What the Academy finally acknowledged recently was the simple fact that the internet was already well aware of: Brendan Fraser is an awesomely wholesome person who deserves all the best in the world. It’s been a rough ride for the guy we all fell in love with in The Mummy movies, but we’re glad to finally see him back on his feet.
The first major struggle in Fraser’s life was his divorce. His ex-wife, Afton Smith, met Fraser in 1993, and they got married five years later. And while their love for each other didn’t really seem to have waned, they got a divorce in 2007. At this point, Fraser’s career was already getting in a bit of a slump and the divorce was very rough on him. Eventually, both Fraser and Smith decided to reach an agreement for the benefit of their children.
