Jeff Bridges has revealed a new blog to speak directly to his fans while he battles Cancer. The Big Lebowski star revealed that he had Lymphoma on social media and the outcry was immediate. On the site he linked to on Twitter, people can read about his progress themselves. But, in an added twist, these notes from Bridges are handwritten and not just some typed PR statements. His words are colorful and thoughtful, just like the man himself. Those letters also have a watercolor quality to them which is just delightful to look at. It’s not hard to imagine that the crafting of these notes is a way to navigate the unknown. However, despite the gravity of Cancer, the movie star isn’t letting it get him down. In fact, he seems to be gaining clarity from each passing day and interaction with his fans.
