Jeff Bridges has appeared in many films over the last few decades but he said he’s usually recognized as one character in particular. He said he is best known for playing “The Dude” in the film The Big Lebowski.
Even though the film didn’t perform well at first, it has since become a cult classic. He also admitted that he always watches it whenever it is playing on television. Jeff explained, “When you get a great story, and you get a great director and a great cinematographer, the acting is decent, it all kind of comes together. That’s one of the few films that I see on TV I say, I’ll just watch a couple of scenes, and then I end up watching the whole damn thing.”
These days, Jeff is working on the show The Old Man. The second season is set to premiere sometime next year. He is grateful to be working again after getting through both cancer and COVID-19.
Jeff was treated for non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma back in 2020. After going through chemotherapy, he caught COVID-19 and said that he got very sick and almost died. After going into remission, Jeff said, “Shortly after finding out that good news, I got a letter from the treatment center where I was getting my chemo, and they told me that there was a possibility that I had been exposed to COVID. That meant me being in the hospital for five weeks, very close to, you know, kicking the bucket. I mean, I was very sick.”
Now, Jeff also works with the Up The Antibodies campaign to raise awareness that COVID-19 is still dangerous for immunocompromised people. He said, “I followed his [doctor’s] instruction and got my shots and off I went to promote my film and turns out I didn’t get COVID. Then I came back to Montana and my wife, turns out she had COVID, and I didn’t get it. So I figured, wow, this stuff, you know, this looks like this works. And to be a part of the campaign to turn other people on to this, I thought was a good thing to do.”
