Jeff Bridges Has a Fun Little Secret: He Loves to Draw!

It's easy to think of our kids coming home from school, sitting down and drawing fun little pictures. But we never think of mega big-time adult celebrities coming home from a hectic day on the job, sitting down and... drawing fun little pictures.

Acclaimed actor Jeff Bridges, well known for his roles in movies such as The Big Lebowski, Fearless, and The Door Under the Floor, loves to steal away and draw to his heart's content. In fact, his cool drawings are a big part of communicating with fans on his personal website. Jeff's whimsical sketches and doodles reveal the core requisite for drawing enjoyment as an adult: a direct connection with his inner kid.

He considers himself an amateur artist (he did the paintings for Fearless and the book illustrations for The Door Under the Floor). "For a long while I wasn't sure I was going to make acting my main focus professionally. I was interested in music, painting and other creative pursuits."

Jeff Bridges did get serious about acting, and we're glad he did. But as an unabashed sketcher and doodler, he's an inspiration to grownups everywhere, who'd like to come home after work, relax and have fun with a pencil and paper--starting tonight.
