When Pedro Pascal and Jeff Bridges combined for ‘the greatest set-up and punchline ever’

John Plunkett. Updated April 30th, 2024

Here’s a rather fabulous exchange which went viral after the great Jeff Bridges said he was keen on doing a third Tron movie.

Jeff Bridges is returning for "Tron 3" and says he's "really anxious to work with [Jared Leto]."

He also says: "I didn’t like the way I looked in ['Tron: Legacy']. I felt like I looked more like Bill Maher than myself. It was kind of bizarre."https://t.co/RZeRLSiuHJ pic.twitter.com/kQpcpRIA0K

And apart from prompting excitement and speculation about what a sequel to Tron: Legacy would look like, it also prompted @cstegman to share this clip of Bridges with Last of Us star Pedro Pascal and lots of other Hollywood greats.

And it’s all sorts of magnificent.
