"Jeff Bridges has praised his True Grit co-star Hailee Steinfeld for her maturity.  The actor told Movieline that he admires the 14-year-old&amp;#039;s ability to &amp;quot;appreciate&amp;quot; her age and for not growing up too fast despite being part of Hollywood.  &amp;quot;Just as a person, she has a real sweetness and a generosity of spirit, and I think a lot of that to a large degree comes from how she was raised,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;Most kids who are 13 or 14 years old are really chomping at the bit to start dating and getting in cars and all that stuff. And Hailee doesn&amp;#039;t seem too eager to be older than she is. She&amp;#039;s really appreciating her age. And in a very odd way, that makes her more mature.&amp;quot; Bridges was also impressed with Steinfeld&amp;#039;s approach to her True Grit role.  &amp;quot;It was a very difficult role, I think, for any actor at any age. She got her tongue around those words, and she made it look easy. But that was a lot of studying and a great work ethic to come up with that,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;All the skills - or talents, I guess - that actors wish they had, she&amp;#039;s got them in spades.&amp;quot; Steinfeld was recently nominated for a &amp;#039;Best Supporting Actress&amp;#039; Oscar for her role in the film.
