I’m 42 years old, and getting in shape is more of an impossible dream than a reality. Between work, family, hobbies, and (let’s not deny it) wasting time endlessly scrolling through Instagram and TikTok, who has time to catch up on building muscles? Well, it seems that Brendan Fraser really wants to show us up, because at 57 years old, he is getting buff… among other things, because he gets paid for it.
What a mummy you are made of
The actor is already preparing for The Mummy 4, that movie they swore they would never make, then yes, then maybe, and now they finally promise it will delight the fans. The only problem is that Fraser is closer to retirement than to college, no matter how much he wants to take advantage and get in shape thanks to the good money from Hollywood. Frankly? I would too.
“What we are going to do is prepare ourselves, go back to the locations… I probably should stop talking about this because I don’t want to give everything away“, he confessed, while everyone at home hopes it won’t be a cash grab like most late sequels, but that it will actually have something to tell. In other words, that it will be like The Mummy Returns and not like The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Ew.
Come on, the actor has gone from being The Whale to becoming a sexy treasure hunter in a flash, or at least that’s what he hopes will happen: “Wish me luck, I’m doing everything I can to get this 57-year-old body in shape“. As someone who already goes “ouch” when getting up from the sofa, I can only wish you all the luck in the world, Brendan.

Latest from Randy Meeks
- The X-Men, Spider-Man, and the Avengers will have an unexpected new member: chef José Andrés. Yes, just as it sounds.
- DC’s latest ends with a record… a negative one. The studio is once again between a rock and a hard place even with its cheapest film.
- All that was missing was for Hideo Kojima to give his blessing to ‘Resident Evil’. He’s just done it: “I was shouting ‘Fuck!’ over and over again”
- We already know why Nicolas Cage won’t be returning to ‘Spider-noir’. It has to do with AI, of course.
