Summary

Jeff Bridges (The Old Man, The Big Lebowski, True Grit) is an Academy Award-winning actor. Jeff joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how he broke his mom’s heart as a teenager, learning how to stage fight, and why he travels with his own chair. Jeff and Dax talk about when parents show you their “feet of clay,” the secret to keeping a healthy relationship, and how near death experiences can snap you out of your identity. Jeff explains how he came to terms with death when he was sick, finding comfort in uncertainty, and all the projects he’s involved in outside of acting.
