#DwayneJohnson and #BrendanFraser spent most of their #ActorsOnActors conversation reflecting on how they’ve backed each other at pivotal moments in their careers. Fraser welcomed The Rock, then a WWE superstar with zero acting credits, into “The Mummy Returns” with open arms. “You took a risk on me,” Johnson says. “I want to thank you for really changing my life.” Years later, Johnson became one of the world’s most bankable movie stars, but Fraser looked to make a comeback with “The Whale” after a long hiatus from Hollywood. He calls Johnson a “godfather” behind the film’s success, which earned Fraser his first Oscar. Watch the full conversation on Variety’s YouTube channel or on the CNN app.
