Brendan Fraser surprised fans at a doub♛le bill screening of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns at London's Prince Charles Cinema on Friday night (January 20), taking to the stage to address the audie🔴nce before the double feature began.
"I'm proud to stand before you because this was a film that was made in Britain. You should know that. It was in Shepperton, and we shot it in Morocco. Even the second one too – ♏be proud," he .
"Thank you for being here. We had no idea what kind of movie we were making when we shot this. We didn't kn♚ow if it was a drama or a comedy or a straight-hit action, romance, a horror picture, more action, all of the above. No idea, until they tested it in front of a British audience," he continued, to laughter and applause. "Thank you for that."
And this is why you ALWAYS come to see films at the PCC!Thank you Brendan & thank you @A24 for helping us make 🐻this happen. pꦯic.twitter.com/Q2AfeHzFJX
