41:13Now PlayingIn 'Rental Family,' Brendan Fraser plays a struggling American actor in Tokyo who takes an unexpected job with an agency that rents people out to fill voids, stand-in fathers, fake grooms, or dinner companions. Inspired by a real phenomenon in Japan, the role struck a surprising chord with him.
In this interview with co-host Tonya Mosley, Fraser opens up about losing his baby sister, growing up constantly on the move, being told in school that he "wasn't cut out" for certain paths, and finding acting almost by accident. He reflects on early career objectification, the physical toll of years of stunt work and surgeries, and the reality of still wrestling with self-doubt, even after winning an Oscar.
