Proof Brendan Fraser Is The Happiest Man Alive
By Brendan Fraser, Age 8
When I grow up, I want to be a movie actor. I know that a lot of kids say that, but I know that I will succeed, because I am not unrealistic about it like Tiffany, who says she wants to be as famous as Madonna. I don't think Madonna's even going to be famous that much longer anyway; not after that naughty Sex book my Dad bought and hides under his mattress.
The reason I think I can be an actor is because I have normal expectations. I don't want to be a big dramatic actor, or even a big action star. All I want is to be that guy that people know his face, and some people know his name, but most people just go "oh, yeah, that guy." This is my dream.
And instead of being in any serious movies, I just want to be in the kinds of movies that parents take their kids to the matines of because they think it will be fun and have some action, but not be too violent. Like movies where there is some punching, but not lots, and all the shooting misses.
I would like to fight Mummies. In real life, but if that is not possible, at least in a movie.
Mummies are not that scary; they move slow and they are wrapped in toilet paper. So as an actor in the movie I could make a lot of jokes like boy, you are slow, and you know what else is in toilet paper? But then before I could say poop the ground would break or something and Id fall and yell real goofy. The kids would like that, because its goofy, and the parents could laugh because they knew I was talking about poop.
Maybe Disney could produce my action movies. I think that would make sure my head never got too big, or I got to thinking I was a real movie hero. I just want to be regular. Instead of going to bars and clubs in Hollywood, I will go to the Applebees in Long Beach. And when I date ladies, they will be pretty, but not so pretty that the media makes a name out of both of our names to represent the couple.
In my movies, I will always have kids with me. That will keep me from swears. Also in my movies, I will always dress kind of the same: a khaki vest and stuff like Indiana Jones, but not as nice. That way, people will remember that I was in other movies that they saw.
When I do interviews, I will seem like I am not having a very good time, but just saying what the interviewer wants to hear. This will make me seem like I am smarter and more talented than the movies I am in, but that I just never get a fair shot. That way no one will really know how good I am (which is just okay). This will work at first, until later in my career when my interviews will just be painful to watch.
In my movies, the final answer to the riddle will always be friendship. This will teach families that friendship is the best thing.
Other best things I would like in my movies:
I think these things will make enough good movies that people will like me, but enough really bad movies that no one will really like me. That way, I can be nice to my fans that speak to me on the street, because I will be lonely.
After a long time, I will take a break from making these movies, because I may be sad that everyone always sees me and says yeah, that guy. I kind of like him. I will do some TV show appearances and maybe a dramatic art film where I am gay. This will surprise everyone, and prove that I have acting skill, because in real life I am not gay. Or am I? No one will care enough to find out.
But after a few years, I want to then go back to movies. I dont think I will be able to be in great scripts, because I will already be known as the guy that does okay family action movies, and no studios will want to take a chance on me as a big star. But to make my comeback big, I will have to do something interesting, like maybe making TWO movies instead of one like usual.
Maybe one will be in 3-D. That will make people kind of like me even more than they did before.
And at the movie premieres I will wear suits that are nice, but not too nice, and only a few cameras will be there. But still, I will smile, because deep inside I will know that all along, this was my dream.
When not being prescient, Brendan Fraser has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with sketch comedy troupe Those Aren't Muskets!









Haha! ZING.
ReplySuch a funny article..
Replyquite sweet
ReplyI love Brendan! I'll watch ANY movie with him in it. He is a good actor. He just finished filming The Crowley project along with Harrison Ford. Can't wait to watch it.
ReplyThere should be a
Replything' after jokes.
First of all, funny article...I want to have you babies...I take pictures of you sleeping yadda yadda yadda....You know, everything that Female Cracked Readers [we are deserving of Caps] are supposed to say.
ReplySecond of all, I loved Brendan Frasier in the Mummy. The Mummy is my I-Want-To-See-Hot-Guys-With-Nice-Hair-Shoot-Things-While-Screaming-Mildly-Amusing-Jokes.
Third...Ly...If of all, this is very true. I think that the interview was a very subtle sarcasm on Frasier's part. Subtle enough that only you get it, so you won't be fired, but enough that you secretly feel like you're rebelling against the system.
XD I love Brandon Fraser but this was hilarious.
ReplyI have an opinion, but I want to wait and see if it's the same after I see Inkheart.
ReplyI would like to fight Mummies too. lets be friends!
ReplyYou told me your name was BUT i LEFT IN ABAD WAY ANYWAYmylife bad since Karma sucks remember saki

lan Rouge style'If You do that it would be perfect.
Hope your doing well
ReplyActually you guys, he can act, and pretty darn well, actually! See Gods and Monsters, and the Quiet American, amongst others if you don't believe me. As for the rest of his career, he kinda reminds me of the typical guy from your office who always shows up on time, always does a good job for the company but has been in the same job for twenty years without a promotion - kind of like his character in Bedazzled actually. On the surface you might think, oh what a loser, but I don't think we should in Brendan Fraser's case. From what I've heard about him personally, I think this is the life he wants doing mostly fluff movies but still bringing in the box office receipts for his studio. Who know's, maybe he is the happiest man alive?!
ReplyNow, now Swaim! Don't you go talking about about ol' Brendan. I think Crash has already been mentioned but I'm gonna mention it again damnit! That movie was awesome and he was awesome in that movie.
ReplyAlso, I still love The Mummy movies :)
Wait, Swaim was talking about Brendan Fraser?!
ReplyI must have not been able to navigate my way around the subtle sarcasm.
Love you rele :P
Okay, Brendan Fraser is *clearly* tired in that interview. Not bored, not high, not drunk, but tired.
ReplyWhatever, I'll defend him to my dying death! God Save Brendan!
"To all those people who say that Swaim’s mocking Brendan: how could he bring up the shittiness of the way Hollywood treats him in a way that was gentler than a letter written by his fake 8 year old self and is at the same time not horribly unfunny? If he made a Cracked-style list, it would’ve definitely been mocking, and if it wasn’t, it wouldn’t have been funny. As far as I can see, he did this in the most sympathetic way possible while at the same time remaining funny."
Replybut it wasn't funny.
The Scout was the shit...Steve Nebraska was the most dominant movie baseball player ever.

ReplyI used to have a celebrity crush on him entill I was informed that my mother in law sleeps with a picture of him taped to a pillow and wrights slash fictions about them
ReplyI pitty him now
I hope he may he never find out about the 45y/o hippy "artist" who loves him
This article was kinda funny.
ReplySomewhat true, too. However, I get the feeling that Brenden Fraiser is happier then most of you douchebags.
You can't really dislike the guy. It's not like we all know him as a hollywood dickwad.
And everything that I've seen him himwas decent enough. I cannot recall any of his roles that have fallen flat.
Basically, to be a good actor you need to be able to convince people that you are the character you are playing. Your acting can't seem like it.
I wonder how many of those people who posit that Fraiser is a sad person arnt just venting their own inner angst on him because he's the topic at hand?
Many, I'm sure.
True champions, that's what they are.
