Jeff Bridges is so chill. Him being in the room can be like Xanax, but you can drive after.

Jeff Bridges has a great head of hair

[@fortyforfree]

Dude is blessed

[@hankhank2377]

Well y'know that's just like....your opinion man

[@lynnturman8157]

Yep. For a "dude" (not just this dude but all dudes), you can get fat, you can even go grey. But as long as you have a full head of hair, you're still in the game.

[@kylecanalejo1290]

+Lynn Turman lol ya thats a load of bs.

[@0002pA]

He's like some kind of David Lynch.

THE DUDE ABIDES

[@chrisvinson7518]

anytime I hear him talk, even normal interviews, I always hear the dude. can't even help it.

[@Tychoxi]

This is not 'Nam, Coco. There are rules.

[@wolverineiscool7161]

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

[@OnTheFritz602]

Gotta love Jeff. Son of a famous actor, started acting young, and still is so down to earth. He *is* the Dude.

[@Kelveron]

Wonderful guy, great actor, wealthy, happy family man and a great head of hair....what more can a guy ask for in life?

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

A rug.

[@Tbyago]

Jeff bridges is pretty wonderful too

[@Bryan8329]

I saw some bio about him on the E! channel years and years ago and the voice-over said something to the effect that he didn't accept it at first because he thought it glorified drug use. My immediate thought that I still believe is that the only thing it ever glorified was bowling.

[@NicKeLas]

And the White Russian.

[@HoyaSaxaSD]

And Ralph's Club

[@ILikeYourSuit]

Alcohol is a drug, so...

[@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE.]

It glorifies being a lazy bum... And that's alright.

Jeff Bridges looks like he's evolving into Kris Kristofferson.

[@pilsung26]

ha

[@DanielLopez-fj9yz]

That is only his second form wait until 20 episodes later till he reaches his true form..next time on Dragon Ball Z

[@wolverineiscool7161]

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

[@gnalkhere]

When they crossed paths in Heaven's Gate, it was inevitable

[@brucehauge1391]

Kind of a cross between Sean Penn and Kris Kristofferson

[@kennytee6882]

Jeff Bridges could play The Dude any day, even from a box of scraps

[@Theomite]

Well I'm very sorry. But I'm not Jeff Bridges.

[@alfelix12]

i understood that reference

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

It's El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

[@RYN988]

Here's what I love about Conan, real laughter.

[@TheStuport]

"A Sea of Dudes"......Vintage Jeff being so cool

[@GigiMarquis]

HAHA! I do the Jackie Treehorn doodle on the notepads provided in-room at every hotel I stay at!

[@d00ks]

Gillian Martin lmfaoooo have you found anything yet

[@PrateekJain-pi9jc]

I do something similar. Sometimes when I see a notepad lying around i sketch this in the top page then take it off, and then i shade a part of the page with the impression (till the head) and leave the pencil next to the pad . So the person who comes after me, tries to shade the remaining page and is left mindfucked like the dude. 😂😂

[@rhyswong8976]

Hahahaa no way. That would hilarious if someone notice it and seen the movie. 😂

[@steveg6035]

Ive been to a Lebowski Fest. It was like being among family. If you get the Coens and The Dude, we are likely gonna be just fine

[@renew5751]

His name is Lebowski? That's your name Dude.

[@Kontorstol]

jeff bridges IS the dude

[@RuffyT1]

A "Sea of Dudes" is what happens after "It's Raining Men" xD

[@TheEqualizer-iw1bz]

I cannot even imagine anyone else playing the part of The Dude except Jeff Bridges (because it is so ingrained into movie iconic history).

[@_A_D_]

One of the best actors of this era.

[@nitinvdn]

The Dude is my favourite boomer.

[@riftsalty7562]

haha no doubt

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

The dude would be the child of a boomer. WTF Are you talking about. Boomers are in their eighties.

[@formatcforcortex2465]

nice to see the human side of actors. always enjoyed your interviews conan.

[@oobazee]

+Blackie Mesa Yeah I know 😆😆😆, it was just a joke. The Jordan bit.

