Jeff Bridges, the actor best known for his role as “The Dude” in 90s cult classic “The Big Lebowski,” said he’s rooting for our president—a rare moment of optimism to come out of Hollywood since the election.
Bridges voted for Hillary Clinton, but he won’t be publicly trashing or threatening President Donald Trump, like some of his colleagues in the entertainment business have. Johnny Depp and Kathy Griffin recently came under fire from critics and fans alike for violent insinuations against President Trump.
Griffin posted a photo of herself holding up a mock severed head of Trump—ISIS style—while Depp asked a crowd in Glastonbury, U.K., if “it’s time” again for an actor assassinate a president—likely referencing John Wilkes Booth, who, in 1865, murdered President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C.
Both Griffin and Depp have since apologized.
