Jeff Bridges has long been one of my favorite actors and style icons and it seems to me that he gets better looking every year. He’s now developed into a Kris Kristofferson kind of look which suits him and Kris perfectly.

When I recently watched the movie Crazy Heart I was so impressed with his acting skills that half way through the movie I knew he was going to win the Oscar. He nailed the part perfectly I actually thought he should have won the Oscar for The Big Lebowski but the movie was kind of odd and not really an Oscar favorite. However, was fantastic as “the dude”.

His newest movie about to be released is True Grit and after seeing the trailer I’m looking forward to it. I find it interesting that he’s playing a John Wayne character and that I can think of only a few actors who could play this role. The other interesting thing is that True Grit is a Coen Brothers movie which also stars Josh Brolin.

The Coen Brothers make incredible movies and it seems that actors would work for free just to say they’ve been in one. They also stick with what works when it comes to actors and when Josh Brolin played the cowboy in No Country for Old Men I was impressed with Brolin’s performance as well as Javier Bardem’s vicious character and so were the Coen Brothers. Bardem was one scary guy and those eyes haunted me for days. That was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time and the acting was outstanding.

I’m interested in Jeff Bridges because we were talking about style the other day and it always appears that movie stars seem to be the first named when it comes to style for both men and women. I guess it makes sense but many non famous people have style and you probably see them anonymously every day. I look at what style probably the same way you do at first and I think that everything about Jeff Bridges is stylish.

Look at the above picture. He looks fantastic and he’s handsome in a rugged masculine way. Great hair and. of course, leading man movie star looks. He would probably look fantastic mowing the lawn. In this picture he also looks like he should be running for office somewhere but he pulls it off nicely.

True Grit comes out December 22, and if anyone see’s the movie before I do, post a comment here and tell me what you thnk. Jill
