Sideshow: The Dude . . . is the Dude

Jeff Bridges really and truly is the Dude, that mellow, Zenned-out character he played in the Coen Brothers' '98 masterpiece, The Big Lebowski. The Buddhist adept, who has been married to Susan Geston for more than 35 years, is soo cool that he had everyone at his eldest daughter Isabelle Annie's wedding sit down and meditate, he tells GQ.

"We had a big party at our house. And to some people's embarrassment - I think my daughter kind of dug it, my wife probably thought it was over the top - I led everybody in a big om-ing session for about five minutes," Bridges says. "I thought everybody got off. But I was pretty drunk myself."

Bridges believes married couples have the same fight every time they fight. "Basically the fight is: You don't get it." He gets metaphysical. "None of us, none of us, get each other. So you have to just be  with that." Conclusion: "your love has to get bigger to hold that misunderstanding, that mystery."
