When he’s not starring in blockbuster films, Brendan Fraser takes his favorite role of being a devoted father. The Oscar-winning actor recently made a rare public appearance to support his 20-year-old son, Holden, who hit the runway for Todd Snyder at New York Fashion Week.
Fraser could hardly contain his excitement as he watched his son own the runway with confidence. Holden is the second-eldest child from Fraser’s previous marriage to Afton Smith, and he is carving out a name for himself in the modeling industry.

The recent fashion event was not Holden’s first time gracing a runway. He got signed with a New York Agency, Marilyn, which is a well-known name in the fashion industry. He made his catwalk debut in September 2023 at the Hermès’ autumn/winter ready-to-wear show.
With each appearance, Holden continues to build his modeling portfolio. After the show, he took to Instagram to express his gratitude, thanking the Todd Snyder team for the opportunity, adding that it was an honor to walk in the collection. “…Such an amazing team,” his caption read.
Are Brendan Fraser and his son close?
Fraser’s reaction at the fashion show was all the proof needed to see their strong father-and-son-bond. As models walked the runway, the actor’s expressions ranged from curiosity to amazement, and the moment Holden showed up in an olive green jacket, Fraser’s excitement peaked. He clapped, nodded approvingly, and even pulled the classic dad move of recording the moment on his phone.

Their close relationship has been evident over the years, although Fraser has tried to keep his personal life out of the public eye. They have attended several public events together, and Fraser has always remained protective of his children, including his oldest son, who is on the autism spectrum.
