Jeff bridges and he's here!
Come on out!
>> Hi!
>> You like my sweater?
>> Yes!
>> Great to see you.
>> All right.
>> Thank you so much.
Now, since we're with the dude,
it's only appropriate we have
white Russians.
>> Oh, look at you!
>> These are real deal too, by
the way.
>> Can I tell you something, you
know what was on TV the other
night and I stopped and watched,
"Against all odds."
Such a great movie.
That must have been so much fun.
>> Oh, that is a real one.
>> That is a real one.
We don't mess around here.
>> It is.
I just rewatched "Crazy heart"
with my husband.
When you stop at so you with
your wife and one of your old
movies comes on, what will stop
you?
>> Stop me from watching?
>> No, stop and make you watch.
>> I don't do that too much but
some of the them like "Lebowski"
that will -- I will say I will
just wait until he licks the
But I'm hooked and I'm gone.
>> Crazy you memgsed that
because Bradley cooper with lady
gaga, it seemed like he was
channeling your character a
little, right?
Did you feel that?
>> Yeah, that's a great -- a
great genre.
The music, it's great.
>> What do your grandkids call
you since you came out with the
dude?
>> Yeah, I was trying to figure
out what would I be called as a
grandfather?
And I thought ooh, I'm going to
go with dude-pa.
>> That's hip.
>> And then they shortened now
so I'm just dudy.
>> Dudy!
>> Dudy's good.
>> Dudy's not bad at all.
>> Mr. Bridges, your Instagram
description is actor, musician,
photographer, painter, sculptor,
campaigner for no kid,
storyteller.
Do you have a favorite?
>> Of those things?
>> Sure.
>> You know what's not on there
that comes to mind and is
popular profession now.
I like to think of myself as one
of these guys and maybe we all
are and it's a curious word,
influencer.
>> Yes!
>> Aren't we all influencers?
>> That's a career path for
young folks.
>> Yeah, yeah.
That reminds me of one of my
heroes in like is bucky four?
>> Bucky four?
>> He's a great inventor and
philosopher.
He's greatest invention was the
geoplas Mick domes, which you
see everywhere.
And he needed to know how to
turn these things.
So the engineers came up with a
great solution.
They put a little tiny rudder on
the big rudder.
The little rudder is called trim
tab and bucky said this is a
great metaphor for how the
individual are connected in our
society or culture, we're all
trim tabs or influencers.
>> I like that!
>> And we're connected, man!
>> Hey, raise a glass to this,
let's make a toast to the trim
tabs.
All connected.
>> So we can all take the world
to the place we want it to go!
>> This is so cool.
You know what else we love,
you're a photographer and your
love of this came back years
ago.
You have been taking pictures on
set.
What was the first set you took
pictures on?
>> I did a movie in '76 called
"King Kong."
And my character had a camera
around his neck all the time.
So I just loaded that thing and
took pictures.
>> That's convenient.
>> But then I started taking
pictures with this camera that
my wife gave me as a wedding
gift.
It's called a wide luxe.
And it's a panning still camera.
So it pans like this and I
started taking pictures with
that and making books for the
cast and crew during "Star man."
>> Wow, look at these.
That's you and Clooney.
>> No, that's just Clooney.
That's one of the things this
camera can do, it can put the
subject on one negative twice.
Any of your co-stars given you a
hard time about taking their pic
on set?
>> No, no.
You know when a lens is pointed
at you, something else kind of
shifts.
So I am respectful for that.
I kind -- I don't do it at
inappropriate times.
>> And your second book that's
out.
How did you choose what went in
there?
>> Well, all of the photographs
from volume one and volume two
are -- come from the smaller
books that I give as the cast
and crew of these movies.
This is Stan Winston's special
effects studio there.
During "Iron man" and there's
the "Iron man" suit.
>> Speaking of photos, we want
to talk about some of these
>> There's Tobey Maguire on the
first day of seabiscuit.
>> Oh, that's where it was.
Did we see one of "True grit"?
>> I have a big selfie one of me
and "True grit."
There it is.
>> A man with an eye patch, that
is just too much!
That is sexy right there!
>> Wow.
>> Talk about your wife too.
You have been married over 40
years, you and sue.
[Applause]
>> I met her many times on the
red carpet.
Is it true she turned you down
at the very beginning?
>> Absolutely.
>> You and I both!
>> You got turned down too, man.
>> What happened?
>> We were making a movie called
"Rancho deluxe" in Montana and a
little place called chico hot
springs.
I'm in the hot tub with Harry
scene Standen and Sam Waterston.
I'm looking across the pull
there.
I see this girl.
I can't take my eyes off her.
I don't know if she's a maid or
waitress or something.
She's gorgeous.
She has two black eyes and
broken nose.
And that juxtaposition, that
beauty and that disfigurement,
had me.
So I finally got up -- it's
tough asking girls out, don't
you think?
It's tough, man.
>> And you got the boys there.
>> Exactly.
>> I so went up and finally got
the nerve to ask her out.
Would you like to go out with
me?
No.
It's a small town.
Maybe we will see each other
around.
And that was true and we saw
each other at the wrap party.
And the rest is history.
>> What caused --
>> Car accident.
>> I had to ask.
That's a curious look to rock
there.
>> Should have seen the other
guy.
>> You also have this talent
that I don't know -- I didn't
know about it.
You're sort of a sleepmaker.
Your voice is very soothing.
Role this video that we have
right here.
.
>> That's amazing!
>> That's not a fake thing.
That was really happening.
>> I got a 3-month-old at home.
I can totally use that.
>> Yes!
>> Or give me a tape.
>> Scott, come on in.
We're going to do a game.
>> If you were just going to
read a couple lines.
>> You have scripts and stuff?
>> We thought we could really
use your help over here.
If you can just read -- you need
your glasses.
>> You're getting in the sleep
position.
>> Yes.
Dim the lights, everybody.
Here we go.
>> You will each get your own
custom made thing here.
>> So excited.
>> Scott!
>> I want you to know worry
about filling out your 2018
taxes.
There's always next year, Scott.
Relax, Scott.
And you, please --
>> Yes, come over.
Relax.
You still have seven minutes on
your parking meter.
Just relax.
And Mario?
>> Yes, sir.
>> Oh, Mario.
Relax.
>> I don't take it easy.

of bones to break.
Now sleep.
>> Thank you, Jeff bridges!
