Nah. It's actually based on a guy that the Coen Brothers are friends with in LA. There's a documentary about him. Most of the characters in that movie are based on their friends.
+Evan Fowler yeah, based on hollywood-musician-artsy-wait-... same crowd- ...ever wonder if, with the casting,... and the... wait. if you pulled the mask off the dude, its still the dude. only the names have been changed to protect the mystery.

"Is there anything you do that's _not_ cool?" "I've been known to play a little accordion. _I_ like it, but I'm given to understand it's kind of dorky."
Jeff met his wife in the 70's. She was a small town girl (ironically, she worked at a "*_dude_* ranch). She initially turned him down when he asked her out. He couldn't get her out of his mind, and he finally got her to dance, and they lived happily ever after (I think. I don't read the tabloids - lol). About 10 years after they were married, one of the crew sent him a couple of pics taken just for fun and memories, not the set-up photos that are often taken on sets. They turned out to be the very first moment that he talked to his wife for the first time. He carries them in his wallet. I seen him tell the story about 10 years ago on some talk show, and I know that he again pulled out the pics and told the story again a couple of years ago. The more recent can be found on youtube, but I don't remember what channel or the name of the video ( I was trying to find the story that I had seen just to show my wife). The Bridges family (dad and Beau included) seem really down to earth for a family of celebrities.
Same here. I LOVE that film! He is such a great actor and a very good man. Jeff is an actor married to the same wife for decades.That is a rarity in Hollywood. I have so much respect for this man.
Stephen had to end it right when he did, or The Dude was going to kiss him. Bridges goes all out, and I abide. Sadly, if it had happened, the internet would have exploded in awesomeness.
Well, this explains why his character on Tron Legacy was way more Zen than he had any right to be, it's a compromise between the character and the actor: Chill Jeff! Don't mess with his Zen thing, man!
Jeff Bridges almost always seems to be in character. So, even back in the 80's I've always regarded him as a consummate actor. Regardless of the types of roles he portrays he's always been able to disappear into them as if he's always been that way. For any aspiring actor, the work this guy has done since back then is worth noting.
Part of me wants to grow up like Eastwood- grizzled, tough, like an whiskey infused stump of wood-- but part of me really wants to be Bridges-- chilled out, level hearted, like a stoned throw rug
The interview was just warming up, there was real chemistry, you can tell Mr. Bridges enjoyed Mr. Colbert's humour. Why spend only less than 8 minutes interviewing the dude, man?
It's good knowing he's out there. The Dude, takin 'er easy for all us sinners.
Bobbybobob i dunno About you. But i take comfort in that.
Dude, I'm on my way for my first bathrobe, man..
I love Jeff Bridges so much. He has just straight up become The Dude, at this point.
Yea, I think the part of "The Dude" was written around and loosely based on him to begin with, lol. Art imitating life.

Based on Jeff Dowd.
His laugh is adorable
weirdly childish
looks like an old miner of old west that ends broke but still can laughs about
read his book the zen master and you will understand that he is not the type of person who takes life seriously.
Sounds fake a fuck to me and therefore the opposite of adorable.
+Emily Rose anyone caught up in the lie will perceive the truth as a lie. the only truth is impernanace, and nothing impernanant cant be taken seriously, therefore nothing concrete can stand. thank you for reminding me.
Never saw an interview of him before.
Truly a delightful man with the most adorable laugh.
Right??
Dude, duder, his dudeness :) el duderino!!
what? ..are you doing here :D happy flying.. the world is a small place Dnhug
@PacTheOne indeed lol ! One of my fav movies! Have a great day mate, cheers to you!
No one calls me Lebowski. I'm the Dude man.
He really has beautiful hair!
Keybraker Thicc af
Gorgeous hair!
One of my favorite things I have ever seen. He certainly abides!
And Mr. Bridges has been involved in small town plays in Chelsea Michigan.....
David Hollenshead You're thinking of Jeff Daniels.
Jeff Bridges is literally the dude 😂
Imightbedaanika HEY Youre DUDERAILLA-ness!
That's like your opinion maaan
gross.......
The dude of box of scraps
His giggle, wow
His giggle makes me inordinately happy.
Edit: was not ready for that ending. Incredible.
god, the dude is just always abiding.
He does have a certain... je ne sais quois...
Don't fuck with the Jesus.
"Is there anything you do that's _not_ cool?"
"I've been known to play a little accordion. _I_ like it, but I'm given to understand it's kind of dorky."
watch what you say about Weird Al
How little is it?
Not when Jeff Bridges does it!
Instantly made accordian cool
HAHAHA When Stephen lost his shit at the end! 😂 Jeff Bridges is so precious and he needs to live forever as everyone's zen grandpa.
His laugh's the best!
The dudes laugh is gold 😂
How can someone be that freakin lovely.

