Dwayne Johnson has voiced his support for Brendan Fraser, his The Mummy Returns co-star, to receive an Oscar!
“I want him to go all the way, man,” Dwayne told MTV News. “I wanna see him on that Oscar stage, and hold that sucker up, and deliver, I’m sure, what will be an amazing speech.”
Dwayne expressed gratitude for the opportunity he had in making the 2001 movie, The Mummy Returns, with Brendan‘s support.
“I’d just come from WWE. I had no acting experience except in the WWE. I had never been on a movie set before ever and, all of a sudden, I’m in the middle of the Sahara Desert making The Mummy Returns,” Dwayne said. “And I get that kind of nod of acceptance from the star of the movie. It really meant a lot to me. So many years later, I never forgot it.”
Interestingly, the two met for the very first time at the reception of the movie.
“The first time I met him was at the reception after The Mummy Returns. We hadn’t met in person before then, actually, although we were fighting onscreen. But every time I worked with him, he was just a piece of tape on a stick. So it was nice to go, ‘Hey, man. How are ya? We finally meet!,’ Brendan told Variety.
Brendan has been receiving rave reviews and standing ovations for his performance in The Whale.
