Jeff Bridges: Im not vain

7th November 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jeff Bridges thinks hes experienced reverse vanity as hes aged.

The 60-year-old Hollywood star has had a long and successful career in film, and his latest project is playing Kevin Flynn/Clu 2.0 in TRON: Legacy.

In the science-fiction movie about a virtual-world worker who plans to take down the Master Control Program, there are scenes showing Jeffs character as a youngster as well as his old-man character. Jeff was completely happy to appear haggard on screen as hes comfortable with old age and his appearance.

As you get older theres maybe something like reverse vanity, where you just let your age go and not be concerned about it, he told Total Film magazine.

I wasnt worried about how old me looked.

Jeff didnt mind that actor John Reardons body was used for some of the young scenes either, as he has no qualms about the fact hes older. Jeff was keen to make sure John captured his style of moving though.

I was more concerned about the young me, whether John Reardon [the young actor playing Clus body onto which Bridges features are added] had the movement right, he added. (C) Cover Media
