Brendan Fraser details the harsh physical toll of filming The Mummy movies: 'Every morning I was putting myself together like a gladiator with muscle tape and ice packs, strapping on this Transformer-like exoskeleton just to get through the scene.”
Brendan Fraser details how his role in The Mummy franchise took a harsh physical toll on his body. Released in 1999, The Mummy sees Fraser playing adventurer Rick O'Connell, who teams up with Evelyn and Jonathan to defeat a resurrected ancient Egyptian Mummy. While earning somewhat mixed reviews from critics, the film was a hit at the box office and spawned a sequel in 2001 called The Mummy Returns.
“I got a little banged up from years of doing my own stunts and needed a surgical fix on the spine and the hinges. And that took a lot out of me. I knew I would get better, but it took a long time.
