The Rock reacts to actor who helped kickstart his career sobbing during comeback movie premiere

By Anirban Banerjee Modified 05 Sep 2022 Follow Us 1 Comment Share The Rock had a heartfelt message to send to an old friend in a tweet WWE legend Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson may be one of the most successful actors in Hollywood currently, but even he owes his career to someone. After Brendan Fraser broke down during the premiere of his comeback movie, The Rock paid tribute to Fraser for helping him find his footing in the acting industry. Despite being extremely successful in Hollywood, Brendan Fraser slowly stepped away from the limelight after he was allegedly sexually assaulted by Philip Berk. The latter was then the president of the Hollywood Press Association. Soon after, he moved away from the cameras due to backlash within the industry when he spoke out against Berk, as well as several injuries. Before that, however, Fraser helped The Rock in his first-ever acting role as the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns. Although Fraser has acted in a few film and television roles in recent years, his role as the lead in Darren Aronofsky's The Whale saw him gain attention, and it was dubbed his comeback movie. After the premiere of The Whale, the audience gave the emotional actor a six-minute standing ovation that saw him practically sobbing.
