Whole new level of respect for Adam Sandler, he pretty much allowed this to be about Brendan, who deserves everything that's coming his way. What a great friend

I grew up watching Brendan Fraser and one day, we just didn't see him in movies and shows anymore. I'm so glad to see him getting all the love he deserves.

The way Brendan says “I loved him” in reference to Chris Farley just about made me cry. He’s one of the purest souls in the film industry. I’m glad he took the time away he needed. Because we need him back now more than ever.

Hollywood literally broke his back, then his career, and eventually his spirit, but Brendan took those ten years to put his pieces back together and come out SWINGING! Love ya, big guy, and congrats on all your well deserved reprisal of success. 🙏

this is the one on one interview i never knew i needed. Brendan Fraser and Adam Sandler made our childhood fun with their movies.

19:00 "He doesn't play underdogs, he plays champions that are overlooked." That's a hell of a quote right there.

Brendan and Keanu are among those actors that a large majority root for because they so genuine, kind, and human.

It’s hard to understate how much of an affect these two had on me as a kid in the 90’s. They both gave me a place to escape in everyone of there movies from a very abusive home life. To see how cool they are in real life and how well they get along warms my heart

Brendan Fraser is Hollywood's gem, people need Fraser to be on screen and it's so nice to see that he still has friends in the industry that can make sure he stays on screen. He's just such a likable guy!

“ He doesn’t play underdogs , he plays champions that are overlooked “..and that my friends is the lesson of the day 📝 Amazing interview hands down 💯👏🏾

his voice is so broken I just tear up listening to him just talking casually... I grew up on mummy, journey to the center, inkheart and George of the jungle and love how people still love him and how warm we welcomed him back. he deserves all the love in the world

It's beautiful to see two old friends just clicking together. Much respect. Brendan's win was magnificent to see.

If Brendan and Keanu ever had a sit down I think we would just need to call it done with this whole internet thing. It couldn't be topped.

You can tell by how careful Brendan is showing his emotions and choosing his words that he was really hurting but gladly is starting to heal.

Seeing Brendan in this state is so fucking heart wrenching, man.. such a wonderful, caring, talented human being, and yet here he sits so fragile, vulnerable, and seemingly half the man he once was.. and Adam is a true legend, the way he read Brendan's needs and allowed this to be a trip down memory lane for Brendan was a fine example of what it means to be a friend; sure, the spotlight may be on you, but that doesn't mean that you're always the one who needs to shine. Much love to both of these incredible human beings, I'll forever hold them both to such high esteem, and this tête-à-tête is but a minor reason why.

Adam: Spanglish, Punch Drunk Love, 50 First Dates, The Wedding Singer. Brendan: Bedazzled, Blast from the Past, Airheads, The Mummy. You guys both have amazing movies.

The way he said “as long as they’re saying it” just hit hard. He seems so genuinely happy to be back where he belongs.

I have nothing but good wishes for these two-especially Brendan, who has remained so genuine and kind throughout incredible obstacles and abuses.

Brendan is such a beautiful person....

The way Brendan was talking about the movie The Whale, it clearly affected him deeply. It sounded like he was holding back tears and this makes me wanna watch this movie just because of how he connected with the character.

This is the first actors on actors that I watched in full and lost track of the time. Their chemistry as friends is so genuine.

"He doesn't play underdogs, he plays champions that are overlooked" Brendan just shifted my entire perspective on Adam Sandler's character career... Such a brilliant choice of words to perfectly describe something I'd never realized.

So glad Brendan is back and interviewing with people he is confortable with. Adam Sandler is an OG

Brendan brings a tear to my eye ... I've never been more happy for someone I will never meet.

We must protect these two men at all costs, absolute icons.

That’s an emotional man right there and I say that with nothing but respect and positivity. Fraser’s ability to allow his emotions show is such a huge part of why he’s so incredible on screen.

