Generate Title Heading on :Jeff Bridges’ colleague describes working with him during cancer diagnosis ⋆ Somag News without quotes

Few Hollywood celebrities are like their most iconic characters. However, when it comes to Jeff Bridges, he seems to bear a striking resemblance to one of his most beloved characters, The Dude from the Coen Brothers’ Big Lebowski, as he tends to go with the flow and play into his hands. passed The dude stays and so does Bridges. When the “Tron” actor announced in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with cancer, he did so in the most light-hearted way possible, quoting his character from Los Angeles, a lazy bowler, in a tweet. “As Dude would say… A new FUCK is born…”

Now one of Bridges’ co-stars in The Old Man, Amy Brenneman, spoke candidly about what it was like working with the actor as he simultaneously battled cancer and Covid-19 while simultaneously shooting their FX action film. Judge Amy alum told People that Bridges remained “alive” at the time of the diagnosis. The actress also says that the time spent with Bridges every minute for more than 60 days has changed her. Brenneman told the publication:

I was with Jeff Bridges every day for 60 days. I mean we literally haven’t played with anyone else and I’ve changed because of it. I was always with Jeff and… then he was diagnosed with cancer. Honestly, he was really awake during the cancer.

Brenneman added that Bridges kept in touch with her while he was being treated. According to the actress, the “Hell or High Water” actor called her when he was “high” on steroids he received during chemotherapy. Those calls, she said, are “sweet.” She added:

When he was high on steroids, he called me. I thought, are you in this part of the chemo cycle? How cute.

Amy Brenneman said things got much scarier after her friend and colleague contracted Covid-19 and had to battle two diagnoses at once, which Bridges has admitted in past interviews that the combination of chemotherapy and Covid almost killed him. The “Hit” actress added that her co-star’s “radio silence” in the film tells her how much he is fighting for his life. She said:

That’s where it’s at… because he’s a great communicator, I’m fighting for my life and he was.

Brenneman said he considers Bridges his role model and source of inspiration. She says that since he’s older than her but remains creative, she believes it’s a way to “make it” as an actor gets older. The actress added:

You look at people who are 15, 20 years old, who are still creative, who are still brilliant, and you go, that’s how it’s done.

We could all probably learn something from Jeff Bridges’ tenacity and excellent handling of life-threatening situations.

Two years after being diagnosed with lymphoma, Jeff Bridges has spoken out about his illness, saying the cancer is in remission. He also took the time to thank all of his co-stars on the film who provided their support and FX for “all the time” he needed to heal.

It’s a shame that Jeff Bridges had to face such a difficult diagnosis as cancer. However, it is amazing to hear that he is now in remission and has managed to maintain a positive mental attitude, which has undoubtedly allowed him to fight the disease and has even inspired fellow actors such as his co-star Amy Breneman.

You can see how 73 years old the actor still holds his own as an action star alongside Brenneman in their popular drama thriller The Old Man, which is now streaming to anyone with a Hulu subscription.
