Brendan Fraser's Son Grew Up Outside the Spotlight – Now 20, He Has Long Red Hair, Tattoos, and a Passion for Music: Photos

Years after spending much of his childhood away from Hollywood, Brendan Fraser's youngest son has emerged with his own distinctive style and career interests. Readers can find photos of the 20-year-old at the end of the article.

Brendan Fraser spent decades as the recognizable face of movies including "The Mummy," but his three children largely experienced their younger years away from the same level of public attention.

As they grew older, however, two of his sons occasionally stepped into the spotlight alongside their father, including his youngest, Leland Francis Fraser.

Brendan shares Leland and his older brothers, Griffin Arthur Fraser and Holden Fletcher Fraser, with his ex-wife, Afton Smith. The former couple met in 1993 and married on September 27, 1998, before welcoming Griffin in 2002, Holden in 2004, and Leland in 2006.

Brendan and Afton separated in December 2007 and continued co-parenting their three sons after the end of their marriage. Although their children generally remained outside the public eye, Leland and Holden began making some notable appearances in support of their father as adults.

One of those occasions came in November 2022, when the brothers accompanied Brendan to a screening of "The Whale." The film became a major chapter in the actor's career, and his sons were also present as its awards-season run reached Hollywood's biggest stage.

In March 2023, Leland and Holden joined their father at the Academy Awards, where Brendan won Best Actor for his performance in "The Whale." During his acceptance speech, he acknowledged all three of his boys.

Those appearances offered glimpses of Leland as he moved into adulthood, but he did not simply follow his parents' paths into acting. Instead, he pursued interests in modeling and music.

Leland signed with the Marilyn Agency in New York, marking his move into professional modeling. Away from that work, he also developed his musical interests as a guitarist and singer for the band The Alligators.

His appearance has become equally distinctive. Recent photos show the 20-year-old with long, vivid red hair while tattoos cover parts of his arms.

His wardrobe frequently leans toward a rock-inspired aesthetic, with sleeveless graphic shirts, dark jeans, belts, jewelry, and other accessories forming part of his look. The same aesthetic carries naturally into his work as a musician.

Images of Leland performing show him playing the electric guitar onstage, his long red hair and tattooed arms complementing the visual identity seen in his offstage photos. But even as Leland developed those interests, he continued appearing beside his father for significant career moments.

More than three years after supporting Brendan during the release and awards run of "The Whale," he and Holden accompanied him to another film premiere.

On May 26, 2026, the brothers attended the New York City premiere of Brendan's film "Pressure" at AMC Lincoln Square 13. The family coordinated their outfits for the occasion, with Brendan standing between his sons in an olive suit and matching tie over a light-colored shirt.

Leland and Holden complemented their father's look in dark pants and olive long-sleeved button-down shirts. The appearance was another rare public outing for the siblings, who had generally kept a lower profile but had joined Brendan for several important moments in his career.

By then, Leland was 20 and had begun establishing a public identity separate from the Hollywood career that made his father famous. Modeling placed him in front of the camera, while his role with The Alligators gave him a different kind of stage, with guitar and vocals at the center of his work.

Leland's occasional public appearances have documented his transition into adulthood while showing the different creative direction he chose to pursue. Photos of Brendan's youngest son and his distinctive look can be found below.
