“stick it”

There’s a movie about gymnastics starring Jeff Bridges and I haven’t seen it? What?? Gymnastics AND Jeff Bridges? I do not care how flat-out cheesy this film may be, I’m gonna have to see it.

Here’s a snippet of an interview I found with Jeff Bridges and a couple of teenage actresses from the film. I love this; so sweet:

NIKKI SOOHOO (Wei Wei Yong):
“Jeff is such an amazing person. One day I was having a bad day and he came into my trailer and serenaded me on the guitar until I stopped crying. I thought that was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done and it really showed me a different side of him.”

BRIDGES:
“It’s almost like a reflex action. You get a girl that is that age and they start to cry, and you just go, ‘Come on, let’s play. Let me show you how to play the guitar.’ So we played some guitar. I thought that she was wonderful in the movie too.”

MADDY CURLEY (Mina Hoyt):
“[Because I was a gymnast] Jeff would ask for advice on being a coach. ‘Maddy, Missy’s character is about to do this vault, now what would I say to her?’ And he’d take everything I said to heart. It was pretty cool to have this amazing actor, I’m like, ‘The Dude is asking me how to coach gymnastics!’”
