Jeff Bridges: ‘I was on death’s door’

If you dreamed of discovering the unforgettable performer of The Big Lebowski at the head of a TV series, it’s time to rush on The Old Man, released this week on Disney+, an exciting spy story where we follow a former CIA agent who has been living in hiding for several years, and is now forced to flee following being spotted. Jeff Bridges is great in the skin of this agent a bit tired but still terribly effective. However, it took little for the actor, 72, not to come to the end of this first main role in a series. First diagnosed with cancer, then struck down by the coronavirus, he almost lost his skin there.
