"I'm just glad that I have bragging rights to working with Bugs and Daffy"
About this Quote
There is a very particular kind of Hollywood flex that sounds like a shrug, and Brendan Fraser nails it. “Bragging rights” is the tell: he’s talking about prestige, but choosing the most disarming, least self-important language available. Not awards, not box office, not “legacy” - just the pure, child-brain thrill of proximity to icons. The line plays like a wink to the audience who grew up treating Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck as household gods, then became adults and had to pretend cartoons were “just” kids’ stuff.
The subtext is gratitude with a defensive edge. Fraser’s career has often been framed through sincerity and likability rather than cool-kid cynicism; this quote leans into that brand while quietly asserting status. Working with Bugs and Daffy (read: stepping into a cultural cathedral like Looney Tunes, via projects such as Looney Tunes: Back in Action) positions him inside a century-long entertainment lineage. He’s not bragging about acting opposite another star; he’s bragging about entering the shared memory of millions.
It also sidesteps the usual behind-the-scenes reality - voice actors, animation teams, corporate IP management - and instead preserves the fantasy that these characters are real colleagues. That choice matters. Fraser is selling wonder, and in an era where franchises often feel like spreadsheets, his “bragging rights” land as a reminder that some celebrity currency is still measured in joy, not domination.
