A movie\u2019s never going to solve anyone\u2019s problems, but it can possibly help influence the culture, how we think, how we feel, how we speak to one another \u2026 So I felt a moral obligation to give everything that I had,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne more quick thing \u2014 I just want to make a quick apology,\u201d Fraser told the audience, retelling the story he told SFGate on the red carpet. \u201cA couple years back I made a film called \u2018George of the Jungle\u2019 \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fraser went on to set the scene \u2014 a dramatic rescue atop the Bay Bridge (the outlet noted that Fraser mistakenly named the Golden Gate Bridge), performed by George.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we were doing \u2018George of the Jungle,\u2019 George goes to rescue a parachutist tangled in the Golden Gate Bridge. That means Disney put a mannequin hanging by a parachute from the uprights,\u201d Fraser explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt brought traffic to a standstill on either side of the bridge. My trailer was on the other side in a parking lot. I just remember watching the Golden Gate Bridge. There\u2019s this dummy parachutist hanging from it,\u201d Fraser continued. \u201cI had the TV on, and \u2018Oprah\u2019 got interrupted because there was a special news report with helicopters saying a parachute is dangling on the bridge. And I\u2019m going \u2014 wait a minute, I\u2019m looking at the helicopters and TV \u2014 somebody didn\u2019t pull a permit, somebody\u2019s going to get in trouble with the mayor\u2019s office. So I can only apologize for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, that said \u2014 my bad, it won\u2019t happen again,\u201d the actor laughed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See how the stunt turned out:<\/strong><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Brendan Fraser apologized to a San Francisco audience \u2014 25 years after the fact \u2014 for a movie stunt that had inadvertently caused chaos in the city, stopping traffic and even causing breaking news reports to pre-empt \u201cOprah.\u201d Fraser, who is perhaps best known for his turn opposite Rachel Weisz in the 1999 film &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1890404,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1700449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1700449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1700449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1700449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1890404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1700449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1700449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1700449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
