Oscar-winning actor Jeff Bridges was described as «royalty» by his peers on Friday as he sunk his hands and feet into the cement at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre.
The 67-year-old actor, who has been nominated for a Golden Globe this year for «Hell or High Water,» was surrounded by fellow actors and industry heavyweights, including Sharon Stone and Chris Pine, during the ceremony.
«He is a pillar. He is a backbone. He may as well be royalty,» said Pine as he introduced the veteran actor. «Even within the business, actors are fangirling over Jeff Bridges all the time, including myself. »
Pine added that Bridges, who won an Oscar in 2010 for his performance in «Crazy Heart,» just «breathes love. »
«He has a heart miles and miles wide. His bandwidth for love, compassion and positivity is something to really behold,» Pine said.
Bridges, dressed in a suit and tie, recalled coming to the iconic theater as a kid and joked that his brother Beau had told him to «bliss out» and enjoy the imprint ceremony.
The actor has been a Hollywood leading man since the 1970s and is notably known for playing Jeff «The Dude» Lebowski in the 1998 Coen Brothers cult comedy classic «The Big Lebowski. «
