In one of the most unexpected movie comebacks ever, Brendan Fraser transformed into a morbidly obese man for The Whale that premiered at the Venice Film Festival Sunday (Sept 4) and made him an instant frontrunner for an Oscar.

One of the biggest names in Hollywood in the 1990s, Fraser starred in a string of family friendly blockbusters as a muscle-bound hunk in films like George Of The Jungle and The Mummy, before his cinema career fell off in the late 2000s.
