Actor Jeff Bridges returns to television, specifically to a series called The Old Man, with renewed energy and an unbeatable state of mind after having defeated the lymphoma that was diagnosed in October 2020.
It was in September when the legendary performer was able to give the good news to his followers, who will be able to see him very soon in the aforementioned Fox channel production, which addresses the changes that the protagonist experiences once it is confirmed that he suffers from Alzheimer's.
The first rounds of interviews and promotional meetings for the series have already begun, in which Bridges thanked his colleagues for facilitating his return to work.
"I feel great," said the former star of The Big Lebowski, before giving some details about a recording process that was also marked by stoppages and restrictive measures related to the coronavirus crisis.
"As far as I'm concerned, Fox and the entire team were very considerate of me and gave me all the time and support I needed to heal. The protocols back then, remember that we were still in the Covid period, made me feel very sure, looking forward to getting to work and having fun with it," he said in a virtual press conference.
Jeff Bridges is a highly acclaimed American actor known for his versatile talent, iconic roles, and enduring career in the entertainment industry. Born on December 4, 1949, in Los Angeles, California, he hails from a family deeply rooted in show business, with both his father, Lloyd Bridges, and his brother, Beau Bridges, being accomplished actors. Jeff Bridges has carved his own remarkable path in Hollywood, earning a reputation as one of the industry's most respected and beloved figures.
Bridges' career in acting began at a young age, with his first notable appearance in the film "The Last Picture Show" (1971), for which he received his first Academy Award nomination. However, it was his portrayal of The Dude, or Jeff Lebowski, in the cult classic "The Big Lebowski" (1998) that catapulted him to iconic status. His laid-back, slacker character in this Coen Brothers film became an enduring symbol of counter-culture and has garnered a dedicated fan base.
