*Almost* is news?

Never heard of either I and cat 🐱 don’t care

Good thing he fucking didn't. Brendan Fraser IS the man.

Wouldn’t even need to add weight for the role

Why can't he just go away?

Where’s Ricky Gervais when you need him rickygervais

Bullet dodged.

He has been in that role his whole life.

Would’ve made a great whale

No prosthetics or fat suit needed…

He was also 'almost' Samwise Gamgee, so...

Don’t care don’t like that douch

Huge flex
