“It’s like the air is coming through a pipe”: these are Brendan Fraser’s children, to whom he dedicated his emotional words at the 2023 Oscars.

Brendan Fraser caressing the 2023 Oscar statuette was no surprise. The actor won over moviegoers with his performance in the movie ‘The Whale’, a performance that brought him out of obscurity and led him to shine again on the big screen.

In addition, Brendan starred in one of the most emotional moments of the 2023 Oscars, when he gave his words of thanks after receiving the coveted statuette.

“I thank the academy for this honor and our studio, A24, for making such a daring film. Thanks to Darren Aronofsky and Samuel D. Hunter for providing me with a lifeline. You took off your whale-sized hearts so we could see your souls,” the actor said.

Oscar 2023: who is Griffin Fraser, the ADD-obese son of Brendan Fraser who the actor sent an emotional message to when accepting the award?

In addition, the actor recalled how I started doing this job 30 years ago and things weren’t always easy, but I always had a certain ease that I didn’t appreciate enough at the time, until I stopped having it. It was as if I was on an expedition at the bottom of the ocean and the air was coming to me through a tube, which my children were guarding”.

Two of Brendan Fraser’s three sons joined him for dinner, and he rushed to hug them as soon as he heard his name as the winner. However, Griffin, who was absent, received a special “I love you” from his father, the actor confirmed.

This is the story of Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, who shared the set more than 30 years ago and are now Oscar winners.

Who are the children of Brendan Fraser

Back on stage, Brendan started talking more about his children, especially Griffin. Thus, the actor explained that it was his eldest son who inspired him for the main role in ‘Kit’.

“Griffin has special needs, he is autistic. He just turned 20 years old. He is a big boy. He’s five feet tall, he’s got a great body,” the performer said of his first-born child, according to Divinity.

Brendan Fraser’s first child was born in 2002, from the actor’s marriage to actress Afton Smith. Later, his other two children will be born: Holden and Leland, who stand out for their height and physical features.

Leland is the youngest, he is 16 years old and has long red hair, while Holden is 18 years old and has dark hair, but both have bright eyes and are focused on the modeling world.

Both of Brendan’s sons are part of the Marilyn agency. In addition, Leland is also a musician: he plays the guitar and is part of the band ‘The Alligators’. For his part, Griffin, unlike his brothers, did not want to appear in public and follow his father in this new adventure.
