Andrew Scott hails ‘sweet’ co-star Brendan Fraser

Andrew Scott has heaped praise on Brendan Fraser, his Pressure co-star.

Andrew Scott thinks Brendan Fraser is the “sweetest person”.

The 49-year-old actor stars alongside Brendan, 57, in the new World War Two movie Pressure, and Andrew has admitted to being a huge fan of his co-star, observing that “everybody just loves him”.

Andrew – who also stars alongside Kerry Condon, Chris Messina, and Damian Lewis in the new movie – told People: “Oh, he’s the sweetest person.

“I think when people see Brendan Fraser, I think we just like him. Everybody just loves him. And we see him and we think, ‘Oh, I trust him.'”

In the movie, Andrew plays Stagg, a British Met Office meteorologist attached to the Royal Air Force, while Brendan portrays Dwight D. Eisenhower, the former US President who served as a General of the Army in World War Two.

Andrew noted that although their on-screen characters are “very different”, they are both “men of extreme integrity”.

Andrew also admitted to being wowed by the film’s script, and he jumped at the chance to star alongside Brendan in Pressure.

The movie star said: “You know, I don’t think you can make a great movie if you’ve got a mediocre script.

“I just don’t think it’s likely for me in some ways. So I’ve been doing lots of very different stuff, and that’s kind of the name of the game for me.”

Meanwhile, Brendan previously acknowledged that he’s open to making another movie in The Mummy franchise.

The Hollywood star plays adventurer and treasure hunter Rick O’Connell in the money-spinning film franchise, but he refused to reveal whether anything was in the works at the time.

He told Deadline: “Hey, anything’s possible at this point. It is speculation, and I would love to tell you … I would love to answer more about that. But my lips are kind of sealed.

“I am sorry, but I want you to know that there is a definite fan base.”

The George of the Jungle actor also reflected on the huge fanbase he’d amassed through The Mummy series.

Brendan – who starred alongside Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, and Arnold Vosloo in the original Mummy movie – said: “The fan convention that I just came from in Minnesota … We were there to sign autographs, meet fans, but we did have a question-answer on stage in front of 3,000 attendees and I thought we were rockstars too so much so like I walked off stage thinking, ‘Man I am gonna get a personality hangover out of those.’ That was a lot of love.”
