Beau Bridges shares dad Lloyd Bridges' golden rule for Hollywood success
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."
"He was my coach in everything back in the day, from soccer to basketball, so it's no different here," he said.

Beau chimed in, "It's a lot of fun. My dad started working with family a long time ago. We all like to do it."
"Just to respect people. That's what his main thing was."
Lloyd passed away in 1998 at 85 from natural causes with Beau, his wife Dorothy and his daughter Cindy by his side, per The Washington Post.
Beau has three siblings, including the famous Jeff Bridges.
Beau has also passed down the advice of "respect" to his own son.
"It comes in a lot of different ways. Respect for the ocean, respect for the planet, respect for the work," Ezekiel said.

"Welcome to Klyde's Kitchen" is a movie "about caring for the forgotten." Along with Beau and Ezekiel, the movie also stars Sana Saeed.
A synopsis of the movie reads: "A brash young business executive (Ezekiel), charged with a DUI, is sentenced to performing community service at a homeless center, where he serves indigents against his will and despite his prejudices. A new visitor, a ragged homeless man (Beau), and the homeless center's manager (Saeed,) teach him the value of caring for the forgotten."
"Welcome to Klyde's Kitchen" has its world premiere at LA Regal Live on July 17.
