My dad saw my mom on a bus when she was 15. She was with her parents. He was 17 and with his friends. My dad said to his friends, “I’m going to marry that girl.” Three years later they met. He told her he saw her and described the bracelets she was wearing that day on the bus. They will be married 70 years in August. They still live in their home together. She’s 90 he’s 92.

I could listen to Jeff for hours. He seems like such a cool dude to have a cup of coffee and talk with

I thought my husband was in touch with each aspect of his emotions...but, Jeff takes the cake! Very raw, honest, insightful truths. Always listen to the whispers.

I can see the natural warmth and wit of his Dad shining through. Two good men, real menches.

I just looked up what Susan looks like today and my goodness I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman age more beautifully. She’s a perfect 10.

Jeff Bridges should be the uncle who should be at every Thanksgiving dinner because we know he got the best stories.

WOW. Great story. My husband and I knew the minute we met and looked at each other. It's going on 30 years now and we are still best friends and soul mates. Love at first sight does exist.

Jeff Bridges has always been one of my favorite actors ! His soul is beautiful ! I wish him and his family love and happiness all the days of their lives ! And more luck then they will need🍀 ( that line is from a Jimmy Buffett song )

That was so beautiful. I feel way too much sometimes.. what a great storyteller.

That’s funny, my wife recently found a photo of us together at the party where we met, 33 years and 2 daughters ago.

I saw my husband and knew immediately he was for me even though I was quite the wild child. Somehow I knew we would be married, my mom said I’ll believe it when I see it. It took several years to get married but Its been almost 38 years together. When we know, we know. 💕. I just love Jeff Bridges.

Wonderful! How not to love this man!? Such a wonderful storyteller and so inspiring! :)

If he didn't show the photos, I was going to sue the entire world. Beautiful woman. You had no choice. :-)

He’s so transparent, so real. Reminds me of my husband.

Whoever took the picture at the end should get an award. That was a beautiful pic.

Wow. That was great. Thanks for sharing that with us, Sam; it was really special. My wife is a year older than I and we were friends in high school (I moved from a "big" school to a really small town (graduating class was only 53)). After a number of years, we happened to bump into each other at a local grocery store (I still lived in that small town through college). She was visiting her mother and I happened to see her on the sidewalk. I walked up to her and looked in the eye to say, "Hello." Well, that whole line about butterflies in the stomach is TRUE! I thought my insides were going to spill out on the sidewalk! I had to look away but she kept trying to make eye contact because she felt it, too. And every time our eyes met, butterflies! We've now been married 31 years. Have a great rest of your week and thanks, again, for sharing that. It was a beautiful story.

Fairytales don’t always come true, but, every now and then they do. Congratulations Jeff and Susan Bridges.

Married for over 40 years. Damn.

i have loved that family all my life, i'm fans of his, and his brother and father as they are all damn fine actors, i also love hearing stories about this when you hear a guy that really adores his wife, though Colbert is the same way you don't often hear enough guys speak like this about their wife and it's nice to hear it. but wow pictures of the first words they ever spoke to one another

I need a Jeff Bridges in my life

Someone should direct a movie without script and Jeff Bridges as the only actor improvising for two hours.

Wow. What an amazing and sweet story! You simply can’t write it better than that.

Jeff Bridges is so real. Love his emotions are shown .. Rare. But I love it .. He indeed has a beautiful wife love can speak in our hearts .. It did for Jeff

Thank you for highlighting a happy and beautiful Hollywood marriage rather than a scandalous marriage. There are actually lots of wonderful celebrity couples but they seem to get overlooked by the 5 minute marriages

I am absolutely captivated by every word he says. What an incredible man!

sigh when would i ever have that moment

I love this guy, zen legend.

I fell in love with my wife on first sight. Could think of nothing else.

Jeff Bridges is such a legend in the truest sense of the word

Loved his love story and the fact that he dared to talk about a very intangible but also a very human feeling as well: destiny taking over your actions and the shock it brings to your body and mind :)

I love that he shared his story. So beautiful!

First I want to note that I'm upset. I wanted to marry him! Second, he's such a mesmerizing man. So aware and courageous, wise and artistic. Love the interview

Does Jeff have house slippers on? That's very Dude of him.

The only thing i picture me, when he's sitting there talking is, The Dude.

Lovely story, thank you for sharing it!

Jeff and his soul mate...how sweet.

Loved this and thank you for sharing!!

