Brendan Fraser couldn’t hold back tears as he received the Best Actor award at the Film Critics Awards gala for his performance in ‘The Whale’, the new film directed by Darren Aronofsky, which opens in Spain on January 27.
In his speech, in which he could not contain his emotion, he talked about his character and how he can help all those in need: “If you, a guy like Charly, who I play in this movie, still have obesity issues, or just feel like you’re in a black hole, I want you to know that if you can find the strength to stand up and walk towards the light good things will happenAccording to The Hollywood Reporter, even Fraser couldn’t contain her excitement backstage where she was almost speechless to talk about the film: “It’s a leap of faith. Let’s all take this job as if it were the first and last time we could have the privilege of doing this job every day. And I think this film can help a lot“.
