–Brendan Fraser covers the December issue of GQ, the publication that made him go viral a few years ago when he talked about his exile from Hollywood and alleged that he was groped and assaulted by Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Philip Berk at a 2003 luncheon. He reunites with writer Zach Baron and talks about the impact of that article (“[When I was trending on Twitter] I was like, Oh, my God. Oh, fuck, what have I done now? And it was people saying they like me. And they referenced that piece. I was like, Is this good, is this problematic? I don’t know. What did I do to earn this?”), and what his comeback with The Whale means (“I don’t know if this is gonna give me some big redemption in my own life. I know that I’m proud of the work that I did, and it’s enough. It’ll live on long after me. And that’s good. The other stuff, maybe not so much. That’ll live on too, but…I think I just have to live for what’s happening for me now”).
