What Happened To Brendan Fraser’s Eyes?

Brendan James Fraser, commonly known as Brendan Fraser, is an American-Canadian actor, voice-over artist, and producer back recently in The Whale. The audience is in love with his character in the film.

He had previously acted in films such as Blast from the Past, The Quiet American, George of the Jungle, The Affair, and many others.

Fraser, massively popular with his lead role as Rick O’Connell from The Mummy trilogy, was once hugely trolled with his image of red, teary eyes and “weird” hair. Let us know what the issue was with his eyes.

Brendan Fraser became the iconic meme with red teary eyes

It all started on Tumblr on December 12, 2014, when a user, Stargates, posted two edited photographs giving The Mummy Returns actor a bloodshot, teary eye, and DiGiannantonio’s hair.

The meme was widely spread on 4chan TV on February 16, 2015, with the words, “I-is he gonna make it?” People were entirely ready to embrace Fraser as a symbol of suffering by actively discussing what Fraser had been going through.

His memes and topic spread on Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube like fire.

On the bright side, groups on the internet also launched the ‘Save Brenden’ movement to bring him back to the silver screen. Approximately 53,000 people uploaded petitions for Fraser to hold an AMA.

On August 08, 2021, TikToker, @littlelottiecosply posted two interviews with the Inkheart actor writing ‘Proof that Brendan Fraser is purest of souls.’

Fraser’s eyes in the meme depicted his suffering

While the people were making memes with eyes portraying suffering, what were the reasons for Fragar’s sorrows?

In December 2007, the Texas Rising actor announced a divorce from his wife, Aston Smith, after nine years of marriage. The divorce turned out to be a costly endeavor for him as he had to pay his wife yearly alimony of $9 million yearly.

Later years were difficult for him; in 2010, he struggled for the roles since the second sequel of The Mummy. Also, in 2012, he injured his back doing a movie stunt.

Eventually, he petitioned the court about the alimony reduction in March 2013 as he could not keep up with the payments. And now we all know about the memes that have been made since 2014, probably due to these reasons.

The CQ magazine’s writer, Zach Baron, reported about the movie star in 2018. He mentioned Fraser’s being pale and a bit watery those days.

He also mentioned the interview Fraser was asked to give for AOL’s BUILD YouTube channel in 2016, where Fraser appeared sad and talked in a voice near a whisper as his mother had died just days earlier in the interview.

His sufferings hadn’t ended yet.

In 2018 the actor revealed he was abused by Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) ex-president Phillip Berk during an event in 2003. He was even blacklisted for making such a revelation.

Unveiling Ty Doran’s Sexuality — Is ‘Manifest’ Actor Gay?

Ty Doran, a talented actor known for his work in American Crime, recently joined season 4 of the hit series Manifest.

While he has captivated viewers with his role as Cal Stone in the series, he has garnered attention beyond his on-screen presence, with questions surrounding his sexuality.

Ty Doran is not gay — but supports the gay community

Doran is not gay, and his sexuality is straight. 

While the actor has mentioned he might have found inspiration from Harrison Poe, a gay former drag queen, and portrayed the younger brother of a gay character on-screen, it’s important to distinguish between his personal and professional lives. 

In an interview with The Kinkaid Falcon, Doran shed light on his portrayal of Peter Tanner in the series American Crime.

Peter Tanner attends a private high school where his older brother happens to be a member of the winning basketball team and is gay.

When discussing his role, Doran mentioned, “Without giving away too much, I’d like to think that we are similar in the way that I have a brother too, I happen to be the older brother… Peter is the younger brother.” 

However, the rising actor quickly clarified that he does not share Peter’s prejudices toward his older brother’s sexuality. 

Doran also expressed he strives to distance himself from any biases and prejudices portrayed by his character, highlighting his open-mindedness and acceptance in real life.

