Known for his leading roles in comedies, dramatic films and blockbusters including “The Mummy” trilogy (1999–2008), actor Brendan Fraser, after his work began to slow in the late 2000s to mid-2010s, revitalized his career with an appearance in “The Whale” (2022) — earning him his first Golden Globe Award nomination. Fraser, when addressing his career path, said: “I’m starting to judge success by the time I have for myself, the time I spend with family and friends. My priorities aren’t amending — they’re shifting.”

Within the beverage industry, as COVID-19 brought heightened awareness of immune health and a shift toward self-care, interest in probiotic beverages has spiked considerably, experts note.
