[@TheRavenfish9]

This friendship is the American equivalent of Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart and I love it.

[@cartergomez5390]

Yeah 👍

[@Mauidemigod249]

Yessir!

[@vautourguy]

If they ever did a grumpy old men remake, these two would be perfect.

[@george8873]

Wouldn't even have to be a remake... just call it More Grumpy Old Men, lol.

[@TheMtVernonKid]

Absolutely ​@@george8873

[@naciremasti]

This is definitely one of the top 5 wired autocomplete interviews of them all.

[@TheJello]

Maybe top 3

[@landlockedpopeye3303]

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

[@TheJello]

@@landlockedpopeye3303 It’s obviously their opinion so idk why you need to point it out. Also the overuse/misuse of commas is killing me. Hey, you seriously, don’t need to, use six, commas, in one, sentence.

[@landlockedpopeye3303]

⁠@@TheJelloThis aggression will not stand, man.

[@landlockedpopeye3303]

@@TheJelloI’m just quoting The Big Lebowski verbatim. Peace and love, dude

[@jodywilson1980]

John Lithgow is 78 years old. He looks and sounds incredible.

[@PoeticallyTwizted]

No kidding, 78? Wow! He’s so lively, I wouldn’t have guessed that high.

[@comebackguy8892]

Compare him to Harrison Ford...

[@mrskeltal3281]

@@comebackguy8892 Harrison has always been grumpy even young :D

[@NathanRFMuir]

John Lithgow is a living legend

[@krisbrag87]

Jeff is there also next to him...

[@dcanmore]

We're gonna miss this generation of actors when they're gone.

[@ghost2031]

Yeah, so true.

[@polly6336]

Jeff is still the dude and I love him.

[@ChilliCheezdog]

"Mr Treehorn treats objects like women, man."

[@mrskeltal3281]

it made me laugh how he described Lebowski Fest as a 'sea of dudes'

[@NotStewie365]

2 absolute legends!! I keep getting surprised that John isn’t British, because his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the Crown was exceptional!

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Same, after Crown I really thought he was British for a while)))

[@anna-mariageorgiades3628]

He went to RADA

[@IBringTheReign]

Jeff Bridges just making old man noises the whole time. 😂😂

[@xx_gamerproxxmk7103]

2:39 his acting playing trinity killer in dexter was amazing

[@maisonneuve]

I love John lithgow. He’s one of the most underrated actors of our time.

[@civlyzed]

John Lithgow has received numerous accolades including six Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and two Tony Awards as well as nominations for two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, and four Grammy Awards. Lithgow has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2001 and was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 2005. "Underrated - adjective /ˌʌn·dərˈreɪt̬·əd/ having more importance, value, skill, power, etc., than people recognize".

[@maisonneuve]

@@civlyzed I absolutely didn’t mean he is an unrecognized actor. He’s had a storied career and has been recognized by his peers on numerous occasions. I mean that I personally don’t think John Lithgow is as much of a household name as he should be, that in the public sphere of knowledge he perhaps isn’t as revered as some other actors who ultimately aren’t nearly as talented as Lithgow. Being recognized in and by your industry is not the same thing as being a household name like Meryl Streep. I do know what the word underrated means, but thank you so much for that, really put the nail in the coffin of what you interpreted my comment to be about and was really just the right amount of belittling.

[@moody__lemon86]

When Jeff says man at the end of a sentence, it just warms my heart. He will always be the dude ❤️

[@TAJY26]

This interview put a smile on my face. Seeing these older actors recount their stories. They still got their wit and memories and talent. Cherish the older ones

[@vickybriggs2176]

John lithgow most amazing versatile actor ever scared the crap out of me in Dexter and laughed hard in 3rd rock !

[@monsterhog1118]

Have you seen his twilight zone episode?

[@izimmzskizzmz]

Yes! I loved watching 3rd Rock back in the day... I’ve never seen Dexter, but I’d probably watch those episodes just to see Lithgow 🤣 the first time I saw him was playing a villain in a kids Christmas film and Dudley Moore was an elf 🤣 now I gotta go watch a clip of him playing a greedy businessman, “ we’ll call it Christmas Two!” 🤣

[@FairuzaMNasir]

Imagine having granddads of these two. Dudepa and GrandpaJohn ❤

[@TheDevnul]

He was so good on Dexter. One of best seasons of anything.

[@Jo-np7rr]

Happy the Dude’s still alive!

[@ettoredamicodelgrosso2444]

Donny isn’t 😔

[@empchampion40k]

The Dude abides

[@Neenerella333]

I take comfort in that.

[@75YBA]

Love our Lebowski.❤❤❤

[@rhysioeren3203]

Why wouldn't he?

