"Perhaps there's only one person who can rival Keanu Reeves for the title of Hollywood's nicest actor. He could also easily win the award for most charismatic, effortlessly attractive, and for what some call having chemistry. Jeff Bridges, 75, the owner of all those attributes, was literally born in Hollywood and made his film debut as a baby, long before people talked about the privileges of nepobabies, which he's well aware of."
"Seventy-five years later, he's still going strong. He's just premiered Tron: Ares, a new installment of the classic he starred in in 1982, and continues to write music for his band, The Abiders. His long career includes hits in every genre, public acclaim, the affection of his colleagues (whom he often photographs with the Widelux camera he always carries with him on set), and critical recognition as well."
"Always chameleon-like and magnetic, whether in his sweet or tough-guy persona, Bridges is one of those actors you can't ignore even when he's in the background. And he's also humble despite his success. He never tries to impose his own opinion. You read what people are saying about your character. And then I count on the director to help me transcend myself. I don't have ideas. I do my best to hold the director's opinion above my own, he told Vanity Fair."
Jeff Bridges was born in Hollywood and made his film debut as a baby, acknowledging his early industry advantages. At 75 he premiered Tron: Ares and continues to write music for his band, The Abiders. His career spans hits across genres, public and critical acclaim, and strong colleague affection; he frequently photographs colleagues with a Widelux camera on set. Critics like Pauline Kael praised his natural, unselfconscious acting. Bridges remains chameleon-like and magnetic in varied roles, maintains humility, defers to directors' guidance, and has seen renewed attention through Tron promotion and partial return of The Dude.