Ty Doran is dating his girlfriend, Harley Kirchhoff

Doran has been in a relationship with his girlfriend, Harley Kirchhoff, although the couple has chosen to keep their romance relatively private. 

On February 28, 2020, Doran made their relationship public by featuring his girlfriend for the first time on his Instagram.

Alongside two pictures, he wrote, “Thank you for always being willing to be sweaty, sandy, sunburnt, and smiley with me, even if you don’t show your teeth.”

Since then, Kirchhoff has often made appearances on Doran’s Instagram. For instance, on November 1, 2022, Doran shared several pictures of himself and his girlfriend, expressing his appreciation for their memorable weekend in New York. 

The most recent picture the Manifest actor posted featuring his girlfriend, Kirchhoff, dates back to March 15, 2023.  

Ty Doran started acting in the theater when he was 8

Doran told People that he first started acting in theater productions at the age of 8. He made his theater debut as a changeling child in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

After completing his studies at the esteemed Kinkaid School in Houston, Texas, Doran decided to explore on-camera work, which he described as a “whole different beast” compared to theater. 

Despite the new challenges and excitement of working in front of a camera, his passion for acting remained steadfast. 

The actor decided to further his education at Northwestern University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Theater in 2020.

Ty Doran followed his father’s path

Doran was born on October 29, 1997, in Houston, Texas, to his father, Justin Doran, and mother, Robin Schreyer Doran. 

His journey into acting was influenced by his father, who is also an actor and director. His very first role in A Midsummer Night’s Dream was under the direction of his dad.

Doran expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support he received from his parents as he pursued a career in acting via People.

His father would prepare him for auditions and shows, working on scenes together and even sharing the stage in productions. 

The father-son bond was boosted by their mutual love of theater and the arts, which also helped them better understand one another as artists.

Growing up, he had the company of two siblings: a brother named Jackson Doran and a sister named Caleigh Doran.

Racism is still rampant in the Hollywood industry.

Sean Blakemore Talks About Being A Black Actor In Hollywood

Racism is rampant to date despite people being aware of how wrong it is. 

Every single day we hear news about hatred and discrimination rooted in racism, especially against Black people. The Hollywood industry is no different. 

Many people of color have spoken up about being discriminated against in the industry. Recently, Sean Blakemore shared his experience about being a black actor in Hollywood and typecasting on the basis of race. 

He sat down with People in June 2023 and talked about the upcoming season of Cruel Summer. During the conversation, he revealed how he still needed to fight for opportunities in the entertainment industry.

Sean Blakemore on typecasting and Hollywood

Blakemore told People how people of color still had to fight for equal pay. Moreover, typecasting according to race was extremely prominent.

He pointed out how people of color do not have voice equality “to not play certain roles or be typecast in certain types of roles because we are beyond that.” “We are everything,” he asserted.

He shared the importance of being able to play various characters rather than being stereotyped. He gave an example of himself as a black actor and noted, “To be a diverse actor as an African American male — tall, I’m 6’1, 220 [pounds], dark skin — they can very easily want to lock you in the box.”

Unfortunately, because of typecasting based on race, Blakemore has to fight the stereotype. “And you have to fight that. And you have to make sure that you’re seen as a vast character, not just a strong image,” he said.

The actor hoped that typecasting would decrease in the future and that black actors could break stereotypes in Hollywood. He encouraged the audience to look beyond race since there were many layers he, as well as other people of color, possessed.

Blakemore emphasized being able to partake and play various characters that would not lock him inside a stereotype. He said, “So I’m not [just] a Black actor. I love being a Black man — let’s be clear — but I’m an actor, so it’s [more] about: ‘Can this person portray the role, period?’”

He understood that if race had something to do with a particular role, then it is understandable. But apart from that, people of color should not be forced into just playing a stereotypical role.

He claimed, “But even then, can he or she do the role? Because it should be based upon your skillset, not your skin tone.” All in all, Blakemore simply wants a safe space for people of different races in the Hollywood industry.

