Brendan Fraser, the resurgent leading man who is a favorite to receive accolades this awards season for his performance in TheWhale, has pledged not to attend the Golden Globes, even if he’s nominated.
Part of the reason Fraser has appeared infrequently on the big screen — or, in his words, “retreated” — over the past two decades stems from the actor’s accusations that he was groped by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s then-president Philip Berk in 2003 .
“I have more history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than I have respect for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,” Fraserwhen asked whether he’d attend the Golden Globes. “No, I will not participate… It’s because of the history that I have with them. And my mother didn’t raise a hypocrite. You can call me a lot of things, but not that.”
Following an investigation by the HFPA in 2018 — which is when Fraser revealed his allegation against Berk — the organization deemed that while “Berk inappropriately touched Mr. Fraser, the evidence supports that it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.
