Brendan Fraser is opening up about his son Griffin. On Tuesday's episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the 56-year-old actor got emotional when talking about his son. He talked to host Kelly Clarkson about his upcoming short film that he executive produced called Saving Superman, which tells the story of a 57-year-old Chicago resident named Jonathan who is on the autism spectrum: "Each summer he wears his Superman costume, and he knows everything about Superman. His housing was being compromised. He was effectively not allowed to live in his apartment anymore. So he had friends, and the whole town rallied around him to support him having a lodging, a home." Such a heartwarming story! And it's very personal to Brendan, whose 23-year-old son is also autistic, like the subject of the film. He started choking up as he confessed: "I'm the dad of a son with special needs. I want to be part of it for that reason. We need to do well by everyone who has a family on the spectrum. We need more services available to them." Aww... You can just see the love and passion in his eyes for this subject. So sweet. Watch for yourself (below): This isn't the first time Brendan has opened up about his eldest son, who was diagnosed with autism as a toddler. In 2023, he did an interview with Howard Stern for SiriusXM where he really delved into his life with a son on the spectrum. He even opened up about meeting fans with autism at the time: "There's just people who are, for whatever their personal reasons are, really fulfilled or happy to make your acquaintance, if only for a few moments. And I find that really gratifying and affirming, and sometimes there are those who I can clock from across a convention room hall, who I can tell right away, 'He's on the spectrum'. You know that there's somebody who needs a little more love, a little more time because they're autistic or they have Aspergers, and this is their world. This is where they belong."

Because my oldest son is autistic, and I know how meaningful it is to their families and to them. It means a lot to feel like you can gratify someone just by showing up, it means a lot." Ugh, just when we thought we couldn't love this guy more!! Brendan then opened up more about the challenges that come with being the parent of a child with autism: "What can we do other than give ourselves a break and muddle our way through it together and do what works and do what works until it doesn't work anymore, and then find something new ... You will have to fight with school boards. Yes, there will be weird people that you meet along the way that have a completely different agenda compared to what the purpose of sending a kid to a special needs school is. You're going to encounter a lot of really colorful people, and how you navigate that comes down to how much you know that everything's going to be okay. You must believe that in spite of it." As for his own experience when he first learned of his son's diagnosis, The Mummy star said: When I found out my kid's diagnosis at 22 or 24 months, I was crestfallen, to say the least. The first reaction that I had was, 'I want to know how to fix this. What's the cure? What does this mean?' You're just hit with a baseball bat in the back of the side of the head. Like what? This isn't the way it's supposed to turn out. You blame yourself and you think, 'my genealogy or 'I smoked weed in college,' you start blaming yourself over the reasons why. It's like trying to get a straight answer out of a f**king leprechaun." He noted that medical professionals don't know what causes autism, but the diagnosis didn't change anything with the love he has for his boy: "Then you learn quickly that, I wouldn't have any other way. This kid has the most joy onboard of anyone I know, and he happens to be related to me as my son. I want to know what he thinks is so gut-bustingly funny all day long, in a genuine way, he's cracking himself up. He loves to go for a ride in the car. It doesn't matter where you're taking him. He would sit on, he would go on a big airplane and ride big commuter flights from here to Philly all day because that's what brings him joy." Aww! And while the Journey to the Center of the Earth star said Griffin's diagnosis did contribute to some of his marriage problems with his ex Afton Smith, they still do everything they can to support all three of their sons: Griffin, Holden, and Leland: "I paid more attention to my professional life than my personal one. That's just me. But with Griffin, all bets are off. Who cares what our problems are with each other? That doesn't matter. It's under a white flag, and we do anything and everything in support of this boy's needs and his brother's. That's what I was a
