Brendan Fraser Apologizes To San Francisco For George Of The Jungle Incident
Brendan Fraser has been a busy guy lately, with projects like Doom Patrol and the recently-canceled Batgirl film, and his critically-acclaimed film The Whale. Fraser appeared at San Francisco’s Mill Valley Film Festival for a screening of The Whale, where he offered an apology to the city for something that happened long, long ago, the SFGate reports.

In 1997, the actor was filming a live-action adaptation of the 1960s animated show George of the Jungle.

That means Disney put a mannequin hanging by a parachute from the uprights,” Fraser explained. “It 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 [Bridge]. There’s this dummy parachutist hanging from it.”
