Brendan Fraser reveals his late horse was an emotional support animal<\/p>\n
The 56-year-old actor, who has struggled with his mental health over the years, has paid tribute to his late support animal which he adopted after seeing his four-legged companion in the 2015 miniseries ‘Texas Rising’.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia Sunday (08.12.24), he said: \u201cI had a horse for a while there. He\u2019s not with us anymore, I\u2019m sad to say. He\u2019s in horsey heaven. He saved\u2026 not my life, but he certainly saved an emotional part of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the journey to transport Pecas, he added: \u201cI put him on FedEx. I flew him through El Paso. I dropped him off at JFK. He came. He walked right into the barn close to my home, where I\u2019d rented a stall for him, and he happily laid down on fresh cedar shavings and thought, yep, okay, I\u2019m done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Brendan revealed the real reason director Darren Aronofsky cast him as the lead Charlie in ‘The Whale’ – which he won the Best Actor in a Leading Role Oscar for – was because he hadn’t been onscreen for a while.<\/p>\n
\nThe actor underwent a major transformation for the part, donning a prosthetic suit and through CGI and makeup he appeared as the 600-pound man.<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Mummy’ star explained: “He was looking for an actor who hadn’t been seen in a while. He told me. And that was me. He wanted to reintroduce that actor through a performance that would be transformative and have an element of this is the last person you might expect to do this role.”<\/p>\n
\nBrendan previously admitted he thought there had been another huge Oscars mix-up when he heard his name called in the Best Actor category.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking backstage after his win, Brendan confessed: “When I first heard my name, I heard my name and I thought: ‘That can’t be right’… but it was, so I guess I should get up there and say something quick.”<\/p>\n