Sean Blakemore’s career

Blakemore is an American actor with a recurring role as Shawn Butler on the ABC daytime program General Hospital. He started playing the part on January 21, 2011. 

For his work on General Hospital, Blakemore was nominated in 2012 for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. He later won the award in 2016. 

He left the show in 2015, and later, he returned to it for guest appearances in November 2015 and April 2016. In April 2021, Blakemore reprised his role as Butler once more.

Blakemore has made an appearance in episodes of shows including ER, Monk, The Shield, Cold Case, NCIS, and Bones. In recognition of his depiction of Ric Jackson in the indie romance movie Big Ain’t Bad, he received the Auds award at the Hollywood Black Film Festival.

Additionally, Blakemore starred in the TV movies Motives 2: Retribution and Blackout as well as the 2002 movie Dahmer.

Sang Heon Lee On Filming Kissing Scenes In Front Of Sister

Ever since the premiere of XO, Kitty, the stars Sang Heon Lee and Gia Kim have gained quite a fanbase. This happened especially after it was revealed that they were siblings in real life.

The pair have delighted fans with their adorable moments together both on and off-screen. From various interviews and heartfelt birthday tributes featuring nostalgic photos to relatable carpool karaoke sessions — the two have shared a lot of moments with their fans and followers.

During those interviews, Lee and Kim showcased that they have a very close bond with each other. However, despite being close to each other, there are certain boundaries they are unwilling to cross, particularly in Lee’s case.

Recently, Lee candidly shared his most awkward and embarrassing experience on the set of XO, Kitty, and it all centered around his sister’s presence. During an interview with Netflix, the actor confessed that his sister being on set while he filmed a particular scene made him uncomfortable and cringe to an unimaginable extent.

Sang Heon Lee did not want his sister on-set 

When Lee had to do a kiss scene with Jocelyn Shelfo in XO, Kitty, he did not want his sister on set with him. He started, “I didn’t want her to be there, and, oh my gosh, it was just so awkward.”

Kim knew what her brother was about to say, so she started giggling and teasing Lee, who was cringing remembering the set and the scene. While filming his kiss scene with Shelfo, Lee saw Kim behind the DJ booth set.

He then asked her to go away while he filmed the scene, only for Kim to decline him. He said, “She was like, ‘No!’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean, no?! You want to see your brother kiss someone?’ I think that was my foremost awkward and embarrassing moment.”

Kim reassured her brother and confessed that she did not actually see him kiss Shelfo. Regardless, Lee was still awkward from the incident and said, “It’s just wrong, isn’t it? Yeah, like it was so awful.”

Gia then humorously responded, “It’s okay, darling. I have watched everything.” The video snippet was shared by Xo, Kitty’s Instagram account, @xokittynetflix.

Sang Heon Lee commented with facepalm emojis on a video of him and his sister.

They captioned the post, “Sang Heon Lee says filming the kissing scenes in front of his sister, Gia Kim, is his most embarrassing moment.” Lee took to comment to emphasize the discomfort he experienced using several facepalm emojis.

Sang Heon Lee and Gia Kim in ‘Xo, Kitty’

Lee and Kim’s role in Xo, Kitty is quite iconic. The two are not siblings on the show and do not interact much in the show.

Kim portrays Yuri, the It girl of the show. She is confident, well-dressed, and effortlessly elegant… even if she isn’t always permitted to be that person. 

Early in the first episode, we learn that Yuri is still grieving from her parents discovering a love relationship between her and her closest friend Juliana, which caused Juliana to switch schools. 

A devastated adolescent girl lurks underneath the confident veneer of Yuri. Lee’s character is no less than that of his sister.

He plays the role of Min Ho, who is like the “It boy.” He is somewhat of an arrogant schoolboy who ignores Kitty, claiming not to understand English.

But in reality, he is just a guy with a tough surface and a golden heart.
