"Forest Tarzan" is a live-action version of "Tarzan of the Apes" released in 1997 and adapted from cartoons. I believe that this adventure comedy movie is a childhood classic for many people.
"Tarzan" George is played by Brandon. Brendan Fraser's strong physique and big eyes have also become the childhood male god in the hearts of countless people.
Two years after the film's huge commercial success, Brandon took on the Mummy series.
This drama film that combines adventure, tombs, action, and fantasy is arguably one of the most noteworthy series of films from the 90s to the 00s.
Brandon collaborated with the heroine Rachel. Vichy, is the current 007 Daniel. Craig's wife, an actress with a very presence in Hollywood.
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that the "Mummy" series has brought a career breakthrough to the starring actors.
Brandon also became a hot red star in Hollywood, and also participated in the Oscar for best picture "Crash".
Just when people thought Brandon was already on the front line, after working with Jet Li on "The Mummy 3", he seemed to disappear from the public eye.
In fact, from the list of Brandon's works, he did not withdraw from the circle, but there are almost no masterpieces or big-budget films, and most of the small screen works.
When you suddenly find that the boy god has returned again, he has changed his appearance and his abs have become belly.
Back photo at first glance, my God, isn't this Wan Zi Liang? Look for more pictures, and find that it is quite like Hong Jinbao.
So from red to paste, what exactly did Brandon go through?
These 3 major setbacks in life, Brandon can get to this day, it is quite strong.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > healthy</h1>
Because of the long-term shooting of action scenes, Brandon's physical health has been greatly affected. He said that when he was filming "The Mummy 3" in China, it was really a fight to achieve the effect.
As a result, he underwent multiple surgeries, including his back, lumbar spine, and even his knees were replaced, and his vocal cords were also operated on.
Some surgeries are painful because they compress the nerves and need to be adjusted after several years.
The injury affected Brandon's career to some extent.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > divorce</h1>
Poor health and problems in marriage. Divorcing his ex-wife, which requires paying up to $900,000 a year in alimony, Brandon has repeatedly asked the court to lower the amount of alimony, but seemingly unsuccessfully.
Although Brandon is quite rich, 900,000 a year is not a small amount, and it is a bit overwhelmed financially.
Coupled with career damage, the economic resources are unstable. Suddenly thought of Nicholas. Cage, when you are short of money, where do you have the courage to pick the script, and you have to go on the scalp.
And Brandon's son has autism and needs proper medical care and companionship. He also bought a horse specifically for his son and lived in a quieter suburb.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > sexually harassed</h1>
Yes, you read that right, Brandon was harassed by Hollywood executives.
It can be said that this incident was a turning point in his career, both professionally and psychologically.
The executive is Philip Berk, president of the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association (HFPA).
If you are not familiar with this organization, you may know that the Golden Globe Awards are hosted by HFPA. One can imagine the strong influence of this organization, as well as the connections and powers as president.
Brandon, who didn't dare to say it until 10 years later, mentioned in an interview: "That incident almost made me give up show business."
The two attended the same event, and when Brandon was about to leave, Berk touched Brandon's pp. Instead of an ordinary pat, it was kneaded and used fingers.
Brandon was so frightened that he left without daring to speak, and saw the police outside the door trying to call for help and then give up.
He recalls shaking off Berk's hand like an innocent child, feeling helpless to cry.
Afterwards, Berk said that he only pinched a little and apologized.
However, the HFPA refused to escalate the incident to xing harassment.
Brandon said he appeared to have been blacklisted after he reported Berk. Since then, he has not participated in the Golden Globes related activities.
However, HFPA has responded: Your career is not going downhill is not our pot. （His career declined through no fault of ours.）
But the fate of offending Hollywood bigwigs can be imagined, and resources should not be thought of. And psychologically, Brandon felt sick and decided to leave the entertainment industry for a while.
Even after all this time, Brandon said:
Am I still scared? yes.
Do I feel like I need to say something? yes.
Have I tried to tell the truth countless times? yes.
Eventually I stopped myself? yes.
It can be seen that this incident has a very big impact on Brandon.
From the surprise and shame of the encounter, to the entanglement and uneasiness of wanting to tell the truth, the timidity and guilt of not being able to say it, he has always been under great mental pressure.
While dubbing the movie "The Star Story," he actually punched himself in the face with his fist, saying he wanted to knock himself down. No longer proud of his new work, an inexplicable irritability.
Brandon said he's considered being a little thick-skinned, ignoring it, thinking about it, and continuing to work and live, but he just can't do it.
The eldest son has autism, divorces his wife, is alone and injured, harassed, and even suppressed.
Brandon's eyes were so clear when he was young, and looking at the 51-year-old, even if it was a magazine blockbuster, he was tired that could not be hidden.
Last year's participation in the American drama "Doom Patrol" was well received, and John . Travolta's film Poison Rose hit the streets. With Brandon's current appearance and figure, there is little hope of returning to the Hollywood front line.
This year's co-production of the movie "Fool's Game" is still worth looking forward to.
Brandon is expected to cooperate with Sun Honglei to stage a real version of "Please close your eyes when it's dark". However, there is Fan Bingbing in the cast list, and in the event of an extraordinary period, it is still unknown whether this movie can be successfully completed and released.
Brandon's experience is quite painful and regrettable, and the actor who could have become a big name can only enter the Canadian Walk of Fame. Only staying in the childhood memories of many viewers, just a star who was once popular.
I hope Brandon is healthy and continues to bring good works.
