In 2000, Elizabeth Hurley was Bedazzled by Brendan Fraser. Now, 25 years later, they are still bedazzled by each other as they lend their voices to Tubi’s Breaking Bear.
In order to promote the upcoming animated series, the two actors were reunited at a press event. And they both look just as good now as they did then. Therefore, it makes it hard for me to believe that they made that film over a quarter of a century ago!
I am beginning to think they both made a pact with the Devil when they made that film about a deal with the Devil.
Before Brendan Fraser was an Oscar winner, he got his start in Child of Darkness, Child of Light. He looks the same now as he did when he was 21 in that 1991 movie.
Pauly Shore might’ve been the star of Encino Man, but it is his co-stars, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, who are nominated for Oscars this year.
How does the comedian feel about them being up for Oscar gold? “I’m very excited for my two costars from Encino Man; both nominated this year for Oscars. It’s quite remarkable. It’s an insane story. These guys — what a comeback. It’s almost like they were in Encino Man, they dethawed them, and they’re coming back to life, he told Good Morning America. “Congratulations, guys. Good luck, bros.”
Shore says he is going to watch the Oscars on Sunday to see if Quan wins Best Supporting Actor for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once and Fraser for Best Actor in The Whale.
Hopefully, they will each bring home an Oscar statuette and decide to make Encino Man 2 with Shore and past Oscar nominee Sean Astin. Maybe it will get The Weasle a nom from the Academy Awards so that he can have one like his co-stars.
Who would’ve thought that Encino Man would turn out so many people worthy of Oscars?
Encino Man was a fun movie. However, there was nothing Oscar-caliber about it.
Alas, that was 30 years ago, and today Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan found out that they are Oscar-worthy. Fraser is nominated for Best Lead Actor for The Whale, and Quan could take home Best Supporting Actor for Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Not bad for a defrosted caveman and a computer nerd!
They are not the only actors from the 1992 film to receive a nomination from the Academy Awards. Sean Astin was nominated in 1995 for Best Short Film, Live Action for Kangaroo Court.
How is Pauly Shore going to weasel his way into getting a nomination? We shall see!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always thought that Brendan Fraser’s last name was pronounced as Fray-zhur. And we were wrong.
Fraser told Adam Sandler during Variety’s Actors on Actors (which isn’t what I thought it was) that it is actually pronounced Fray-zer.
I don’t mean to insult him, but he can’t teach this old dog a new trick. So, I will keep saying his name incorrectly. Although, I will try to pronounce it as he pronounced it. Are you going to do the same?
