Matt Damon – Jeff Bridges: Sustain Their True Grit Despite Golden Globe Snub
December 15th, 2010 - 2:59 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
Matt and Jeff Bridges along with Hailee Steinfeld a 14year old newcomer reprised the roles made famous by John Wayne in the 1969 film True Grit. As the one-eye patched Marshall Reuben ‘Rooster’ Cogburn helped Wayne to receive an Academy award and this time it is Bridges who has taken up the challenge. Matt plays the role of LaBoeuf a Texas Ranger who too undertakes the journey along with Cogburn and the young girl Mattie Ross played by Steinfeld.
It was actually young Steinfeld who showed immense grit to stand her ground while sharing the screen space with actors like Damon and Bridges. Even though remade film by the Coen brothers failed to get nod from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the teenager received oodles of praises from the critics. The film is also expected to land few Academy Award nominations too.
Apart from the cast of the film True Grit the red carpet premiere was attended by stars like Gretchen Mol, she showed off her baby bump proudly, the host of Top Chef series Padma Lakshmi was also present along with Matt’s wife Lucia.
