Brendan Fraser has made a rare red carpet-appearance with his partner, Jeanne Moore.

On Tuesday, the 53-year-old George of the Jungle star looked dapper in a black suit as he arrived for the UK premiere of his new movie, The Whale, on what was also the seventh day of the 66th BFI London Film Festival.

The actor was all smiles as he was accompanied by his partner, Jeanne Moore, at London's Royal Festival Hall.

This was just the second public appearance for Moore alongside Fraser, after she walked by his side at the Venice Film Festival just last month.

Jeanne looked glamorous in a royal blue-toned sleeveless gown that was decorated with sequined floral embellishments.

According to her website, Moore works as a hair and makeup article for the film and wedding industries - dividing her time between New York and Los Angeles. She is also trained in special effects and prosthetics makeup.

It is not known how long the couple has been together, but Moore is the first person Fraser has been open about being in a relationship with since his divorce from ex-wife Afton Smith.

Fraser and Smith originally married in 1998, and share three children together - Griffin, Holden, and Leland.

Earlier this week, Fraser also reunited with his former Bedazzled co-star, Elizabeth Hurley.

Bedazzled was directed by Harold Ramis and came as a modern remake of the 1967 British flick of the same name. The movie starred the Mummy actor as a lonely man who signs his soul over to the devil (Hurley) in exchange for seven wishes.

The pair posed for a photo after attending a screening of Darren Aronofsky's The Whale at The Ham Yard Hotel on October 10.

Fraser has repeatedly received critical acclaim for his role in The Whale, in which, he plays reclusive father Charlie, who is struggling with severe obesity while coming to terms with the death of his lover. Stranger Things star Sadie Sink plays Fraser's estranged daughter in the flick.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Fraser revealed that his performance in the movie was "all pedal and no gas", but admitted that he "wanted to know what he was capable of" when acting in a more visceral role.

As a result of this, Fraser told the magazine that he may never act in a role like this again, saying: "This may be the first and last time I ever do this again, so I gave it everything I've got. And I did. That's all I got."

And it certainly seems to be paying off, as many movie critics have already earmarked Fraser for next year's Academy Awards.

Writing for the BBC, Nicholas Barber titled his review of the movie: "The Whale review: 'Brendan Fraser deserves an Oscar'".

In her review, Barber adamantly writes: "Fraser richly deserves to be nominated for a best actor Oscar, and if that doesn't happen, I won't just eat my hat, I'll eat as many pizzas and cheese-and-meatball sandwiches as Charlie gets through in the film.

"The Brenaissance is here."

If anybody deserves it, it's Fraser!
