Brendan Fraser recalls being so 'starved of carbohydrates' while filming 'George of the Jungle' that he couldn't even remember his PIN because his brain was 'misfiring.'
issue, Fraser spoke with friend and former co-star Adam Sandler about nearly starving to portray the film's leading man.
But with that loincloth came an intense diet and training regimen that left Fraser so starved of carbohydrates that he forgot his own ATM PIN."I was waxed. Starved of carbohydrates. I would drive home after work and stop to get something to eat. I needed some cash one day, and I went to the ATM, and I couldn’t remember my PIN number because my brain was misfiring," he recalled. "Banging on the thing. I didn’t eat that night.
He continued,"And I really looked at what the Farrelly brothers did. I looked at what Mike Myers did, what Eddie Murphy did. That’s just in the last 20 years. Anything before then, it’s a cut-out silhouette of a costume that’s stuffed with batting, and it’s just an athletic actor inside the suit. And it was all in the service of a mean joke."
