Bridges: Maggie was top of my list
Tuesday, 9 March 2010
enlargeThe Hollywood star - who scooped the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as alcoholic country musician Bad Blake - said Maggie was top of his wish list to play the young reporter he falls for.
He said: "I've been following her, she's a great actress, she disappears into the role and becomes that person. She was on the top of my list of actresses that I kind of imagined in that role."
Jeff, 60, had no qualms about the age-gap on screen between him and 32-year-old Maggie.
"I thought about having a more age-appropriate relationship, but somehow the story didn't lend itself to that, it was better to be this way," he said.
"As far as how that felt, I mean, I think of myself as 25," he laughed.
"I can't believe I'm 60 years old, come on!"
