Brendan Fraser moved to tears again after standing ovation for ‘The Whale’

Brendan Fraser received emotional — once more — throughout one more standing ovation for his position in “The Whale.”

This isn’t the primary time Fraser was moved to waterworks by a standing ovation. On the Venice Worldwide Movie Competition in early September, he received emotional throughout a six-minute standing ovation for his efficiency within the Darren Aronofsky-directed film. 

Viewers members received déjà vu from the standing O.

“Am I at Venice? 5 min standing ovation for Brendan Fraser’s masterpiece efficiency in #TheWhale. He had the group within the palm of his hand your entire film. My coronary heart is in my throat,” one individual tweeted.
