Brendan Fraser was floored by the Rage Sadie sink brought to the whale

In the interview with Variety, Brendan Fraser endlessly praises Sadie Sink's performance, saying:

"Sadie Sink has an incredible ability to focus her rage in a way that I've never seen in a young actor before. I had a front row seat to watch this kid come of age right there. I was constantly going on my lines because I would get lost in her big green eyes. It's like a beautiful volcanic fire that she focuses on. She was always winning the ball, every day."

Good Guy Brendan Fraser also gave props to director Darren Aronofsky and co-star Hong Chau while Adam Sandler tried to get him to brag about his impressive work in the film. As usual, Fraser diverts most of this and instead focuses on sharing credit and assuring the viewer that this film and his work should in no way be construed as "fat shaming." His transformation into a 600 lb. the man for this part isn't to poke fun at struggles with weight, but rather to humanize it.

When Fraser talks about all of this, it's clear that his heart is on his sleeve. Maybe for once the internet has gifted the crown of "Legit Good Guy" to the right person.