Adam Sandler needs to add Brendan to his roster of "friends I should call to do this comedy movie/vacation". Adam Sandler movies are so comfy, and I'd pay EXTRA to see one with Brendan Fraser in the cast

Brendan’s performance as Charlie is Best Actor worthy. I’ve missed him and thrilled that he’s getting the attention he deserves. He is such a positive and kind man.

Adam could definitely be a late night TV talk show host, I'd actually stay up and watch it full. This was a great interview.

Nothing warms my heart more than Brendan coming back from such a dark place to this confident soul.

Adam is a great friend. Brendan looks like he was deeply hurting but doing much better now. This was a cool interaction.

I love brendan fraser sooooo much❤❤❤😊

"He doesn't play underdogs he plays champions who are overlooked" Man that was a pretty badass quote.

I can totally buy in on the reality that Adam Sandler is an amazing talk show host. He needs his own Netflix special interviewing people. The guy is everywhere and knows everyone.

I am SO freakin grateful to have been a fly for this conversation. I mean really. These two are motion picture KINGS. And HUUUUMBLE... Humble humble humble!!! I adore them both. Truly truly.. every bit of both of their work!

This went by so quickly, I need hours of this stuff! 😂 Adam was so encouraging and gave Brenden the respect he absolutely deserves - and Brenden shines it right back on Adam. Wholesome, entertaining, and inspiring. I skip many One on One videos, but was quick to jump on this one when it was suggested to me, I’m so glad I did. Much love to both of these legends.

My admiration and respect for Adam Sandler has deepened. Been wanting to see this interview happen since the start of the Brenaissance and it’s amazing. Big kudos to Adam for letting the spotlight shine on Brendan- his loyalty and love for his friends is immeasurable. It’s so amazing and inspiring to see that when Brendan’s in the spotlight he always takes a chance to share the spotlight with others. It’s a true testament to his kind heart and loving soul. Let’s keep the era going and see more of the resurgence of Brendan Fraser

The magic is in his eyes, Brendan's eyes tell a story.

Dang Brendan is looking like he's getting back in shape! Let's get a Mummy 4!

Man, I can watch this for hours. It's insane how two long-time character actors walk into a room like they're old roommates.

I never thought in a million years I’d see Sandler and Fraser reminiscing about Airheads in 2022. Such an underrated comedy buried in the sands of time. One of best films ever to capture the spirit of metal as well.

Adam is such a sweetheart for giving Brendan the floor so much. These guys feel like such genuinely kind people

Man listening to Brendan speak about his “comeback” man I started to get choked up too. Grew up loving this guy so I’m really happy for him getting the recognition he deserves

Brendan is EXTRAORDINARY in this role. Just incredible.

There’s a really lovely bit in this, Sandler says “remember (Chris) Farley was in the movie?” and Fraser says “yes of course” but it’s the look he gives to Sandler as he says it, his look says “that was your best friend who we tragically lost, how could I forget!”. It’s subtle but so warm and genuine. Big fan of both these actors, nice to see em talking shop as old buddies

Damn, man. We all NEED a true friend in life with the moral compass Adam has. He goes out of his way to inject Farley into almost any/every conversation!!!!! The love he continues to have for Chris is beyond amazing. While I’m at it, this is such a rad clip. No bullshit, fake ass ass kissing. They care about each other and in today’s world(at least here in the US) it’s refreshing to see. Cheers, boys as well as anyone who reads this!!!!

Love the chemistry in this inteview, which is really more of a conversation between friends. The admiriation and mutual respect and love these two have for each other comes through. Both quality human beings in my book.

These guys have come a long way in their careers. I do remember seeing them both in "Airheads." Years later, they're both given high praise for their respective films, and still maintaining their friendship after all of these years. These guys are amazing actors in their own right.

When Brendan said "I loved him" when they were talking about Chris Farley made me well up. Amazing men and so happy we get to be a part of this

5:57 - When Brendan says "I loved him"....such honest sincerity. ♥💔😢😭

When Brendan talks about movies with his fam, the sadness disappears from his eyes. Bless him and Adam Sandler.

this is my first time seeing Fraser off screen and I honestly didn’t expect him to be so soft spoken.

