It has been a decade since one of the biggest Hollywood stars of the 90s and early 2000s stepped away from the spotlight. Star of The Mummy, George of the Jungle and School Ties, Brendan Fraser has carved out an impressive acting career. So why did he recently slip out of the public eye? Let’s take a look at Brendan Fraser’s current situation.
Professional Setbacks
There have been a few professional setbacks in recent years. His struggles to nab leading roles in part contributed to Fraser’s slow withdrawal from the industry.

He recently discussed his self-care routine and the importance of it in maintaining a happy lifestyle. He states that there is always a need to take time away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood to recover and rebuild from the stress.
Where Is Brendan Now?
Famous for his charming and charismatic performances, the star of many of the best-known films of the 1990s, Fraser has kept relatively quiet in the years following his last film, Gimme Shelter, released in 2013.
Though he still remains active in the industry, his presence has been largely on television, appearing in small projects such as Condor and Texas Rising. Fraser no longer takes on titular or leading roles in film, yet his commitment to his craft remains.
What’s Next for Brendan Fraser?
Brendan Fraser is currently portraying Cedric Franklin in the Doom Patrol series on DC’s Titans TV universe. Fraser is also set to join the cast of the upcoming Trust Season 3, a series centered around the Getty family.
