11 June 2010 - In a recent interview for the Japan Times, Jeff Bridges talks about his new upcoming movie "TRON: Legacy," a sequel from "TRON" which he played in 1982. In the movie the actor played a caracter trapped inside a video game.

Bridges says, "When I made 'TRON,' the idea of being stuck in a video game was pretty wild. It was total fiction. But today, it seems like a lot of kids are stuck inside computers. I have one grandkid who . . . well, anyway, if I had to get trapped inside something, I'd rather it be a guitar or even a temporary marijuana haze than in a video game, and certainly not in a computer."

There were those who felt Bridges was endangering his chances of aw ard recognition by mentioning in press and even TV interviews that "from time to time" he likes "to smoke a joint."