Two real human beings operating in an industry sorely lacking humanity. Loved this interview.

What is truly heartening is knowing how many of Brendan's co-stars from The Rock to Adam Sandler to Elizabeth Hurley have all said how happy they are for Brendan's moment in the spotlight again, and all talking about how much of a nice guy he is.

I just saw “The Whale”. And it was a pretty good movie. Not exactly for me but Brendan absolutely killed it, so versatile and believable..along with a great supporting cast. Can’t wait to see more of his work. This dude deserves every bit of success that comes his way

I hope they hang out off camera too. Wish I could just give Brendan a hug and tell him I missed him and glad he is back on top.

18:58 "he doesn't play underdogs, he plays champions that are overlooked" and Adam's impressed reaction was fantastic. What a well worded sentence.

The fact that this is a dual interview, and Adam is putting all eyes and ears on Frasier. He is such a thoughtful and kind human. He isn't selfish or self centered. He builds people up. And that's so rare these days. Respect to both men. My parents actually got inspired to name me Brenan after Brendan Frasier. So thanks for that haha

I'm so glad Brendan is making a comeback. He deserves all the love coming his way.

Perfect pair to just conversate. This is beautiful bonding. I love them both. Love

5:56 That "I loved him" just hit hard man. It just sounded so real and heartfelt. So damn sad even after all these years.

As the world becomes darker, the character of good men shine brighter, and it’s a pleasure to hear Brendan Fraser speak.

It’s so good to see Brendan Fraser back in the spotlight. He was so so MISSED

Man, whenever Brendan Fraser talks I just swoon. He's so awesome! I'd love to see him do another mummy movie, but only with the original cast

Would love to see these two in a movie together again. All the love and support to Brendan

Brendan Fraser is one of the quintessential actors of my childhood. The Mummy, George of the Jungle, Bedazzled, School Ties, etc. Comedic/Dramatic powerhouse and it makes me so happy to see him getting all the praise he has deserved for the past 25 years.

Thank you Brendan and Adam for making us 90s kids so damn happy

Have always loved Adam Sandler as a human being, but my respect for him has gone through the roof. He has allowed this conversation be about Brendan Fraser’s renaissance and his incredible performance in The Whale. Brendan is the ultimate sweetheart and is one of the best actors in Hollywood.

The way Brendan talks about Chris Farley and said “I loved him @5:58, is the sweetest ode to him and knowing how close Sandler was to him. So tender and sweet and reassuring. Thank God he’s back.

I have always admired both of them. Adam does not get the level of respect he deserves to how much he means for directing/creating/producing/acting. His movies are the best combination of funny/silly/lessons learned. Brendan is just a walking ball of love. I love how they both show so much love and admiration for one another and try to put the shine on eachother. Loved this.

This is the most comfortable and happy I’ve seen of Brendan Fraser in an interview , you can see how much joy he gets from sandler

The mummy is a movie i will cherish my whole life. Absolutely love that movie.

"He doesn't play underdogs, he plays champions that are overlooked" - I had the same reaction as Sandler 😂

Brendan Fraser is a very precious human being, protect him at all costs. Also Adam Sandler is a beautiful soul, we love you both

How they talk about experiences they shared showed deep affection and very much brotherly love over the years. Very blessed to have such bonds.

I love how this video interview garnered 3M in a month. They just have a great friendship that spanned decades since the 90s! Love Brendan Fraser winning the award at the Critic's Choice Award for The Whale. Its only a matter of time until we see Adam win a major award and I want to watch his speech and his full circle journey. Both of these guys came a long way from where they started in this industry.

Dude i would be sobbing every 5 seconds if i was having a conversation with Brendan, everything he says clearly comes from his heart.

Whomever is responsible for arranging these interviews, definitely deserve salary raise! Two of my childhood icon in one interview. Two hilarious actors who are underrated in their dramatic roles!