[@johnlegend3081]

Was on a train from Frankfurt to Hamburg someone was watching a movie on a laptop and I saw bit and pieces Asked for the name he said “Big Lebowski” Asked my sister to rent it and watch it with her kids. She didn’t find it funny but I just loved it. Thank you for the great movie. Have been a fan of this actor ever since.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

One of the best cast movies ever!

That rug really tied the room together.

[@ginafriend1690]

Nobody could have played "the dude" But "the dude" himself. Don't know if they're still doing the Lebowski Fest, but would have loved to attend. Great pic Before the operation 😄

[@benjaminirvan9860]

My hero!

Jeff's hairdo right here makes him look just like his late father Lloyd Bridges

such a cool dude

[@KungFuHotdog]

*A sea of Dudes* is my new favourite quote.

[@kb-zealot]

playing at lebowskifest seems like the kind of surreal thing that would be in one of the dude's dreams

[@khaledabdulrahman9204]

Thank you jessie ❤

[@alexpollock6932]

For some reason I read the title as Jeff Bridges almost passed out on the set of the big Lebowski.

[@roberthays2883]

He played in like the very first King Kong. I somehow was watching the movie (from the 70s I think) and he had a massive beard at the time but I was like “he looks and sounds familiar” and my dad confirmed it. I was shocked. Been in a lot of great movies.

[@douglasstanley7317]

The first King Kong was filmed in 1933 with the iconic Fay Wray as the lead actress.

[@sonyericsson9044]

You see what happens larry?

I just watched a scotch tasting video, now this. I guess on Christmas night I'll be drinking scotch and watching the Big Lebowski

[@nutterkid200]

its kinda funny. Jeff bridges actually looks alot more like 'the real' jeff lebowski in this video.

0:41 By this time my lungs were aching for air.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

Hard to think that Jeff Bridges was almost not El Duderino.

[@Jmw5283]

Dude abides!

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Bridges sounds like the chillest sixty year old guy who's ever lived. He has the phallus, and it's working out well for him.

goddamn jeff's hair is great

“Where’s the money Lebowski”

[@dabsafe]

Thank you Dude, or Duder, your Dudeness or el Duderino (if you’re not in to the whole brevity thing) 😎🇨🇦🤣

[@laidir1000]

Re GQ still, now we know what was 'big'(?) about Lebowski. And prickly too! Sympathies to Jeff's El Duderina.

[@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212]

I was expecting Conan was going to ask the dude about the actor he portrays in real life, Jeff Bridges, but all the questions were rather about himself, the dude.

[@fuzzygrizzly]

It's the dude. The dude abides.

[@billijeangoodwin6395]

I'm glad he didn't pass he was EXCELLENT! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@samsonwilkinson8090]

I had to see the movie a few times before I got it. It was so amusing that I literally lost the plot!

[@amillieshub4136]

we dropped the money , WE?! no i the Royal WE 😂😂

[@olegb2177]

That would be cool if he just suddenly put on his sunglasses and said something like "Sorry, I wasn't listening")

[@usitha]

Mind if i do a J?

[@someguynamedmike4766]

It's mad how I haven't seen The Big Lebowski even tho I've heard good about it but I remember him having seen both Tron movies & Iron Man

[@Bryan8329]

He's done some other good movies too...

[@WhateverHappenedToFun]

Try the true underrated "The Morning After" and enjoy it with two or three cocktails!

[@deepsharma5703]

Conan ties this show together

[@ferdinandporsempre3246]

La película era traducida al español.

[@525Lines]

Wouldn't going to a fan convention the last thing The Dude would do?

[@Tychoxi]

Of course he would go. As long as there are beverages and bowling involved.

[@HoyaSaxaSD]

He listens to broadcasts of his old bowling semi-finals for relaxation. I think he'd be okay with a little minor celebrity worship, if there was pot and/or White Russians, and maybe an oat soda, involved. Remember that the Dude abides; he'd abide his fans.

[@lynnturman8157]

True. But he isn't the Dude. He's an actor who played the Dude.

[@TheBirdieView]

I thought they meant he almost died on set
