Brendan Fraser becomes 'picky' on roles after Oscar win

Brendan Fraser said he currently has no work because he became choosy after the historic Oscar win.

Talking to journalist Hannah Storm at the Greenwich International Film Festival’s award ceremony, The Journey to the Center of the Earth actor opened up about his future roles in the offing.

“At the moment, I don’t have anything – I’m really being picky right now,” said Fraser.

The 54-year-old quipped that he had “read the trades the other day” and “apparently, I’m going to have to pick up a picket sign.”

“It might be a long summer,” he cheekily said, signalling to the Writers Guild of America strike.

Further, The Mummy star weighed in on Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon role.

“I will tell you that I’m excited to see it myself,” adding, “We were working in really hot weather in Oklahoma, and I can’t oversell my participation in this film because it’s epic.

There’s so many actors in this movie when you see it. I’ll arrive for a scene or two at the end,” he added.
