From The Mummy to The Whale: actor Brendan Fraser makes a rare public appearance ahead of his next movie, in which he plays a morbidly obese recluse.

The former action star of movies such as The Mummy trilogy (1999 to 2008) and George Of The Jungle (1997) wrapped filming on The Whale in April, in which he plays a 270kg man who is slowly eating himself to death following the death of his love.
