Rachel Weisz 'really thrilled' about Brendan Fraser's Oscar win

The English actress told PORTER that she has enjoyed watching her The Mummy co-star's comeback and was pleased when he won the Best Actor Academy Award for The Whale in March. "I'm really, really thrilled for him... that he's had this new chapter. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer, nicer guy.". In the 1999 adventure film, Fraser played explorer Rick O'Connell alongside Weisz as librarian Evelyn, or Evy, his love interest. They reprised their roles for the 2001 sequel, The Mummy Returns, but only Fraser went back for 2008 threequel, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Weisz told the publication that she didn't realise how beloved the original movie is until quite recently
