Brendan Fraser's "personal website" keeps going viral, but the site doesn't actually belong to the actor.

"It's here! Welcome to brendanfraser.com," the site's "Curiosities" section reads. "This is the website that Brendan Fraser (and his hip friends) built."

The note goes on to say that the site is "a haven for any leftover creative energy and maybe a factoid or kudos for you."

Also included on the outdated site are links to now-defunct anime and street style pages, photos purportedly taken by Fraser, a partially-completed biography, and a timeline of Fraser's film and TV credits from 1991 to 2001.

Most of the additions to the Fraser website appear to have been completed in 2001, but the last update is from 2005, when an unknown admin shared an announcement about a photography exhibition the actor was participating in.

But representatives for Fraser confirmed to Insider that the site isn't actually his - meaning that the site's true owner is a mystery.

After starring in numerous movies during the late '90s and early 2000s, Fraser has been enjoying something of a resurgence in recent months.

In August, the "Mummy" star fought back tears after learning from a TikToker that "so many" people on the internet were "rooting" for him.

When asked about his role in the upcoming Martin Scorsese film "Killers of the Flower Moon" by cosplayer Lindley Key (who goes by @LittleLottieCosplay on TikTok), Fraser revealed he was a "little anxious" about working with the acclaimed director, and costars Robert de Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio.

"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.
