Jeff Bridges on his 2010’s Tron: Legacy look

Jeff Bridges got candid on his recreated young look in 2010’s Tron: Legacy.

“I wasn’t particularly fond of that recreation of myself,” he recalled during a conversation on a recent episode of Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, talking about the Joseph Kosinski sequel that used a still “new” de-aging process through computer scanning, recreating his rejuvenated look.

“I thought I looked more like Bill Maher than myself,” he added humorously.

The veteran and Tron actor also reminisced on the techniques used back then to create the neon digital world.

“It was shot in 70 millimetre black-and-white, hand-tinted by a bunch of ladies in Korea, I think,” he recalled.

“We had black duvetyne, it was this set with white adhesive tape on the thing. Everybody was encouraged to wear colourful clothes ’cause … our suits were all black, but you would go outside after a day’s work of being in that black-and-white atmosphere and — boom! — colour would just run into you.”

Bridges will return to his role of video game creator Kevin Flynn, in Tron: Ares starring Jared Leto, slated for release Oct. 10, 2025, in a cameo appearance.

Zachary endorses Donald Trump

Zachary Levi is rooting for Donald Trump.

The action comedy series, Chuck star endorsed Donald Trump at a rally in Michigan on Saturday, along with former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and ex Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

“We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again. We are going to make it healthy again,” Levi asserted while on stage.

“And so, I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump.”

He continued, “Because I do believe, of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump is the man that can get us there.”

“And he’s gonna get us there because he’s gonna have the backing and the support and the wisdom and the knowledge and the fight that exists in Robert Kennedy Jr. and former representative Tulsi Gabbard.”

The Shazam! actor also shared why he thinks what he thinks.

“I grew up in a family that was Christian conservative, that was pretty much the lane that we were in,” he said.

“My parents were Kennedy Democrats who then turned into Reagan Republicans, and they taught me to have a healthy level of distrust for the government and a healthy level of distrust for industry that runs amok.”

Levi made clear this his first choice was Kennedy — who backed out from running for president in August — but after him, he chooses Trump.

Michael Bublé recalls adding Spider-Man song in ‘The Best of Bublé’

Michael Bublé has recently explained why he incorporated Spider-Man song in his latest album, The Best of Bublé.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Michael admitted, “I wanted to be Spider-Man. I still think I’m Spider-Man. I am a huge comic book nerd. I always thought it was cool that on stage I became my alter ego — Peter Parker was me in real life and Spider-Man was me on stage.”

The musician revealed it wasn’t easy “convincing” his producers to record the song and include in his latest collection.

Recalling the song he recorded in the early 2000s, Michael mentioned, “The producer hated it. He didn’t get it or the cultural relevance of it. He’s like, ‘Yeah, man. I thought it was kind of stupid.’”

Michael opened up that the song was featured in the closing credits of 2004’s Spider-Man 2 and went on to become one of singer’s first singles.

The musician shared, “The girl who worked for the record company, her job was to guesstimate the number of copies I would sell in my lifetime. She had guessed that I would do from 50 to 150,000 copies.”

“And I asked her recently [why she lowballed it so much], and she said, ‘Chicken, your first single was Spider-Man. What was I supposed to think?’” he told the outlet.

However, Michael mentioned that the song was his personal favourite.

“I put ‘Spider-Man‘ on the ‘Best Of‘ record because my kids listened to that song 50 billion times… And there is not an Uber ride or a trip to a shopping mall that someone doesn’t walk up to me and say, ‘Oh my God, my kids listen to Spider-Man 62 times a day.’ It was like, ‘Come on, this has to go on there,’” pointed out the musician.

Reflecting on his new album, Michael added, “It was really more important for me to share in a sentimental way the songs that were my favorites and ones that had emotional value.”
