Brendan Fraser<\/a> made it a true family affair<\/a> as he stepped out with two of his rarely-seen sons at the New York premiere of his latest film Pressure.<\/p>\n

The Oscar-winning actor<\/a>, 57, was joined by Holden Fletcher Fraser, 21, and Leland Francis Fraser, 20, as the trio posed together on the red carpet at AMC Lincoln Square on May 26, instantly turning heads with their coordinated looks.<\/p>\n

Brendan looked effortlessly polished in an army green suit paired with a matching textured tie and pale shirt, while his sons complemented his ensemble in tonal olive and khaki button-down shirts styled with dark denim jeans. The coordinated fashion moment gave the family a relaxed yet sophisticated edge as they smiled for fans ahead of the screening.<\/p>\n

The appearance marked a rare public outing for Holden and Leland, who Brendan shares with his ex-wife, former actress Afton Smith. The former couple are also parents to eldest son Griffin Fraser, 23, who tends to stay out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to notice just how grown-up Brendan\u2019s sons looked, with many commenting on their striking resemblance to their famous father. Both Holden and Leland have followed creative paths of their own and are currently signed as models with Marilyn Agency.<\/p>\n

Holden is studying at New York University\u2019s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, while Leland previously studied drama at the Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, signalling that the Fraser family\u2019s artistic streak is continuing into the next generation.<\/p>\n

The family outing came in support of Brendan\u2019s latest project, Pressure, a gripping World War II thriller also starring Andrew Scott. Set during the tense lead-up to D-Day, the film tells the true story of the meteorologists tasked with predicting weather conditions for one of history\u2019s most significant military operations.<\/p>\n

While Holden and Leland are increasingly stepping into the entertainment and fashion worlds, Brendan has also spoken candidly in recent years about fatherhood and his close bond with eldest son Griffin, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of two.<\/p>\n

During an emotional appearance on SiriusXM\u2019s The Howard Stern Show, Brendan reflected on initially struggling with the diagnosis before ultimately embracing the experience with profound gratitude.<\/p>\n

“You blame yourself and you think, ‘my genealogy’ or ‘I smoked weed in college,'” he shared candidly. “You start blaming yourself over the reasons why. Then you learn quickly that I wouldn’t have any other way.”<\/p>\n

The George of the Jungle star also spoke warmly about Griffin\u2019s infectious spirit and sense of humour, revealing that one of his favourite things is watching his son laugh with complete joy.<\/p>\n

“I want to know what he thinks is so gut-bustingly funny all day long,” Brendan said. “In a genuine way, he’s cracking himself up.”<\/p>\n

After years away from the spotlight following deeply personal and professional struggles, Brendan has enjoyed a remarkable career resurgence in recent years, culminating in his Academy Award-winning performance in The Whale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brendan Fraser made it a true family affair as he stepped out with two of his rarely-seen sons…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471507,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[203642,203643,5932,93,360,203641,203639,61,60,203638,203640,203644],"class_list":["post-471506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-afton-smith","tag-arthur-fraser","tag-brendan-fraser","tag-entertainment","tag-getty-images","tag-griffin-fraser","tag-holden-fletcher-fraser","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-leland-francis-fraser","tag-new-york-premiere","tag-york-premiere"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
