However, the great absentee of the night will be the protagonist of “The Whale”, who has a powerful reason why he is not going to attend the famous gala, and here we will tell you.
Why isn’t Brendan Fraser going to the Golden Globes?
Since October 2018, the action movie star has revealed that he will not attend the award ceremony through the GQ Magazine, and this because of his accusation that Philip Berckformer president and member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, groped him at a 2003 lunch at a hotel in Beverly Hills.
“No, I’m not going to participate… It’s because of the history I have with them. And my mother did not raise a hypocrite. You can call me a lot of things, but not that,” Fraser told GQ in his new cover story.
Since then, the actor revealed that this was one of the reasons why he Beck made him retire from Hollywood, which at the same time made him feel as if something very valuable and important had been taken from him.
What happened to Brendan Fraser and Philip Beck?
As described in the interview with GQthat two years before becoming president of the powerful organization, the journalist approached him to greet him and took advantage of the crowd to pinch his behind and, later, used one of his fingers to touch the area between his testicles and his private parts.
For his part, the same communicator mentions this fact in his memoirs, but in those pages he indicated that it was a joke; Nevertheless, Fraser has a very different version:
“His left hand reaches out, grabs my buttock, and one of his fingers touches my perineum. And he starts to move it, ”the actor explained to the publication.
Like any victim of abuse, the actor confessed that at that moment panic invaded him and that his reaction was to take his hand away from Beck and leave the hotel without talking to anyone.
“It made me feel sick. I felt like a kid with a lump in my throat. I thought I was going to cry, ”explained the interpreter, who acknowledged that he was afraid to tell what happened at that moment due to the public’s reaction and to prevent it from marking his career.
According to the journalist, Fraser had made up the story, as the actor’s representatives demanded a written apology from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which Berk wrote: “My apology did not admit to doing anything wrong. It was the typical ‘if I’ve done something to upset Mr. Fraser, I didn’t mean to and I apologize.’
What is a fact is that it was one of the darkest passages of the actor, who saw his career almost buried by sinking into a deep depression: “It made me go back, it made me withdraw,” the actor confessed about that time in which he navigated an unbearable fragility.
