Actor Jeff Bridges, renowned for his roles as a president in the film "The Contender" and as The Dude in "The Big Lebowski, said he is "rooting" for President Trump as "a human being."
Im rooting for him to do well by our country, Bridges told the Associated Press in an interview published Wednesday.
ADVERTISEMENT Im rooting for him as a human being to do the cool thing," he added, after saying other people who were upset by the election results would be "blatantly out there talking about their disappointments and ridiculing the way President Trump is acting.
Bridges, who supported Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, told the news outlet that every person has "something different and unique to contribute to society and with different ways of doing it."
His accepting views come after a string of celebrities including comedian Kathy Griffin and actor Johnny Depp, have made violent jokes or allusions to assassinating Trump in recent weeks.

The Dude did like White Russians.
I just watched “RIPD” on Blu-Ray - Jeff Bridges & Ryan Reynolds w/Kevin Bacon. The actress who played “Proctor” was great in a quirky, dry humor kind of way.
Quite entertaining...
Finally some sanity,
He’s obviously not a Trump fan but he’s willing to work with him and for the betterment of the country.
What about black Russians?
Bridges has got so much money, he can tell Hollywood to ESAD.
Faking support, he takes his shot in the last paragraph:
The health of our children is a wonderful compass that can tell us if our country is going the right direction, he told the AP. That means were off course, so Im rooting for the president to get on course.
Wouldn’t trust him ever, after what he did to Lolly Madonna! :/
Well, Jeff.
That sound you now hear is the sound of agents and producers NOT calling you.
Nice that you took the correct stand, but you are now an enemy of the Hollyweird elite.
Pushkin!
After this morning’s tweet how long before he backtracks..1..2..3..
“Bridges, who supported Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election”
Although I respect Jeff Bridges for at least getting behind Trump now that he is President.
I did hear before the election that Jeff Bridges was a closet conservative. Ditto Nicole Kidman, but no surprise with her since she is married to a country singer.
If you read until the end of the article, I think the H-Freaks will give him a pass.
So the Dude does not abide.
His great-grandfather was African.
I suppose I really need to watch the movie. Saw the first ten minutes a few years ago.
Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Hitchhiker and Big Lebowski.
I’ve read and seen a lot except for those, and can’t keep up with the language. :)
Exactamente. Actors with established careers and money in the bank can speak as conservatives or anti-marxist and get away with it in the Malibu area. It is different for younger conservatives.
The Thunderbolt would approve of Lightfoot
