This year, the star of the Mummy franchise, Brendan Fraser, starred in the film directed by Darren Aranofsky, The Whale, which is tipped for the Golden Globe in many categories. However, the 53-year-old leading man is not going to attend the award ceremony under any circumstances. — He spoke about this in the new issue of GQ magazine. By the way, you can watch the whole shooting in our Telegram channel.
The fact is that in 2003, Fraser was sexually harassed by the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which presents the Globes, Philip Burke. According to the actor, because of this incident, he refused to film a movie for years. For the first time, he spoke about this case only in 2018. It is noteworthy that after that, no disciplinary measures were taken from the company against Burke, and he was fired only in 2021, moreover, because of racist statements.
I have more bad memories of HFPA than respect for them. No, I will not participate. All because of that story. My mother didn’t raise a hypocrite. You can call me whatever you like, but not with this word, ”he said in a dialogue with a GQ journalist.
The nominees for the Golden Globes will be announced on December 11. The 80th anniversary ceremony will take place on the night of January 10-11, 2023.
Note that Brendan Fraser — not the first male Hollywood actor to come out as harassing. For example, in September of this year, Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey spoke candidly about his experience of sexual abuse.
