Actor Brendan Fraser was all smiles as he was spotted rocking Los Angeles Lakers pride leaving the gym earlier today. He should be smiling, the Lakers won last night in a triple overtime win!

Brendan Fraser has fought off mummies and survived an adventure to the center of the earth in 3-D, action-packed blockbusters. Now, he’s taking on the real-life role of John Crowley, a man who fought to save his young children from a terminal disease in Extraordinary Measures. Fraser, who is father to three boys – Griffin, 7, Holden, 5, and Leland, 3 – opened up to Parade about becoming emotionally involved in the true story, and being inspired by the heroic Crowley family.

On realizing he is very blessed: “My three sons are very healthy. John Crowley had two kids who certainly would not have lived past the age of four or six if it were not for his efforts to save their lives. So maybe, while doing the movie, I’d come home and hug my boys a little tighter. But I always hug and kiss them whether they like it or not. I’m like, ‘Come here, you,’ and you blow raspberries on them. That’s what I do.”

On doing anything for his kids: “It makes my heart stop beating for a moment to think it were true that my children might be in any kind of jeopardy. I mean, it really frightens me. Of course, I would do whatever it takes to save them. What parent wouldn’t? I’d throw myself in front of a train if I had to for their well being. That doesn’t mean you can protect them from everything, but you have to try. Harrison came up with an enduring line which his character says in this film, ‘Don’t hope for a miracle, make one,’ and that’s exactly what my character John Crowley did.”

Brendan Fraser’s turn in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor failed to shake The Dark Knight off the top spot in this week’s box office figures.

It was a third week at number one for the Batman movie, whose £4 million-plus takings were far above The Mummy’s £2.9 million takings.

In third place was the film version of the Mamma Mia! Musical which took £2.7 million, while animated summer smash Wall-E was fourth on £1.4 million.

There were new entries at numbers five and six thanks to teen dance movie Make It Happen and Bollywood’s Singh is King. The X Files, which was at four last week, slumped to tenth place.

It is the Dark Knight which continues to be successful, however, having already passed milestones like the $300 million faster than any film in history.

The Batman Begins sequel stars Christian Bale as the eponymous hero and Heath Ledger as The Joker. His performance is leading many to predict an unprecedented posthumous Oscar win, following his death from a drug overdose earlier this year.

Brendan Fraser’s height has left The Mummy star with a bad back and a stoop – because he’s forever trying to play small.

The six-foot-three star is an oddity in Hollywood, where so many leading men are short – and his efforts to fit in over the years have left him in pain.

He says, “I’ve always had a bit of a complex about being over 6-2. I’ve developed bad posture; I always try to become diminutive and stoop so as not to feel I’m dominating.”
