Dustin Hoffman

2 Time Academy Award Winner for Best Actor

Since we just took a look at the 98th Academy Awards, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at Dustin Hoffman rocking his Pepsi GMT-Master while accepting an Oscar.

Dustin Hoffman is considered to be one of the best actors of his generation. He has starred in so man iconic movies including, The Graduate (1967), Midnight Cowboy (1969), Little Big Man (1970), Straw Dogs (1971), Papillon (1973), Lenny (1974), All The President's Men (1976), Marathon Man (1976), Straight Time (1979), Kramer v. Kramer (1979 pictured above), Tootsie (1982), Death Of A Salesman (1985), Rainman (1988), Hook (1991), Outbreak (1995), just to name a few.

Dustin Hoffman is pictured below at an awards ceremony sporting his Pepsi Rolex GMT Master which he also wore in several movies including Straw Dogs and Marathon Man.

T. Walker Lloyd, who was a Rolex U.S.A. executive shared a fascinating story with me in a podcast about how he gave Dustin Hoffman his Rolex GMT Master.

Dustin Hoffman's most iconic and famous role was perhaps in the graduate, which debuted in 1967 and featured the equally iconic Simon and Garfunkel song, Mrs. Robinson.

Here's To You Mrs. Robinson

Simon & Garfunkel's Mrs. Robinson song is one of the most iconic songs of all time, as well as being the theme song from Mrs. Robinson.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?

Our Nation Turns Its Lonely Eyes To You

What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?

Joltin' Joe has left and gone away 

Dustin Hoffman was known for his quirky personality which we witness in this Volkswagen Fastback Sedan commercial.

The Dude Abides

The Big Lebowski

27th Anniversary

It's hard to believe it has been more than a quarter century since the Coen Brothers cult classic movie, The Big Lebowski debuted with Jeff Bridges playing The Dude.

Jeff Bridges is one of the most famous Rolex wearers as he has pretty much only worn Rolex his whole life, not to mention his father Lloyd Bridges also wore Rolex watches his whole life.

We see Jeff Bridges in the photos below from the 1976 King Kong movie and notice he is wearing his Rolex Submariner.

In these next two image from the classic 1984 movie "Against All Odds", we see Jeff Bridges wearing his Rolex Submariner and in the second photo, we see him driving a Porsche 911 Cabriolet.

In the next image, we see Jeff Bridges holding up his Oscar trophy for Best Actor and if you look closely you can see Jeff is wearing his fathers yellow gold Rolex Submariner.

Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, and Steve Buscemi recently got together with the Today show to discuss the impact that The Big Lebowski had on the world. For many people, Jeff Bridges will always be The Dude!

Jeff Bridges

Rolex Submariner Keeping The Time Of His Life

Academy Award Winning Best Actor

Jeff Bridges is one of the most accomplished actors in history. He grew up in Hollywood with his famous actor father, Lloyd Bridges. Lloyd Bridges starred in groundbreaking TV series named SEA-HUNT, where he played action adventure scuba diver, Mike Nelson, and from that point forward he wore Rolex Submariner models, as does his son Jeff Bridges to this day. We see this in the recent photo below of Jeff Bridges.

Jeff Bridges has acted in so many famous roles in his lifelong acting career, and in this article we will take a look at some of them, and most  importantly we will explore how through his career he has worn Rolex Submariner models only. It is a fact that Jeff Bridges has been wearing Rolex Submariner models for at least forty years!!!!

King Kong Rolex

Jeff Bridges Rolex Submariner

1976

Jeff Bridges is pictured below wearing his stainless steel Rolex Submariner with his beautiful costar, Jessica Lange in the 1976 version of King Kong.

The original King Kong from 1933 is one of my favorite movies of all time and I only saw the 1976 version once, in 1976. I am excited to watch it again and if I can get any more screen captures, I will add them to this story. Thanks Peter!!!!

It's cool how Jeff Bridges Submariner matches his Nikon camera. Jeff Bridges is wearing a Rolex Submariner Reference 5512.

It is also funny that the only thing I remember from this movie which I saw when I was a kid, is how pretty Jessica Lange was!?! ;-)

Speaking of Jeff Bridges wearing his Rolex Submariner in a 1976 movie...Day before yesterday, I ran a story on Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing his yellow gold Rolex GMT-Master, and in the photo below we seem both Jeff and Arnold together, back in the day...staring together in the 1976 movie titled, "Stay Hungry." Talk about two super-iconic Hollywood actors...

Against All Odds Submariner from 1984

Against All Odds is really the quintessential 1980s movie; Jeff Bridges, Red Porsche 911 Cabriolet, and a Stainless Steel Submariner...Dude, you're into it!!!

The care race scene in Against All Odds is one of the most epic of all time, but I would not recommend trying this at home. Turn the volume way up!!!!!

We heard Phil Collins sing this beautiful song a few days ago that was the title song from the soundtrack. This time without the mullet. I Want My MTV!!!

The Dude Abides

The Big Lebowski

It's hard to believe it has been 22 years since the Coen Brothers cult classic movie, The Big Lebowski debuted with Jeff Bridges playing The Dude.

Speaking of iconic, in the photo below we see Jeff Bridges playing "The Dude" in The Big Lebowski...

Jeff Bridges, John Goodman & Steve Buscemi

Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, and Steve Buscemi recently got together with the Today show to discuss the impact that The Big Lebowski had on the world. For many people, Jeff Bridges will always be The Dude!

TRON

LEGACY

A few years ago we took a look Jeff Bridges at Jeff Bridges starring in the TRON sequel which was pretty, pretty good!!!

A few years ago Jeff Bridges won the Academy Award for Best Actor, and he is just as timeless as the Rolex Submariner watches he and his father Lloyd Bridges have worn their entire careers!!! TRON Legacy was extremely innovative as it was perhaps the first movie that used technology to make an actor look much younger, in a realistic way, without using AI, which didn't exist at the time.

And The Winner Is....

Rolex Coolness: Jeff Bridges

Wins 2010 Academy Award Oscar For Best Actor

[Generations Wearing Rolex Submariner Models]

Jeff Bridges won the Academy Award Oscar in 2010 for playing the leading role in the movie Crazy Heart!!! After an amazing career, at age 60, this was Jeff Bridges very first Oscar he won. In his acceptance speech he praised his parents by saying:

"Thank you Mom and Dad, for turning me on to such a groovy profession. Oh, my dad and my mom, they loved showbiz so much...I feel an extension of them. You know, this...is honoring them as much as it is me."

Just before the Academy Awards began, Jeff Bridges was asked if he had a good luck charm with him, and he responded that he was wearing his father's gold Rolex!!!! There is a photo of his father, Lloyd Bridges wearing his yellow gold Submariner that Jeff is referring to, later in this story.

In real life, Jeff Bridges is an accomplished guitarist and singer. In the photo below we see Jeff Bridges during filming of Crazy Heart and he is sporting his trademark two-tone Rolex Submariner.
