Brendan Fraser Eating Himself To Death

Brendan Fraser is worrying fans who fear the fading "Mummy" star —  having packed on as much as 100 extra pounds from his prime years — may be eating himself to death!

“Given that his height is six-foot-three, he looks to be about 275 pounds!” declared Dr. Stuart Fischer, author of "The Park Avenue Diet," who examined recent photos of the star obtained by The National ENQUIRER.

Fraser — mounting a comeback — has plum roles in two upcoming TV series: the FX drama "Trust" alongside Hilary Swank and Donald Sutherland, as well as the Canadian-produced "Condor."

Dr. Fischer warns a hardworking middle-aged man carrying all that extra weight is putting his health at risk. “The main danger for someone of his age gaining this much weight is the early development of arteriosclerosis and heart disease,” says Dr. Fischer, who has not treated Fraser.

“Arteriosclerosis is the accumulation of abnormal fat in the walls of arteries. This provokes inflammation that can lead to strokes or heart attacks," said Dr. Fischer. “He’s eating himself to death!”

Plus, says Fischer, it’s clear the divorced father of three isn’t getting the kind of exercise he needs to keep the chiseled physique he showed off in films like "George of the Jungle" (left) and "The Mummy" series. “Muscle turns to fat if you don’t work out, and that seems to be precisely the case here,” says Fischer.

“Being this obese leaves him at risk for at least 60 more illnesses — including multiple forms of cancer!” Luckily, there’s still time for Fraser to turn his health crisis around. “It’s never too late to get healthier,” says Fischer. “But he’s playing with a loaded gun!”
