6 Things You May Not Know About "The Whale" Star Hong Chau

The hype surrounding Brendan Fraser amidst his "comeback" role in "The Whale" is strong, but Chau, who stars alongside Fraser in the film had actually never seen a single movie of his upon meeting him. "I had not seen a Brendan Fraser movie before, so I didn't have this buildup in my head about who he was," she revealed in an interview with Cosmopolitan. "He was so open and gentle and kind. We talked about our families for a bit, and I got to know him as a person . . . I see now, having gone to Venice with him, the outpouring of affection for him — it's really very touching. I'm so happy for him, it really couldn't happen to a better guy."
