Who could forget one of Brendan Fraser’s classics, George of the Jungle? The movie held similar elements and a familiar plotline like Disney’s Tarzan, after all, but with more dangerous stunts and was produced in live-action, with Batgirl and The Whale star Fraser as the titular character, George. At the Mill Valley Film Festival in California on October 13, while attending the screening of Darren Aronofsky's film, The Whale, he recalled the time they caused quite a ruckus shooting George of the Jungle.
Set and filmed in San Francisco, George of the Jungle had an iconic scene where Fraser (as George) was dangling from the top of the Bay Bridge (which he referenced as the Golden Gate Bridge). Watch the scene below:
Upon recalling that scene, Fraser prepares his apology.
Later on, during the introduction to the screening, the Mill Valley Film Festival featured a highlight reel of Fraser’s career to present him with a lifetime achievement award for acting. As Fraser received a small statue, he delivers a thank you, then retold the same George of the Jungle story, in honor of the film being part of his highlight reel.
