Jeff Bridges hooked on The Big Lebowski

The 61-year-old has had enjoyed a hugely successful Hollywood career spanning four decades, and he was awarded the best actor Oscar at this year’s ceremony for his role in Crazy Heart.

His other hit movies include Iron Man, The Last Picture Show and The Fabulous Baker Boys, although he says whenever they appear on the small screen he usually avoids watching them the entire way through.

"I'm a clicker when it comes to my own movies on TV," he admitted.

However, there is one film he’s starred in that he can’t resist watching all the way through every time. The talented actor played Jeffrey Lebowski - The Dude in hit 1998 film The Big Lebowski, and he finds it fascinating to watch. Directed by the Coen brothers, the film tells a story of mistaken identity and saw Jeff receive high critical acclaim.

"I watch a couple of scenes then I'm clicking over again. But when it comes to Lebowsi, I start watching and then I'm hooked again. It sucks me in every time," he explained.
