he had stayed out of the spotlight for the last few years. However, his return can be classified as truly spectacular.

Oscars 2023. Brendan Fraser the best actor

It must have been no different during . Brendan Fraser left the 95th gala with the statuette for the best actor in a leading role. In turn, the creators of “Wieloryb” were awarded for the best make-up and hairstyles.

Although Fraser gained weight specifically for the role of a nearly 300 kg teacher with an eating disorder, it was not enough to show the scale of the character’s problem.

A team of makeup artists led by prosthetic designer Adrien Morot managed to achieve the desired goal – the most natural look possible. Just transforming Brendon Fraser into Charlie, including the costume and make-up, took six hours a day. The creators admit that the process was shortened by two hours during the shooting.

This movie is about Charlie and his relationship with his daughter. That’s what it’s really about. Make-up must not distract from this, regardless of how the character looks on screen. So how do you create a character like Charlie without making him look cartoonish? It was about finding the right balance so that the viewer would think, Oh God, it’s Brendan Fraser. And then he forgot about it, because that’s how you get involved in the plot of the film – told Variety.
