How did Brendan Fraser get that ripped?


Is his workout routine preparing for his role documented anywhere?? Thanks

reply

I saw an infomercial on Jack Lalanne power juicer pro. And a trainer who works with celebs said Brendan worked with them getting ready for the movie.

reply

Well it was said on a Vanidades or Tu article somewhere if I remember he did a fruit regime.

reply

All I know is he looks hot in it. Been trying to find a poster of him in this movie for years & have had no luck.

reply

He's really let himself go these days. How can someone who had a body like that, and money to burn, get so fat in just a few years? A shame.

reply

God, I spent the entire film trying not to drool! And Brenden just doesn't look the same w/o long hair!

reply

Girls & boys from Canada are in good shape...

Now let's have a look at your photos at 29 and 45.

If a woman with a baby can be ripped soon after birth, so can someone that's 45. We have so much information about fitness these days that if you're able-bodied, there are no excuses. Only laziness, or on the flip side, absent-minded busyness

reply

You're saying that he should still look like that now and does not because he is "lazy" or "absentminded" ? Try, that "look" was for one character and would not have been appropriate for an entire career. Or, how about, who has time to be that shallow and vane ? There are better things to do with your life than working out and being on a miserable diet.And "healthy", "fit" people drop dead every day so waste your life jogging and drinking smoothies if you want to. I don't!

ignorance... not everyone can get into a mindstate consistent enough to stay in perfect shape all the time if you havent noticed, especially if they have other obligations... also with money comes temptation for other things besides hitting the treadmill...

reply

He's so ridiculous handsome in this movie. How on earth didn't he choose to keep that body?

reply

The diet and workout regime that achieved "that body" played havoc with his health and ruined his metabolism which is why his weight has fluctuated so drastically since then.

Life is too short to be that shallow.

According to the lady in his life, he still IS handsome ! ๎€น

Highly unlikely for his "diet and workout regime" to wreck his health, unless it consisted of steroids and/or HGH.

It's far more likely that his total lack of career and being whipped by his ex-wife have lead to depression, and his health has suffered as a result.

reply

For a guy who has only been a member for one day you're pretty opinionated. And is it "just" a coincidence that you are only posting on Brendan Fraser boards? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Contrary to popular belief, Brendan does not have anything to be depressed about.

George of the Jungle was 19 years ago. Move on. He has.

reply

Haha, why are you creeping on me lady?

And yeah, Fraser has plenty to be depressed about. Poor guy was poised to be A list, but The Rock swooped in and took his career. Next to him, Fraser looks about as bland as white bread, no crust.

The schmuck can't pick a script to save his life. He needs to fire his agent, assuming his agent hasn't already fired him.

reply

LADY???๎€ฆ Not the last time I looked.

The Rock ? ๎€ฆ Another good one. If anyone owes anyone their career it's the other way around. The Rock picked up a couple of jobs that Brendan had already dropped and that's all. And anyone would look "bland" next to that pumped up plastic action figure.

Brendan isn't working right now BY CHOICE.

Stick to commenting on what you know, which apparently isn't much.

Oh hey, sorry dude. I shouldn't have assumed you were a woman. It's totally possible, if somewhat unlikely, that you would want Brendan Fraser to open a Bed-and-Breakfast with you in the English countryside. (I'm like 70% sure he's straight, but hey I'm rooting for ya!)

And yeah, the Rock, a ridiculous wrestler who picked up acting on the side as like a third career, took roles in films that Brendan thought he was suddenly too good for. (Journey to the Center of the Earth 2...)

Guess what? He made such a name for himself as a reliable money maker that he's currently about as A list as you can get.

Where's Brendan? Costarring with some chick from Desperate Housewives in a direct to DVD feature? Yeah I'm sure that was by choice.

Face it, he wasted his best years picking terrible scripts, and now he's totally faded from Hollywood's memory. He was already lucky enough to have two careers, one in the early 90s, and a second one once The Mummy revitalized his career. I hope he invested his mummy munny well cause he's never gonna garner those numbers again.

reply

I asked his beautiful fiancรฉe for a percentage and she said 150% and while not logical, I think it answers your question. I'm only 100% according to mine.

Oh well, I had no desire to run a bed and breakfast, with or without Brendan.

Next time, ask his fiance what she thinks about a 50-year-old man who has a permanent hard on for the guy from Encino Man. ๐Ÿ˜˜

reply

Would that be you ?๎€ฆ
