🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Brendan Fraser dives into Japanese culture with ‘Rental Family’

Actor Brendan Fraser had never heard of a Japanese 'rental family' service before working on the comedy-drama film 'Rental Family.'

In the film, Fraser portrays an actor named Phillip Vandarploeug, the only non-Japanese person at his 'rental family' workplace in Japan, who pretends to be a little girl’s real-life father to help her get into a prestigious school.

Phillip also takes on different roles playing husbands, fathers, best friends and even a journalist for a dried-up celebrity.
