Actor Brendan Fraser has said he will not attend Hollywood's Golden Globe Awards next year after accusing their former president of assaulting him.

The star, known for The Mummy movies, is tipped for awards success for his comeback film role in The Whale.

In 2018, he said Philip Berk, head of Golden Globes organising body the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, had groped his bottom in 2003.

"It's because of the history that I have with them. And my mother didn't raise a hypocrite.

You can call me a lot of things, but not that."
