Fraser, 53, who appears to be launching a full-fledged career comeback with his performance in the Darren Aronofsky-directed motion picture, donned a black suit with a white collared shirt with a black tie and brown shoes at the cinematic event.
Fraser’s performance as a morbidly-obese teacher named Charlie in the drama has garnered massive buzz, as he received an extended standing ovation following the film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month.
The latest: The Whale’s Brendan Fraser, 53, was seen emotionally embracing his costar Sadie Sink, 20, during entrances at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival Sunday
Fraser said on Sunday that his confidence is up amid the glowing reviews he’s received for his work in the forthcoming film
‘So often, I have just felt like a working actor who was glad to have a job: “What do you got? I’ll do it,”‘ he said, according to the Toronto Star. ‘And that’s a different guy than who I am right now.’
He added: ‘In recent years, when I was a bit more reticent to step forward – have a life with kids and an oldest son with special needs, another kid who’s going to be a senior now and another one who is [learning] to drive and he’s picking up guitar – I think it just gave me a sense of purpose that I don’t know that I would have appreciated as a younger man.’
The veteran actor had short brown locks as he was seen with Sink, who plays Ellie, the estranged daughter of his embattled character in the film.

Sink, 20, donned a red gown with her wavy red locks down and parted to the side as she posed for shots at the event in Canada.
Sink spoke to Collider about the role in June, saying that it was ‘just a really creatively fulfilling project to work on.’
The Stranger Things star added: ‘It was a really small cast and a small set, and we had a whole three weeks of rehearsal and Darren kind of wanted to treat it as if it were a play, because The Whale originally was a play.
