Just as the rest of Hollywood feels obliged to offer its two cents on America’s newest president, actor Jeff Bridges gave his when he was discussing his new Oscar-nominated film “Hell or High Water” with CNN.
People might be surprised, however, to hear that Bridges wants Americans to send a message of peace and acceptance to our newly-elected president.
“We point fingers at people, we point fingers at Trump, he points fingers at people. How are we going to come together and realize that we’re on this little dust spec in space, you know? Things are finite here, you know? How are we going to work together to make the most beautiful existence that we can, you know?”
He continued to say, “you can have very strong opinions, but to go after this peace and this beauty that we’re after I think we gotta show up and give a little space for something beautiful to bloom out of it,” he added.
Closing out his argument, Bridges channeled his legendary “Big Lebowski” character: “As ‘the Dude’ might say,” Bridges added, “‘this aggression will not stand.’”