[@elizabetheaton3882]

Both John Lithgow and Jeff Bridges are national treasures 😂

[@michaelgiannetti3846]

Jeff Bridges is the most chill man on the planet. He really is the dude.

[@noam65]

Happy to see they're both alive. RIP James Earl Jones

[@tint1122]

I love these dudes! A couple legends just having a good time.

[@BenSkyLakewood]

Why legends because they read lines in front of a camera?

[@ToddRock16]

THAT was cool. I still have a smile on my face. Born in '65, these 2 wonderful, interesting, talented ( and nice !) true legendary actors were a part of your world. Aren't we lucky. Thank you both 🎉

[@TeaForTwoIngles]

Jeff Bridges doesn't play The Dude. The Dude plays Jeff Bridges.

[@solesuarez3263]

Oh, what a duet!!! Most versatile actors 👏👏👏👏

[@mr.fat-head915]

These two remind me of the old grumpy Muppets bickering in the corner of the theater and I love it

[@HerbertAckermans]

John Lithgow and Jeff Bridges are NICE, period!

[@jillybean651]

They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Love this interview ❤

[@GreatGooglieWooglie]

These two men are so entertaining and engaging. I want to watch them EVERY WEEK!!!!

[@MrTheBritishness]

Always great to see the older end of Hollywood reflect, excite, and show their energy for acting and the arts ❤❤

[@JoeMaxFpv]

Love Jeff bridges. True grit is still one of my favorites.

[@saginawdan]

His best role, in my opinion.👍

[@coolcat8b]

The Dude is a great exemple of perfect casting. 🥰 Jeff will "abide" with it forever.

[@udaswoop]

Just watched this lounging an a chilly Sunday afternoon with a cup of hot coffee. Excellent.

[@heartkiller1666]

The vibes of this interview made me so happy ❤

[@RollinLeonard]

Thank you Jeff for bringing back that amazing camera. I cannot WAIT for that to come out.

[@jennd5237]

I’ve loved John Lithgow since The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai!

[@nathanhaimson]

These two are delightful. Also, why do I feel like this is what Rhett & Link will look like in 30 years?

[@goldiewatches]

ahaha yeah but Link is definitely not losing that much of his hair, his dad’s curls are majestic still.

[@nathanhaimson]

@@goldiewatches True! Link's dad has great hair. Honestly I think it's funny Rhett has such majestic hair but his dad is bald. 🤣

[@sachadontcry]

This was so sweet and chill, I appreciate it

[@6181143919]

So true. I could listen to them all day.

[@davidleary4524]

This is how I found out there's another season of The Old Man coming up, which is great. These men are treasures.

[@Tunapie]

I hope they live a long life. I wanna see them in movies for a long time.

[@clam371384]

Hat off to both amazing actors

[@AlexZafer]

How sweet, gentle and lovely are these two? Living legends.

[@ginafriend1690]

Bridges is 74 .. seems older. Loved "the dude 😎" and Lithgow is a great actor

[@randypiper7485]

Loved Lithgow as the villain in "Cliffhanger". Badass!. Loved him. And Bridges in "Tron". Thanks for taking me through "The Grid". ;)P. Can't wait for the next chapter!.

[@Xanderall]

That was the first time I saw him as a villain. Scary!

[@jonathanross149]

Two great and iconic actors

[@lalousiane7118]

What a joy to see two of my favorite actors in their natural habitat non-scripted. 😊❤❤❤

[@chieflegend4284]

Seeing 2 legends sitting down in one room is one of the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[@kourtourafi]

The fact that a man as kind, smiling and likeable as John Lithgow has managed to portray some of the most villainous, paranoid, universally hated characters is a testament to his talent...

[@66RainySuper]

Thunderbolt & Lightfoot still one of my favorites

[@anna-mariageorgiades3628]

Such a weird film but so fun and sad at the end.

[@im_agine852]

Jeff bridges is a mouth breather.

[@nahuel]

So much talent in one place.

[@WalkingmanPattaya]

Fun, funny, real and interesting actors, performers. The best of a generation and beyond. Thank You

[@2ndround415]

Absolutely a pleasure and a treat! Two legends.

[@MrSymon68]

I was having a really bad day and then I watched this! Thank you Thank you so much. xx

This truly made my soul smile

[@brayceclack2695]

John lithgow is one of the best actors ever 😂

[@SpielSatzFail]

And what is so funny about that?

[@floki-man]

They’re such amazing actors, it’s impossible to really know if they’re the greatest of friends, or not.

[@theartofpablo0110]

Jeff is the GOAT.

Two of the greatest actors ever. Great to see this!

