Actor Reveals Lebowski Fan Theory That Donnie Never Existed in Film

#665 - Jeff Bridges
"One of the fans came up with me and he said, I've got a theory I want to run by you. My theory is that Donnie doesn't exist. He's only a figment of Walter's imagination. The Dude talks to him once. Walter speaks to him all the time, but the Dude kind of ignores him."
Bridges validated a fan theory suggesting Steve Buscemi's character Donnie may have been a hallucination of John Goodman's Walter character in The Big Lebowski. He pointed out the Dude only addresses Donnie once in the film, and suggested a missing scene where the Dude asks a coroner for fake ashes to placate Walter's delusion.
