For his part in Darren Aronofsky’s play Whale, he changed his appearance. The A24 film studio’s Twitter account posted the first image taken on the set.
The movie is a part of the 79th Venice International Film Festival’s official lineup, which runs from August 31 to September 10. The actor’s head is all that is visible in the opening photos from the filming, but it is already obvious that he has totally transformed into the main character, who is a foggy figure.
Keith narrates the tale of Charlie, a man who gained up to 270 kg as a result of binge eating and the breakup with his fiancée. Ellie, the protagonist’s 17-year-old daughter, is upset with him for betraying his family and the protagonist tries to mend fences with her.
Something must be there that we haven’t yet seen. I can only say that. Certainly, it falls short of all I’ve done in the past, but I’m not trying to be humble. I anticipate your admiration, he says.
It should be noted that Brendan Fraser has put on a lot of weight recently as a result of accidents and personal issues he had while filming The Mummy. This wasn’t always the case, though, since his superb shape throughout his formative years made many people envious.
The actor had an athletic build when he was younger.
Brendan Fraser had a weight problem and was in risk of quitting his job.
Consider the time in the actor’s life when there wasn’t much employment. He dove headfirst into each project and suffered major injuries on the third “Mummy” filming set, including a broken rib, an intervertebral disc rupture, knee, and voice cord damage. Up until 2015, Brendan spent a lot of time in the hospital to enhance his health. This is one of the factors contributing to the actor’s sudden weight gain, as was previously noted.
Dolly Parton sings The Beatles’ song “Let It Be” with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr — listen to it here!
After over 50 years in music, Dolly Parton is now a real rock star. The cherished country legend is finally putting out her long-awaited rock album called “Rockstar,” and she’s teaming up with some of the biggest names in music history to do it.
Dolly just released the latest single from her album, a cover of The Beatles’ timeless song “Let it Be.” Many have covered this beloved tune before, but this one is extra special because it features both living Beatles, Sirs Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr!
Few artists can bring together arguably the greatest band ever, but Dolly did it. Although Paul and Ringo have worked together occasionally, having them both on board is still a major achievement.

And if having two Beatles wasn’t enough, the song also includes Peter Frampton on guitar and Mick Fleetwood on drums, making it a truly star-studded recording.
The spiritual, gospel-inspired song is a great match for the 77-year-old country icon, and Dolly gives it her all in her performance — have a listen:
The song has received praise from both critics and fans of Dolly Parton and The Beatles.
One YouTube comment reads, “I got goosebumps from the first few words… by halfway through I was in tears! Thank you, Dolly, Paul, Ringo, and everyone involved in this incredible recording!”
Another comment says, “Great version of an iconic song by the legends themselves! A lively and powerful rendition. Thanks to all!!”
And another emotional comment reads, “No words… just tears… amazing… so much gratitude to these incredible legends for bringing this inspiring piece to a new generation. ‘Let it Be’ is exactly what this world needs right now.”

“Let it Be,” first released in 1970, remains one of the Beatles’ most cherished and inspiring songs. Although credited to Lennon-McCartney, Paul McCartney wrote it after dreaming about his mother, Mary Patricia McCartney, who passed away when he was 14.
Recorded during the band’s famous yet turbulent “Get Back” sessions, it served as the Beatles’ final single before their breakup in 1970. The song also lent its name to their last album, adding a bittersweet connection to the band’s farewell.
Dolly Parton’s album, Rockstar, is set to be released on November 17. She first hinted at making a rock album last year when she turned down her nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Dolly said she hadn’t “earned the right” to be inducted because she hadn’t made a rock & roll album yet.
“I hope the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and consider me again if I ever deserve it,” she wrote. “This has inspired me to finally make a rock ‘n’ roll album, which I’ve always wanted to do!” She also mentioned that her husband is a “total rock ‘n’ roll fan.”
Rockstar will have some new songs written by Dolly, but mostly it features covers of classic rock songs, often with the original artists joining in.
The track list includes:
- “Every Breath You Take” featuring Sting
- “Baby, I Love Your Way” with Peter Frampton
- “Heart of Glass” with Debbie Harry
- “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” with Elton John
- “Free Bird” with Lynyrd Skynyrd
Besides “Let It Be,” Dolly has released two other singles from the album: an original song called “World on Fire” and a cover of Queen’s “We Are the Champions”/“We Will Rock You,” which also promotes the 2024 Paris Olympics.