[@dallesamllhals9161]

11:07 HOLY CRAP! My life's complete 😀

[@sjogre7789]

Favorite Bridges role Starman. Lithgow Raising Cain. Robin Williams with Lithgow in A World According To Garp is a movie gem!!!!

[@TheRickWillett]

A very large thank you to the casting directors of The Old Man.

[@RetNemmoc555]

I just rewatched the first season to refresh my memory of the show before watching Season 2. Great show.

[@alfredthegreat9543]

Jeff Bridges- Starman John Lithgow- Cliffhanger Those are the roles i immediately think of when seeing these 2 wonderful actors.

[@waywardmind]

Jeff Bridges - Tron/Fisher King John Lithgow - Dexter Those are my kinda immediate reactions.

[@TonyTylerDraws]

You’re…60 ish? I’m guessing because you would have been 20 in the 80s since those are your touchstones (I’m 43 and know those films but I didn’t watch them until I was older)

[@werdwerdus]

most energy I've seen on these! ❤

[@dominator5498]

I've always liked both of these extraordinary gentlemen. This was a fun episode.

[@yotaruvegeta]

America’s grandpas! I love John making Jeff laugh

[@oldschoolel]

This has been the best episode, yet. The Old Man is a great show, also.

[@venadacent7696]

This is such a lovely video and what top gents they are

[@muyspicypepper8258]

Jeff Bridges is overlooked and when we lose him, people will all look back and realize that

[@Madman007]

We're not losing him. The Dude will be immortal.

[@michaelchallis4129]

Bridges are for looking over.

[@AH-te5gs]

He's not overlooked.

[@FramesPerSecond]

Bridges is one of the most acclaimed and beloved actors. What are you on about?

[@Largentina.]

Overlooked? HUH? On what planet? Definitely not on earth. He's one of the most acclaimed actors in history. He's won an Oscar, a SAG Award, multiple Golden Globes. This is an objectively false statement that you've made here.

[@XSpImmaLion]

Absolute legends

[@cyndiarios]

John Lithgow is the best.

[@wildkingdom2012]

two of the best. my absolute faves.

[@user-ho1yn6ms7y]

John Lithgow is a tremendous actor. Most movies he’s a nice, lovable guy, but in Cliffhanger….dude was an exceptional villain.

[@darnitthelma4247]

Jeff in vanishing is phenomenal acting 😊

[@virginiarocks]

What a delightful pair of dudes!🎉❤

[@rickyourhere9777]

Honestly this was refreshing. Seriously, I felt like I was sitting at a table with two chums who recounted stories with such vigor. While I am not apart of their friendship, I can see why these two are friends.

[@Samwise108]

I love both of these guys! Great to see them together

[@soxxel12]

Has to be one of the most wholesome interviews on Wired...

[@mybachhertzbaud3074]

My earliest memories of these two fine actors were John in The World according to Garp and Jeff in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Both very memorable roles.😁Play On Gentlemen!

[@loucazin543]

Lucky enough to meet John Lithgow a few days ago - an absolute sweetheart! Love him!!!

[@JustMe-ks8qc]

This was glorious!

[@garydevenport2330]

The "How is Brad Pitt related to John Lithgow?" question is a reference to a Family Guy joke where Stewie tells Brian that doesn't that sound like something that could be true?

[@frankstaunton1263]

My first sight of John Lithgow was in "Die Hard" and of Jeff Bridges was in "Tron" - the original Tron, and whenever I see either of them these are the 2 movies that spring to mind.

[@SpielSatzFail]

I think you mean Cliffhanger instead of Die Hard?

[@TwoLeftThumbs]

The Trinity Killer and Obidiah Stane both acting like butter wouldn’t melt

[@erakfishfishfish]

I love the moment in Iron man when Stane screams at Ralphie “TONY STARK BUILT THIS IN A CAVE! WITH A BUNCH OF SCRAPS!”

[@adenihil]

2 of the coolest dudes that ever lived right there

[@drew8958]

Lithgow is amazing in 20,000 feet truly amazing taking us on his journey - he plays terrified superbly and then in Cliff hanger the coldest, which was apt being in the snow filled mountains! His comedic timing was amazing in 3rd Rock - I am a secret Lithgow fan 👍

[@TBfilms657]

Litgow in Cliffhanger was amazing

[@tracyosick1099]

I can’t say how much this just warmed my heart….. I love these guys! ❤❤❤

[@Rmacnation]

DE-LIGHT-FUL! Using the internet to spread love, joy, and a beautiful friendship. What a concept!

[@_Rick___Grimes_]

the footloose part caught me off guard😂

[@elizabethspitzer5343]

I would pay hard earned money to see John Lithgow dressed in Julianne Moore’s Viking costume
