That one time when Ford was almost The Dude
From what I remember he was gonna be barely surviving for those 30 years..
I also think Mcgucket being the one with a beard that long makes more sense? Ford would probably find some way to shave for convenience out there.
That being said, meeting an AU Ford with a beard would be a cool call-back.
To give context
In the interview with Alex, there is a version of Ford where he was basically a hippie, chilled out, zen dude. The intention was to give Stan someone who was a polar opposite to Stanβs aggressive and brash behavior.
They were trying to get Jeff Bridges to voice Ford (who plays The Dude in The Big Lebowski).
Stuff happened, they didnβt like the character, they could get Jeff Bridges and the character changed and evolved into who we know now
I think these boards are a small link between these two versions of him
