10 Iconic Couples of the Golden Era Then and Now (5 of 6)

Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz — The Mummy, 1999

Almost every movie genre needs a power couple, and adventure flicks are not an exception. Fraser brings that goofy hero energy, while Weisz is the brains and the bravery. Together, they made ancient curses feel quite entertaining, but where are they now? Fraser made a huge comeback to acting, and he’s remained busy ever since. Meanwhile, Weisz is lined up for Netflix’s 2025 limited series adaptation of Vladimir, which hopefully isn’t about “poopoo” because that would be messed up. For those seeking nostalgia, we might see a reunion of Fraser and Weisz in a Mummy film in a few years, so stay tuned.

Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone — Basic Instinct, 1992

The 90s thrillers hit differently. Take this duo as an example, and you’ll see it filled with suspicion, manipulation, and mind games that keep the viewers watching. Today, you can watch Michael Douglas on Apple TV+’s 2024 miniseries Franklin as Benjamin Franklin. Meanwhile, Sharon Stone has been going back and forth between on-screen art and painting some actual masterpieces.
