Brendan Fraser Says Self-Doubt Lingers After Oscar, Finds Reset in Tokyo Film 'Rental Family'

Fraser calls Hikari’s Tokyo-set Rental Family a personal reset away from Hollywood.

Overview

  • In a new interview cited by the Associated Press, Fraser says he still struggles with confidence and often feels “not good enough” despite his 2023 Best Actor win.
  • He recalls Lorne Michaels once telling him “it’s all about confidence,” advice he continues to wrestle with.
  • Fraser stars as an American actor taking odd jobs in Tokyo in Hikari’s Rental Family, which is in theaters now with Mari Yamamoto, Takehiro Hira, Shannon Mahina Gorman and Akira Emoto.
  • He says stepping away to work in Japan was what he needed personally, describing it as time to remove himself from Hollywood for a while.
  • Looking ahead, Fraser is set to play Dwight D. Eisenhower in the war drama Pressure and to return to The Mummy franchise.
