In 1997, when Brendan Fraser appeared in George of the Jungle, he rocked a shaggy Tarzan hair do as the clumsy vine-swinging human raised by apes.
More than 20 years later, he traded in his boyish good looks for his award-winning role in The Whale, where in the 2022 film, Fraser is completely transformed into an obese man with a receding hairline.
While the extra weight was the result of body prosthetics and movie magic, the Encino Man star has been very tight-lipped about speculations surrounding his thinning hair.
In an interview with People in January 2023, Fraser reflected on aging and his changing appearance, explaining that he’s “older now; I don’t look the way I did in those days, and I don’t necessarily want to.”
The father of three adds, “But I’ve made peace with who I am now.”
Dancing Stars
On September 21, the Doom Patrol actor was among the panelist of judges at the Dancing Stars of Greenwich charity dance-off, an event supporting Abilis, an organization that supports people with special needs.
The star of The Mummy franchise joined Tae Bo creator Billy Blanks Jr. as a celebrity judge at the event, held at the Tamarack Country Club in Greenwich, Connecticut. The evening featured a “Dancing with the Stars” competition, live music and a silent auction.
The 55-year-old actor, on the panel for his sixth straight year, was joined by his girlfriend Jeanne Moore, a Hollywood makeup artist and hairstylist.
On September 25th, Moore shared a social media post, with selected images of her and Fraser, along with others, through the evening.
She captions the post, “It’s sensational that the 6th Annual [Abilis] Dancing with the Stars raised over $160,000! Incredible job to everyone put it together!”
Fraser looked dapper in a sharp black suit that he paired with a white shirt while Moore, whom he started dating in 2002, was seen in a blue crochet gown that hugged her curves.
But it wasn’t Fraser’s attire that captured the attention of fans, who were surprised to see that he buzzed his hair.
