Brendan Fraser moved to tears after The Whale receives five-minute standing ovation at London Film Festival
Brendan Fraser was brought to tears by a standing ovation for his new movie The Whale at London Film Festival.
Fraser and the movie's director Darren Aronofsky introduced the film to festival attendees at London's Royal Festival Hall, and Fraser then took a seat in the audience to watch the film. He then took to the stage again after the credits had rolled to thunderous applause.
"Am I at Venice?" tweeted (opens in new tab) one audience member. "Five min standing ovation for Brendan Fraser’s masterpiece performance in The Whale. He had the crowd in the palm of his hand the entire movie. My heart is in my throat."
"At the screening of The Whale, I've never seen a more rapturous reception to an actor at LFF than when Brendan Fraser stepped onstage," wrote filmmaker Edgar Wright on Twitter (opens in new tab). "This is before they saw the film. Afterwards, he could have crowdsurfed out and be handed the Oscar on the Southbank."
