He expressed gratitude to his followers: "I want to thank you all for reaching out during this time, it feels good getting all the well wishes and love!"

Jeff Bridges has starred in over 90 movies in a career spanning five decades. His most famous role came in the 1998 cult classic The Big Lebowski. He also won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his work on Crazy Heart (2009).
