Jeff Bridges is one of the most famous actors in Hollywood today and has had a tremendous career so far, starring in movies like “The Big Lebowski” and “Crazy Heart.” But what not many people know about him is the fact that he has been married to the same woman for the past four decades.
That is a huge achievement not just for famous couples in Hollywood but even for everyday couples. With one in two marriages breaking apart nowadays, it’s safe to say that a marriage that lasts for a lifetime is not something you come across every day.
Jeff Bridges’ relationship with his wife Dorothy started when they were both really young. Jeff was busy making a movie in Montana and he was shooting a scene at a hotel when he first spotted Dorothy. The actor says he was fascinated by the woman’s beauty and couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
After staring at her for a while, Jeff finally mustered up the courage to walk over to her and ask her on a date. Dorothy instantly shut him down and refused his invitation, but Jeff knew there was something special about the gorgeous young woman he just met.
A few nights later, they met by chance at a local bar. Then is when they first danced together. For Jeff, it was love at first sight, and soon enough, Dorothy fell in love as well. And believe it or not, Jeff actually has pictures that show him talking to his now wife of over forty years for the first time.
