What has happened to Jeff Bridges?

His speaking pattern is getting worse. He's always had this to some degree but I recently saw him in Hell or High Water and it's like somebody poured a couple of tablespoons of water under his tongue and asked him not to spill a drop while he talks.
Very annoying.

It was a bit annoying in True Grit. Sounded like he had a bunch of marbles in his mouth.

Ever since he won the Oscar for playing that drunkard in Crazy Heart it's like he has tried to recreate that character in every movie he's in.
True Grit
RIPD
The Seventh Son
The Giver
He plays the same character in each of these. They are just set in different time periods/worlds.

he was okay in Tron Legacy

He sounds like it in interviews too. Which is kind of weird, because he sounded like The Dude in interviews after Big Lebowski came out.
I don't think actors who grow up in Hollywood have real accents of their own. Just look at Leo.

Yeah. He was.
He was also reprising a character he had already played in the 80s.
It would have been really strange to start portraying him as a drunkard.

I just assumed he was getting old and his voice reflects that.
Posted on 8/25/16 at 10:11 am to TideSaint
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

This was a very bad movie, but I somehow managed to watch the entire thing. It was Men in Black on meth.

Ever since he's won that Oscar, dude has done nada outside of maybe True Grit.

He absolutely believed he was a drunk pirate for almost a decade

I think he's become a slightly watered down Hunter Thompson. At least, that's what I'm seeing in the interviews he does.
He and Amber Heard had always struck me as the kind of people who pick up hitchhikers, bring them home and torture them to death for their own amusement. He's completely artificial and she's a dead-eyed, omni-sexual weirdo.

He is the Aviator in The Little Prince, new to Netflix. Great movie by the way. He sounds ok there, but easy to recognize.

Yeah, I was very impressed with this movie. It's really beautiful.

I thought you were talking about Jeff Bridges and was totally lost for a second.

I forgot about Little Prince. Great movie and his voice was fine there.

I do enjoy listening to Jeff Bridges and the Abiders though.
