The Mummy actor, who won an Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in The Whale, talked about how the big win has affected his career.
During his appearance at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, Fraser said, "The thing that has changed is now I have to work a little bit harder. I’ve got to feel like I still have a great deal to challenge me."
The actor, who is promoting his new film Rental Family, went on to explain the changing dynamics of how his work, saying, "I have to pay closer attention to finding material that’s innovative, new, interesting, unique, and diverse from whatever I did before so that I always feel like I’m learning something."
Fraser also talked about his new film saying that it made him rethink the concept of family and it is "gonna satisfy everyone’s need to feel like [they] belong somewhere in the world, even when they’re at their lowest."
"An American actor who struggles to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese 'rental family' agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers," it says.
"As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality," the synopsis adds. "Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging and the quiet beauty of human connection."
The Rental Family is slated for release on November 21, 2025.