He's like a Buddhist version of a Wild West old-timer.
girlzeyeview I'd definitely watch a spoof Western with a Buddhist protagonist, starring Jeff Bridges 😂😂😂
Difference between him and a hobo is the money.
Perhaps. But that shows his humility in a way. He doesn't need to be flamboyant or extravagant, and I respect that.
he actually does practise budhism.
Tao and the art of wearing Stetsons.
That clay really tied the interview together.
Hey Frank I see what u did there XD
👏😆
Jeff Bridges` laugh is epic!! Eheehee 😂
"[2017] might be the least chill year of my lifetime"
Me: *laughs/cries hysterically in 2020*
Aaaand how are you Now, dude?
"This aggression will not stand man!"
Stephen has received the rare honour of being hugged from behind while Jeff Bridges whispers, "penetration".
his voice is so relaxing lol.
I fell in love with him in Starman, but he will always be The Dude.
Rogue Les my mom loved Starman when I was growing up. I never hear or see anything about it. It was a pretty good movie.
The last picture show ! Most amazing man ever!
So those who have never seen it-Checkout Thunderbolt & lightfoot! Young Jeff bridges stealing every scene he was in !
Same here. I LOVE that film! He is such a great actor and a very good man. Jeff is an actor married to the same wife for decades.That is a rarity in Hollywood. I have so much respect for this man.
Rogue Les Yesss!
...or 'El Duderino' if you're into the whole brevity thing...
*not into the whole brevity thing. Let me fix that for you.
Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me.
"Mind if I do a J?"
"I'm sorry, I wasn't listening"
His being makes me cry tears of joy.
The Dude has a very adorable laugh!
Dear god do i wanna share a joint and a beer with this dude
Somewhere out there is a pottery instructor who's absolutely livid about the last 30 seconds of this clip.
There's probably more than one xD
Microfoot • Are you kidding? They’ll probably have a 6 month waiting list after this. 😊
ended too soon!
There is a certain "outsider art" quality to his work. Maybe at the next Venice Biennale. It's in the blood, you know...
If ever this country needed a life coach it's now I nominate the "dude"
The dude is always chill, learn from the dude.
❤️ the Dude is absolutely the best love him.....
Stephen had to end it right when he did, or The Dude was going to kiss him. Bridges goes all out, and I abide. Sadly, if it had happened, the internet would have exploded in awesomeness.
and Stephen would be sleeping on the couch again again
What an utterly delightful man.
The dude for president.
He really does laugh like he did in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Awesome man, he truly is.
Got to be an extra in Jeff's new one "Only The Brave" and watch him sing an old country song in a Santa Fe bar (same one as Crazy Heart). Pretty cool.
Two Jeffs in one show... Guess who's more likeable!
Aww,his laugh is infections!Must be awesome to hang out with him :)
The dude abides...
I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that.
Knightbg ya damn right
Yeah, but not the rug.... They pissed on my rug, man.
You're too tense, man.
Colflake needs the Jeff to make him abide.
Jeff Bridges and Stephen Colbert? Sure as hell beats my fan fiction.
He seems so chill and down-to-earth.
.. down-to-rug..
His laugh is so cute!
I LOVE that man💞😍The Dude abides 😘🤠💕
Jeff Bridges giggles could cure cancer. there must be a way to bottle and distill it!
What a beautiful man 😍❤
What a beautiful head of hair Jeff Bridges has! Look at that majestic mane.
Great ending
but it was too short....
Dude!
Jeff Bridges' laugh is just adorable.
Jeff Bridges went from hot and sexy to old and sassy = adorable from start to finish
How can anyone dislike this video?
Well, this explains why his character on Tron Legacy was way more Zen than he had any right to be, it's a compromise between the character and the actor: Chill Jeff! Don't mess with his Zen thing, man!
Love this man. Always have. Always will.
Jeff Bridges is great. Quite funny at the end!!
His laugh is amazing
I love his laugh...☺️
Jeff Bridges literally bring us the gift of childrens laughter.
His laugh is adorable xD
I’m here from nov 2020 after hearing Dana Carvey doing a Jeff Bridges impersonation 😂👍. Pretty dam good
One of the greatest actor of all time. Very versatile
"I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that.
It's good knowing he's out there...the dude.
Taking her easy for all us sinners"
The second the clay came out I imagined the scene from Ghost. Wasn't disappointed.
Jennifer Bureau Ohhhh, settle down Jennifer, you'll be getting yourself all hot and bothered.
Jeff Bridges almost always seems to be in character.
So, even back in the 80's I've always regarded him as a consummate actor. Regardless of the types of roles he portrays he's always been able to disappear into them as if he's always been that way. For any aspiring actor, the work this guy has done since back then is worth noting.

He has a great career !
Part of me wants to grow up like Eastwood- grizzled, tough, like an whiskey infused stump of wood-- but part of me really wants to be Bridges-- chilled out, level hearted, like a stoned throw rug
