Brendan Fraser (53) has made it back to the big screen. The actor was very popular, especially in the nineties and early 2000s. Some of his best-known films include George Of The Jungle, Blast From The Past, and The Mummy films. 

The main features of the star at the time were full hair and a well-trained body. Now, we would have almost not recognized him. He presents himself with a body weight of over 270 kilograms.

All this for his new film role. It is directed by none other than Darren Aronofsky, who is responsible for the films Mother with Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem and Black Swan with Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.
