Actor Brendan Fraser has claimed in court that he is too broke to pay $900,000 a year in alimony and child support to his ex-wife, Afton Smith.

The payments are for the support of their three children, aged 6, 8, and 10 years old.

Fraser has said that he is no longer earning the amount of money he did during the height of his career, when he starred in popular movies like The Mummy.

He is currently starring in some upcoming movies, but they are not expected to make him as wealthy as he once was.

Fraser’s ex-wife has accused him of hiding assets and has claimed that he has $24.7 million in assets.

In the original divorce settlement in 2009, Afton Smith alleged that Brendan Fraser had hidden $9 million in earnings from new movie contracts. She has expressed skepticism about Fraser’s claims that he is unable to pay the alimony and child support payments.

Fraser filed his claim in a Connecticut court, hoping to reduce the payments that he is required to make.

Court documents state that Fraser cannot afford the $900,000 a year payments because he no longer earns that kind of money.

According to a report in the New York Post, Fraser has said that he is broke and may have to give hand jobs in a McDonald’s bathroom for a McGriddle. However, this was likely an exaggerated expression of his financial difficulties.

Fraser’s situation highlights the issue of high child support payments in celebrity divorces.

While $75,000 a month may seem excessive to some, it is not uncommon for celebrities to pay large amounts of money for the support of their children.

Afton Smith’s lawyer has argued that the $900,000 a year payments are necessary for the welfare of the children, who are used to a certain standard of living.

Despite Fraser’s financial difficulties, he still has significant assets, including a mansion in Beverly Hills worth $4.5 million, which he purchased in 1996.

Fraser has been in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years and has worked on numerous television shows and movies, including the recent series Doom Patrol.

Fraser is not the first celebrity to face financial difficulties after a divorce. Other actors, including Johnny Depp and Nicolas Cage, have also struggled with debt and lawsuits in recent years.

High-profile divorces often involve complex financial arrangements and large sums of money, which can be difficult to manage.

Fraser’s case is still ongoing, and it is unclear what the final outcome will be.

However, it is clear that the issue of child support payments in celebrity divorces is a contentious and complex issue.

While some may argue that the payments are excessive, others believe that they are necessary for the welfare of the children involved.

Fraser has previously spoken about the difficulties he has faced in his personal life, including a painful divorce and health issues.

In a 2018 interview with GQ, he discussed how he had struggled with depression and anxiety after his divorce from Afton Smith.

Despite these challenges, Fraser has continued to work in the entertainment industry and has several upcoming projects in the works.

Fraser has also been vocal about his support for the #MeToo movement and has spoken publicly about the alleged sexual assault he experienced at the hands of former Hollywood Foreign Press Association president, Philip Berk.

Fraser’s courage in speaking out about his experience has been widely praised by his fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry.

Fraser’s financial struggles are a reminder that even celebrities can face financial difficulties and legal challenges.

While it may be easy to assume that celebrities have it all, they are still subject to the same challenges and problems that ordinary people face. Fraser’s case is a reminder that fame and fortune do not guarantee happiness or security.
