"You got this," Key told Fraser. "Just know that the internet is so behind you. We're so supportive. There's so many people out there who love you, and we're rooting for you, and we can't wait to see what you do next."
Fraser then got a little teary-eyed before taking a sip of water to regain his composure.
The clip, which now has more than 400,000 likes on TikTok, ended with the actor tipping his cowboy hat to Key and saying, "Shucks, ma'am."
Reached by Insider, Key said she wasn't surprised the heartwarming video went viral.
"Fraser was such a huge part of our childhoods," she told Insider. "His movies were, and still are, loved by so many out there. And after all he has been through these past years, his fans are thrilled to see him happy and back to work."
The TikToker attributes her video's popularity to Fraser's "extremely loyal fan base and the sheer amount of people who want to see him succeed."
Fraser's starring roles include the '90s blockbusters "The Mummy" and "George of the Jungle" as well as "Encino Man," "Bedazzled," and "Journey to the Center of the Earth."
While he became a household name in the '90s, Fraser has kept a lower profile in recent years, appearing on shows such as "The Affair" and "Doom Patrol" and in Steven Soderbergh's crime thriller "No Sudden Move."
Along with "Killers of the Flower Moon," the actor is also starring in the coming comedy "Brothers."
