrified. "So it happened, and I was going down. Then the next thing I knew, my elbow was in my ear, the world was laterally, and there was gravel in my teeth. And everyone was really silent."

Subsequently, recalled the actor, the film's coordinator in fact congratulated him. "Congratulations, you are in the club. The same has happened Mel Gibson on Brave heart , 'Thank you, I think! I want to go home! "Said Fraser.

The incident also came in 2019, when Weekly entertainment gathered the cast and the director for A 20th anniversary reunion interview . When Fraser told the story of the suspended scene, Sommers intervened to add his memory. AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB

"[Brendan] is totally to blame," said the director. "He tightens the knot flowing, then, while we are about to get the blow, he tries to give the impression that it really strangled him. I guess it cut his carotid artery, or something else, and knocked him out. He did it. He did it. To himself. "

Fraser found a compromise.

"Stephen needed to sell that Rick was in fact choking, so technically yes, it was my fault, that I followed the management of my director to sell it," he said. "You know what? To be fair in this remark, I made a fatal error. I thought that before the camera puts on me, I take three really deep breaths, so my face becomes purple and my veins come out of My neck. I'm really going to sell it, you know! "

As scary as today on set, there is a consolation.

"I must say that what you see in the film is the catch they made," said Fraser EW "" So they had to cut, because a few moments later, I was outside. ""
