Caption: The wedding photo of Afton Smith and her then-husband Brendan. Afton Smith married American-Canadian actor Brendan Fraser in 1998 after dating him for four years.Their wedding was held at the garden of Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles.His uncle on his mother’s side, George Genereux, was the only Canadian competitor to come home with a gold medal from the 1952 Summer Olympics.At the time, Genereux was the youngest Olympic champion from Canada, and he held that distinction until the 2016 Summer Olympics.On Sunday morning (May 21, 2017) the American Sun-Times reported Brendan Fraser and girlfriend, to be shopping for engagement rings.
His mother, Carol, worked in sales, while his father, Peter, was a journalist who worked for Canada’s Government Office of Tourism as a foreign service officer.In his lineage Brendan also has German, Czech, Scottish, and Irish heritage.Not many can say that their uncle won an Olympic gold medal, but Brendan Fraser can. It wasn't that long ago when Brendan Fraser's headlining films racked up hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office.Now it seems like he's hardly able to solidify a role that actually comes to fruition.
