Brendan Fraser has issued an apology to the people of San Francisco after a stunt caused chaos in the city 25 years ago.
The beloved actor shared the comments during a red-carpet interview with SFGATE prior to the screening of his latest movie, The Whale, at the Mill Valley Film Festival.
The apology surrounding a baffling moment 25 years ago - during which, Fraser was filming the 1997 comedy George of the Jungle.
In the iconic Disney movie, Fraser plays a young Tarzan-like man named George who was raised in the Ugandan jungle and now serves as its protector. After coming into contact with other humans, George is taken to San Francisco, where much of the movie's events take place.
However, while filming one particular scene for the movie, the city of San Francisco was brought to a standstill - as Fraser explained: "I have almost an apology to make.
"When we were doing George of the Jungle, George goes to rescue a parachutist tangled in the Golden Gate Bridge. That means Disney put a mannequin hanging by a parachute from the uprights."
You can probably already see where this story is going...
Fraser, 53, continued: "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 Golden Gate Bridge. There's this dummy parachutist hanging from it. I had the TV on, and [The Oprah Winfrey Show] got interrupted because there was a special news report with helicopters saying a parachute is dangling on the bridge.
"And I'm going — wait a minute, I'm looking at the helicopters and TV — somebody didn't pull a permit, somebody's going to get in trouble with the mayor's office. So I can only apologize for that."
Relive the scene below:Fraser would go on to once again apologize for the incident again while receiving a lifetime achievement award from the Mill Valley Film Festival for his incredible acting career.
"I just want to make a quick apology," he told the crowd. "A couple years back I made a film called George of the Jungle..."
After once again recalling the mishap, Fraser said: "My bad, it won't happen again."
It's okay, Brendan - after 25 years, I'm sure it's all forgotten about.
Following the early screenings of Darren Aronofsky's The Whale, many critics are calling for Brendan Fraser - who stars as 600lb recluse Charlie - to recieve the Best Actor Academy Award for his performance.
The movie - which is Fraser's first big role in over a decade - marks the actor's return to the big screen after he spent years battling physical injuries and struggling with his own personal mental health.
"Fraser richly deserves to be nominated for a best actor Oscar," critic Nicholas Barber agreed in his review for Culture. Barber went on to note that the star's performance was doubly likely to be successful at awards shows because of the physical transformation Fraser underwent for it."
If anybody deserves it, it's Fraser!
