Beverly Hills, California – Beau Bridges’ late father, Lloyd, gave him priceless advice on how to take on Hollywood early in his career.
At the Beverly Hills Film Festival, Beau told Fox News Digital that the advice he received from his famous father was simple: “Just to respect people. That’s what his main thing was.”
At the event, the “Matlock” star was accompanied by his son, Ezekiel Bridges. The father-son duo attended the festival to promote their movie, “Welcome to Klyde’s Kitchen.”
On the red carpet, Ezekiel told Fox News Digital that working with his dad was “amazing.”
