Yep, that’s right. Back in 2001, The Rock joined the cast of The Mummy Returns , the sequel film following the success of 1999 hit The Mummy , starring Brendan Fraser, of course.

Everyone and their mother was just so happy to see this courageous and talented man back on the big screen (where he BELONGS) getting the praise he so deserves.
Someone who was also happy to see Brendan being praised was his former costar, The Rock.
Retweeting the video, the actor wrote: “Man this makes me so happy to see this beautiful ovation for Brendan. He supported me coming into his Mummy Returns franchise for my first ever role, which kicked off my Hollywood career. Rooting for all your success brother and congrats to my bud Darren Aronofsky.”