These two were my childhood! I used to watch the mummy on a daily basis from 1st grade-5th grade I always wanted to be Rick O'Connell.

So glad to see Brendan getting back into the spot light he deserve!!! Grew up on the mummy franchise and so many other movies he's in. Your awesome 👌

You can tell how genuinely nice and caring Brendan Fraser is. The way he said he loved Farley and how he loved the time on Air Heads with Adam and everybody. So glad he is going better and back in the spotlight

How can you not be so happy for Brendan being back in the limelight? Watching Adam and Brendan together is like watching two old friends who are catching up after years of not talking or seeing one another due to life.

Two of the most respectful and beautiful people in Hollywood. Can't wait to see The Whale. Have been a fan of Brendan since Encino Man

How is it possible that Adam, giving Sir Frashyer 😉 so much room to speak...makes himself look like a really good guy. Hipe it's a real thing, he seems to legit adore Brendan. Probably one of my TOP favorite Variety chat. ❤️

2 wholesome, fun, playful and good-hearted men. A solid 10/10.

Really really super rooting for Brendan Fraser. I had no idea what he had been through. Loved him so much in School Ties and Gods and Monsters, and all his great comedy work. Super happy he's back!!! Such a generous, sweet, and articulate person! So so so so SO glad he's back. I hope he keeps going, gets all the recognition for his talent that he deserves, and that NO ONE ELSE WILL HURT HIM! EFFING PREDATORS! He's so brave! LOVE YOU MR. FRASER! I won't mispronounce your name anymore. Adam Sandler: LOVED you in Reign Over Me!

I love what everybody is doing for brendan. People who knew him well and those who worked with him in the past, made him feel welcome and reminded him that things and times may have gone by but the people are still there, you are not alone. The familiarity. That is what i get with what adam sandler is doing here.

Brendan saying that Adam plays "champions that are overlooked" and Adam responding with "Ooohh!!" That was so adorable!! Besides being SO talented, Adam and Brendan seem like genuinely cool guys! (BTW, thanks for fast forwarding through the obligatory questions and just having a very authentic, sincere conversation.)

The comeback of Brendan Fraser is what we all needed in Hollywood. Congrats 👏

Thank you, Adam Sandler for giving the floor to the wonderful Brendan Fraser. He's been purposefully sidelined for too long, denied a career and unfairly painted as difficult. He's a talented and genuinely good man who is finally seeing a career resurgence. He reminds me so much of Robin Williams in his introspection, observation of people and self-deprecation. He's capable of many more Oscars, given the opportunity. Hats off to you Adam. You're amazing in your own right. You've made millions of people laugh and here you are showing your big heart.

That "I loved him" at 5:57 absolutely killed me. Brendan is such a wholesome and soft-spoken dude. I hope that all the good he deserves comes to him. 🙏♥️

Brendan Fraser has immaculate vibes as a person. I just smile all the time looking at him. Man I wish this guy all the best. He deserves it! 👏🏻

Adam really loved Farley, what an amazing friendship he talks about Farley so often and never lets people forget him. If only people had friends like this guy the world would be a much better place.

2 of the most genuine and down to earth guys in Hollywood. You guys rock! And welcome back Mr. Fraser!

This is the sweetest chat I've ever witnessed

Brendan Fraser's willingness to be vulnerable and open is a *gift* to us all. What a wonderful man

Brendan is starting to look like his old self again, he looks great! I’m so stoked for him, he deserves this comeback!

Can you believe me that brendan was my childhood hero? i'm 30 years old i was watching his 90' early 2000 movies religiously. He is the part of the star wars 4/5/6 star trek new generation for me.. I loved his work and he is back so i'm glad for him

Both are sweethearts, they are what is good in Hollywood. I'm glad Brendan is back because he's an angel and a good person, talented and genuine.

i love the fact that Brendan wanted to talk about Punch Drunk Love. Absolutely one of my favorite Sandler movies. I think it really speaks about Fraser that he wants to talk about things that he knows mean a lot to other people and not so much what the audience "wants" to hear
