Brendan Fraser turns into a 600-pound hermit for his next role

Great idol of the 90s, Brendan Fraser was rather absent from our screens during the 2000s.

However, for some time now, the Canadian actor has begun to remake his mark.

On Tuesday, the first image of his next film was unveiled. The actor known for his roles in Encino Man et George of the Jungle is unrecognizable.
