Dwayne Johnson Praised Brendan Fraser For Kicking Off His Acting Career, After "The Whale" Actor Received A Standing Ovation In Venice

The standing ovation for #TheWhale was so enthusiastic, Brendan Fraser tried to leave the theater but the crowd's applause made him stay. #Venezia79

Man this makes me so happy to see this beautiful ovation for Brendan. He supported me coming into his Mummy Returns franchise for my first ever role, which kicked off my Hollywood career. Rooting for all your success brother and congrats to my bud Darren Aronofsky. #TheWhale ???? https://t.co/SNBLPHHmEZ
