Bridges has appeared on display screen since he was simply six months previous and would depart college to hitch his father on the set of his sequence.

“The way he approached his work with such joy [was admirable] and that was the main thing I learned from him… Whenever he came on the set, that joy was kind of contagious and everybody would say, hey, this is kind of fun, what we’re doing to get to play, dance, pretend here with all these great folks and we can have a good time.”

Bridges says he was fortunate to work together with his father a couple of occasions as an grownup and that the power to create a calming and enjoyable atmosphere that allowed artists to flourish was one thing he needed to duplicate in his personal work.

On set, he meets with each artistic participating in his movies and exhibits, from costume designers to the manufacturing crew.

“That’s such an important aspect of my work, getting a perspective from their take… all these things start to come together and they have a cumulative effect on how your character comes off, and they’re thinking of it from a completely different point of view.

“That is very precious to me, you understand, to listen to the historical past, why the individual bought that exact piece of clothes and what not.”

Season two of The Outdated Man is out there to stream on Disney+ from 6 November.
