Yesterday, Jeff Bridges hopped on Reddit for an hour to do an AMA, or “Ask Me Anything.” Unlike other celebrities that have participated in one of these forums, Bridges was open, thorough, and personable. He discussed everything from ignoring John Wayne to being afraid of working with Robin Williams, from peanut butter to the secret of a long marriage. And, of course, The Big Lebowski.
It seems like everyone who read this Q&A loves him more now. So we thought we’d share the highlights…which, if we’re honest, is almost everything he said….
