The Red Notice actor shared the video with caption, “Very cool full circle moment here with my long time buddy Brendan Fraser and his sons.”

The Jungle Cruise actor concluded his post, “Now years later, Brendan wins his Oscar for BEST ACTOR in “The Whale” and I went on to become famous for wearing a fanny pack.

“Congratulations, brother - enjoy your flowers.”
