Brendan Gets Politically Correct


Actor BRENDAN FRASER was worried about joining the West End cast of CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF because he would have to be politically incorrect. MUMMY RETURNS, the (2001) star battled with his conscience when he realised he would have to use derogatory words such as "nigger" when playing BRICK in the London production of the TENNESSEE WILLIAMS play.

He says, "I have a problem with the use of the n-word and the mention of child prostitution. That was a very jagged pill for me to swallow. " (ES/WNS/IG)
