Brendan Fraser is looking back on one of the most iconic movie roles he ever worked — but behind the scenes, it wasn’t as fun as the finished product made it look!
The 54-year-old actor sat down for Variety‘s “Actors on Actors” series this week, in which two stars interview one another. His fellow star? An old pal: Airheads co-star Adam Sandler. And while the duo talked plenty about the craft of acting in their new films, some surprising details came out about things that happened in Fraser’s career more than two decades ago!

Specifically, the Happy Gilmore star wanted to ask Brendan about his iconic appearance in 1997’s comedy George of the Jungle. The family film was a huge hit at the box office and helped propel Fraser’s career into the stratosphere. Obviously his charisma and comic timing were on display, but so was everything else — the hunky actor was cartoonishly shredded and wearing next to nothing!
When Sandler asked about the movie — which immediately followed their time together on Airheads, Brendan jokingly recalled the very extensive (LOL) wardrobe situation to Sandler:
Ha!!
But the Billy Madison star wasn’t feeling it! Sandler joked he was “disappointed” in his co-star for looking so good in George of the Jungle. Cracking up about how hunky Brendan was in the film, Adam said:
Ha! The Sandman quipped:
Too funny! And we’re pretty sure he’s speaking on behalf of all men. Brendan was definitely the yardstick by which an entire generation was measured!

Brendan Fraser will receive the Spotlight Award, Actor at the Palm Springs Film Festival’s awards ceremony, taking place in person at the Palm Springs Convention Center on January 5.

Choosing herself! Sister Wives’ Meri Brown is focused on moving forward as a single woman after confirming her split from Kody Brown in December 2022.
A24’s release of Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale had a strong holdover its second weekend out, grossing $168.5k on the same six screens in NYC and LA where it opened its first frame to the biggest per theater average of the year – beating the distributor’s March release of Everything Everywhere All At Once.

To say that A24 has deployed an interesting marketing strategy for “The Whale” is an understatement. After a rapturous debut at the Venice Film Festival, where critics were falling over themselves to give the Oscar to Brendan Fraser right then and there, there were months without any new marketing materials for the film.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Kody Brown and Janelle Brown hit a wall in their relationship on the latest episode of Sister Wives after they agreed to disagree about their children.
Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale from A24 swam to the biggest limited opening of the year in NY and LA this weekend, beating the per screen record set by in late spring by the indie distributor’s Everything, Everywhere All At Once.
A scary situation. Brendan Fraser opened up about the drastic measures he took to remain in shape while filming George of the Jungle — and how it affected him physically.
Airheads to turn himself into a literal airhead for George of the Jungle sounds like kind of a hangry nightmare.In a conversation with Adam Sandler for Variety's Actors on Actors series, Fraser revealed that he was “starved of carbohydrates” to attain his rope-swinging physique on the set of the 1997 comedy. “I would drive home after work and stop to get something to eat. I needed some cash one day, and I went to the ATM, and I couldn’t remember my PIN number because my brain was misfiring…I didn’t eat that night," he recalled, acting out his George-like frustration with the machine.This content can also be viewed on the site it from.Sounds about right; humans need food to think.
