Why did Brendan Fraser not appear in many big-ticket films between the late 2000s and the late 2010s?

Brendan Fraser’s star power began to decline in the mid-2000s, which he thought might have been a result of his accusing Philip Berk, then president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), of sexual assault in 2003, which Berk denied. Although Fraser didn’t go public with his accusation until 2018, his representatives had asked the HFPA to have Beck send him a written apology after the incident, and Fraser notes that he was rarely invited to the annual Golden Globes award ceremony (which was hosted by the HFPA) after that. Fraser also was preoccupied with several personal issues during those years, including health problems—some of which stemmed from the physicality of his roles, leading to multiple surgeries; his 2007 split and subsequent divorce in 2009 from Afton Smith, whom he had married in 1998; and the death of his mother in 2016 after a lengthy battle with cancer.
