Brendan Fraser's sons made a rare red carpet appearance with fans quick to spot a 'weird' detail following their recent outing.

The Whale actor, 57, attended the premiere of his brand-new film Pressure at AMC Lincoln Square 13 in New York City on Tuesday (26 May).

For the occasion, the Oscar-winning Hollywood A-lister brought along his children, Griffin Arthur Fraser, 23, and Leland Francis Fraser, 20.

Fraser shares both children with his ex-wife, actress Afton Smith, with whom he was married between 1998 and 2009. Together, the pair also share a third son, 21-year-old Holden Fletcher Fraser, who was not in attendance during yesterday's premiere.

All three donned coordinating olive colours for the event.

After catching light of the snaps, fans rushed to social media to share their elation over the family outing and hone in on one particular detail they noticed between the father-sons-trio.

One Reddit user penned: "Wow, it’s weird to see him look short since he’s 6’4."

"I also love how tall he is, and then his kids still manage to make him look shorter," agreed a second as a third gushed: "That is a handsome family, my goodness!"

A fourth chimed in: "Both of his sons are cool asf looking in their own way."

"They are both such handsome men!" agreed another.

And a final Redditor added: "They are all grown up now!"

Fraser is approximately 6 feet 2 inches, while his eldest son Griffin is 6 feet 5 inches, and his youngest Leland is 6 feet 3 inches.

Pressure, a war drama, features Fraser as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in the tense 72 hours before D-Day.

Set to hit our screens later this week (29 May), on the eve of the operation’s 82nd anniversary, the film also stars Fleabag's Andrew Scott as well as Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis and Chris Messina.

Filmmaker Anthony Maras assembled the group of actors for the project, with Fraser telling AP News: "I didn’t think I was an Ike Eisenhower when Anthony Maras sent me the script.

"I got on a Zoom call, and he said, 'You gotta do this, man.' Me? Why? 'It’s because he’s you, he’s like you. He’s just a regular guy.' Really? I mean, I thought Eisenhower was this, you know, stern, staunch, something on coin."

Speaking of the real-life character he took on, Fraser added: "He cared intensely for his troops.

"It was my responsibility to honour their memory and to comport myself in a way that puts a human face on the seemingly academic decisions that go into an operation as massive as this."
