“It’s kind of like winning an award you already know you’re going to win, but it still makes you feel a bit of responsibility to get it right no matter what,” Fraser said. ”I’m told that the rungs of the ladder are quite narrow, so I’ll just have to be very careful,” Fraser said. “I’ve also been told not to make the mistake of putting the green flag in my teeth as I climb the ladder. That would probably not be a good look.”
His new movie, Pressure, debuts on Friday. Brendan portrays President Dwight D Eisenhower.
