Jeff Bridgesisn’t ruling out a sequel toTheBig Lebowski.
While chatting with PEOPLE about his partnership with AstraZeneca for itsUp the Antibodies campaign, the Oscar-winning actor, 73, reflected on how the cult-classic crime-comedy filmcelebrated its 25th anniversarythis year and revealed he is open to reprising his fan-favorite role.
“Oh God! If the brothers were involved, I certainly would,” Bridges says, referring toJoel and Ethan Coen, who wrote, produced and directed the 1998 movie.
“The brothers, they’re mysterious and full of surprises,” he adds. “You don’t know what they’re going to do, so since they’re surprising, I don’t think they’ll make a sequel. But like I say, they’re surprising, so maybe they’ll surprise me and make a sequel.”

Continuing to speak aboutThe Big Lebowski’s impact all these years later, Bridges says he “cannot believe” that it’s been over two decades since the film was released in theaters.
“That movie, I’m so proud to be a part of that movie. What a good one,” the star adds. “When you hearLebowskiwas 25 years ago, I say, ‘Come on, man. I can’t believe that.’ It feels like it was maybe five years ago, but 25? I can’t believe it.”