He will ALWAYS be “The Dude” to me! 🙀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What a wise man! Bravo Jeff. Bless you and your Susan.✌

Wonderful humble man with great humor. And, such respect for his wife. Refreshing to see and hear. Lived how he portrayed his roles in Star Man with Karen Allen and The Mirror Has Two Faces with Barbra Streisand.

Awesome anecdote, loved it! Jeff is the man! So sure these two are twin flames!

Such a good story of meeting love of his life. Susan has to be extraordinary woman to keep him home for 46 years. Perfect match.

Very sweet interview!

My oldest brother looks just like Jeff. It's uncanny. When he goes on vacation he's been mistaken for Jeff sometimes. My brother is 6ft and Jeff would be 6ft 1inch.

Awwww she's so pretty in that pic.

wow , very rare in Hollywood. Thanks for sharing and may Jeff's story influence the new generation .

All time favorite film is The Bug Lebowski! Thanks for all the memories Dude!

Wow awesome you shared the photos too so amazing love the Dude!

I'm so glad I see this! 😍😍😍

Great actor!!! his story brings feelings of the heart!!!

Thats simply beautiful. Thank you, gorgeous, for sharing. She has to be a dream.

Legend stay strong stay safe everyone stay strong stay safe sending love from UK takecare xxx

Ummm. NO. Hahahahaha! Who says NO to Jeff Bridges?!? That was awesome ❤️

Beautiful, honest, narrative.

Maybe my single favorite OffCamera clip I've ever seen on this channel. :) Really beautiful sharing here.

He should do a one man show in small regional theaters.

Love that movie Against All Odds. And last night just watched Jagged Edge . 😊

Have always loved this guy!!!

a charming beautiful soul..love you jeff!

Beautiful story! I like him very much!😃👍👍 One of my favourite actors by the way😉

Beautiful story! ♥

Jeff could read the want ads and it would be entertaining. Great interview.

He’s an amazing soul. Xx

Thank you.

I love their story and love!

Love this. Good on you, Jeff Bridges! Great story.

He is so amazing and transparent.

He adores her :)

He’s one amazing man propelled by an amazing woman..

SUPER slow non-high-speed data having , still need to hear this !! Really great story Really great life

I just love him. Such a neat guy.

God Bless you both, I am praying for you and your family and Wish you health and continued happiness. My husband and I are smitten with each other and Jan 1 we will be happily married for 50 years and we were so attracted to each other the first time our eyes locked and we were young but knew we were going to be together for the rest of our lives and we still feel that. So I know what you mean about being so strongly connected. We simply respect each other love each other and have a friend ship that’s so beautiful. I wish you the same . Love and happiness to you and your family!

Gorgeous guy, gorgeous family ❣️

WOW. Key word: SUPPORT!

He sounds like a sincere person

Love the way you interview your male guests about their wives

Wow! what a story - and the first moment caught on film. Meant to be. On a side note, I kept seeing the facial expressions of Kris Kristopherson in Mr. Bridges and his beard (probably just me).

that is amazing!

Beautiful story!!!

That was beautiful!

Lovely man. Love his films. Thunderbolt. And lightning. Was great film.

Damn. That was a great story!

That was..great...makes me miss my wife

And in the photo... you can clearly see one of her black eyes. Love it.

I know that feeling of having that moment when you realize you a falling in love with someone. I know that almost instant terrifying fear that also sets in. Luckily for Jeff it worked out in his favor. For me it didn't. But in a way it was maybe for the best. My focus on what is the most valuable in life is changing. I'm choosing the people that actually care and matter to me. The rest I'm letting go off. I don't need or want them in my life. They are also the ones that have problems. Not me. I was open and honest towards them. They took my kindness and good nature for granted. Treated me like shit. I'm leaving them behind now. Staying connected only to the truthful people. The rest will have to figure out their own shit. If they ever want to reconnect they can do it through a mutual friend. But they will have to show a willingness to want to be a better person towards me. If not, I'm good. I live my own life now. And I choose the people I want in my life now.

He said something about her having two black eyes and a broken nose, yet interviewer doesn’t think this requires elaboration or explanation..😁

WOW, what are the odds of meeting someone so right for you? That was a great story.

Beautiful story .....☺️💕👍👏👏👏👏👏

Something we all aspire for .. 💞

Hair goals.

What a guy.

The man is the real deal good for him and wife !

I love him.

What a great story 😄

everytime i watch this i always crack up at how he mimicks the face of the rock at 3:39 while telling that story

The Dude abides 🙏👍🧜‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤙✌️

I wonder if I ever got like Jeff bridges would I come to a interview with slippers on without socks...

Jeff Bridges and Kris Kristofferson should play each other in a movie.
