Anyone stuck with an image of Jeff Bridges from his better-known films might have done a double take if they saw the Academy Award-winning actor in New York earlier this year. Bridges, his hair tightly pulled back in a neat bun behind his head, looked lean and fit dressed in a dark grey pinstripe suit and a white button-down shirt open at the collar.

The look was a sharp contrast to Bridges’ iconic beer-bloated bowling slob Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski in the 1998 Coen Brothers modern cult classic “The Big Lebowski” or the unkempt and dysfunctional faded musician Bad Blake of the 2009 film “Crazy Heart,” for which Bridges won the Best Actor Oscar.

In New York, Bridges, 63, was suited up for some serious business that has been a passion of his for 30 years—bringing attention to the plight of Americans who havetoo few resources to eat healthfully or little access to adequate food.

I agree good for him.

I've always liked his movies too. He is most excellent in The Men Who Stare At Goats, the movie has a real Coenesque feel to it and it very funny. Also loved him in True Grit.
 
I've always been a fan and love his brother, Beau, and his dad, Lloyd. All excellent actors w/o a hint of gossip or Hollywood publicity other than for their acting. I admire actors who can earn millions, but remain grounded and very family oriented, remaining in long term marriages. You don't see it often.

Jeff's dedication to the plight of the hungry and poor is very typical of how he's lived his life (as I've read) and shows how he was raised. His dad would be so proud! Warms my heart...

They are probably the only acting family that has never embarrassed themselves with crazy antics and bad behaviour!

A young Jeff Bridges. Oh Baby!

The Dude is one of my favorite movies. Good for him for trying to do some good.
