Brendan Fraser, a beloved Hollywood star, surprised fans by making a rare appearance at New York Fashion Week. The proud father attended the event to support his 20-year-old son, Holden, and fans were talking about one thing.

Brendan Fraser made a rare public appearance at New York Fashion Week to support his 20-year-old son, Holden. Holden walked the runway for the Todd Snyder Fall/Winter 2025 show, wearing a green coat, matching cardigan, white mesh shirt, gray pants, and black boots. Brendan, dressed in all black, watched proudly from the front row.

People reacted warmly to Brendan's support for his son. Fans found it heartwarming to see a proud father cheering on his child. One person commented on Instagram, "The way he’s trying not to go full excited parent when he’s recording is so sweet."

Fans also noticed some details in Brendan's behavior with a sense of humor, "Looks like a dad trying to support his child and act interested but really is completely confused with everything"

Another Brendan Fraser's son, Griffin, was diagnosed with autism at a very young age, and the actor's life hasn't been the same since.

Fraser admitted that discovering his firstborn's autism has been a huge challenge to overcome, and he described it as being ''hit with a baseball bat in the back of the side of the head.'' He explained, ''When I found out my kid's diagnosis at 22 or 24 months, I was crestfallen, to say the least.''

The actor added that his initial reaction was to ''blame'' himself, wondering if his genealogy was the reason behind his son's autism. However, he eventually learned that autism happens "for reasons unknown."

Brendan acknowledges that as a parent of a kid with autism, he is faced with constant challenges. He explained further that ''fighting with school boards'' was one of these hurdles.

The actor continued to admit that many people will also make life more complicated for these parents, but what matters is to stay positive. "You're going to encounter a lot of really colorful people, and how you navigate that comes down to how much you know that everything's going to be okay," the actor said.

Brendan Fraser and his wife went on to have 2 more sons together. And when asked if their separation affects Griffin, the actor noted that their sons will always come first.

''Who cares what our problems are with each other? That doesn't matter,'' Fraser explained. ''We do anything and everything in support of this boy's needs and his brothers'. That's what I was able to commit to in the most meaningful way.''

Fans were touched by Brendan's visible pride, reminding us of the importance of celebrating family milestones. Like Brendan, Colin Farrell has also shared his journey as a proud dad of a son with special needs, offering inspiration to many parents.
