Ke Huy Quan broke down during acceptance speech

Everything Everywhere All at Once star Ke Huy Quan won the Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor and gave an emotional acceptance speech that left many audience members in tears.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” the star started.

“I’m going to try real hard not to cry tonight. Ever since our movie came out, everyone has shown me such kindness that it’s hard not to get emotional – I’m so nervous!”

Quan added: “When I think about it, my comeback story could have been very different were it not for the critics.

“You’ve not only helped audiences find our little movie but you’ve helped audiences remember who I am.

“For that I am so grateful to you.”

Brendan Fraser’s past, continued

The actor revealed he had lasting injuries sustained while performing stunts in various films.

“By the time I did the third Mummy picture in China [in 2008], I was put together with tape and ice—just, like, really nerdy and fetishy about ice packs.

“Screw-cap ice packs and downhill-mountain-biking pads, ’cause they’re small and light and they can fit under your clothes. I was building an exoskeleton for myself daily,” he explained.

Brendan’s injuries led to many surgeries over the years, which included a partial knee replacement and a procedure to repair his vocal cords.

Another reason for him taking time off from the movies was a messy divorce in 2009 and his mother’s death in 2016.

Here’s what happened to Brendan Fraser

You’d be hard-pressed to find a film from the 90s and early 2000s that DIDN’T star Brendan Fraser in the leading role.

However, in 2003, the actor said he was taking a brief hiatus from Hollywood.

But this “short break” would see Brendan disappear from Tinsletown, with the actor’s fans wondering what happened to him.

In 2018, he spoke with GQ and revealed that he slowed down, and turned down later reboot offers for The Mummy and Journey to the Center of the Earth, due to his declining health.
