Actor and jazz musician Jeff Goldblum in full bloom

Actor Jeff Goldblum, known for playing offbeat and unpredictable characters in such films as "Jurassic Park," "Independence Day" and "The Fly," brings his improvisational gifts to music as well, releasing his first jazz album with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. Anthony Mason talks with Goldblum about his characters, his career, and a life that is as lively as a jazz riff.

Jeff Goldblum is the coolest man alive.

[@gerrynightingale9045]

**I guess he wasn't 'cool enough' for Geena Davis, though...neither one talks about, so...?**

[@laurentdagnicourt4406]

Il est fabuleux! Et... Je pèse mes mots! Il doit avoir du sang français! Joke... Vive la France!

[@mov-e6612]

I don't know why. I find him so hilarious in everything he does. Although he is such a smooth cool guy.

[@TheOne-bv8wi]

Yeeeeeeeesss!!!!

[@maxnorton1209]

Jeff Goldblum is an international treasure.

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

You can say that again!

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

@Flame Resistant Troll A Jeff Goldblum statue? Where do I sign?

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

Can we make a Jeff Goldblum world holiday? This man is truly a treasure upon the Earth!

[@danlum304]

just saw Jeff live in Hawaii with his orchestra. He came out onstage early, alone, and relaxed, wearing an Aloha shirt and just talked story with the smallish audience and just charmed everyone with his humor, intelligence, and sharp wit. Could've just listened to him carry on all night, it was so fun. Oh, and the concert was just fabulous, he's an excellent player, as are his band members.

[@kristiLB93]

I met his mom once in Pittsburgh. She was sweet and down to earth. She didn’t want to reveal or brag about her famous son even though the people in the store where I met her kept nudging her too. I’ve always liked him!

[@Jedizen07]

" Nicompoopery? " God, I love Jeff.

[@KuromiBlackheart]

We must remember actors can be a funny thing, but there is a reason for their funniness. Despite his funny disposition, when he got quiet. You can tell he's suffered a lot, family loss is no laughing mater after all so that's likely a sensitive topic for him. He's still one of my favorite actors and I absolutely love him!

[@nightstar1990]

He is the most charming, lovely, gorgeous man alive!

[@mickyunit]

I've always enjoyed Jeff Goldblum. Very happy to see he is just getting better with age AND enjoying his new family. Nice interview! Congratulations on the album, too!

[@avieda]

Jeff is in peace with himself. i always like him.he is fantastic !

[@sheilakay4138]

Jeff Goldblum is the Ultimate Zaddy!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@emanuelladiasteixeira5162]

Whats means "zaddy"?

[@corinnewinterrousset]

I just love love love me some Jeff Goldblum. He’s an original.

[@kerrydehorney2949]

Omg I used to be so in love with this man. I was in higher school. 💗

[@AGeorge-d6d]

Omg I've loved him since I was 8 and everyone thought i was crazy! Lol

[@jkstubbington]

Fuller and freer than ever🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💫💫💫💫💫❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheOne-bv8wi]

This man, my friends is why I can't watch Jurassic Park without swooning. Thanks Jeff Goldblum! LOL❤❤❤

[@RemAtmos]

Jeff is such a beautiful soul

[@akbarlebowitz8151]

I first caught wind of Mr. Goldblum in the short lived ABC TV show "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe" in 1980 with Ben Vereen.

[@bluekitty3731]

Me too! I had such a crush!

[@luceandvan4181]

Independence Day at like 13 years old was my awakening for him... I need to see his jazz show!!!

[@_innerpeacekeeper]

He is an inspiration. I love him #latebloomer

[@Archer335]

I like Mr. Goldblum’s energy. He doesn’t seem to take himself, or life, too seriously - a very good thing. But I’ll always wonder what the heck his mantra was. (Annie Hall)

[@mov-e6612]

Yeah, he seems like an open minded honest guy

[@TheOne-bv8wi]

Same!😂😂😂 I forgot my mantra! LOL

[@brainflash1]

"Elbow Room, called Jeff Goldbum"

[@Annie.xx-xx]

Jeff was brilliant in Earth girls are easy and has been amazing ever since. More Goldblum films please. 💟💟💟💟

[@otineb5]

I like Jeff Goldblum, he's got a great vibe about him. Good for him, and I'd like to purchase his debut Jazz album.

[@chilidrummer8333]

This man keeps getting more and more fascinating. Although I don't know him in person, I'm convinced that his overall personality is simply beautiful. He seems to enjoy life to the fullest, in any happiness causing way possible. Pure joy and love, always gentle and classy, with deep thoughts and feelings. In total, his being is very admirable. I respect this human and his nature a lot. And by the way: Does someone know which glasses he wears? They are great!

[@Kurosawa3]

Haven't seen the show in ages. Forgot how solid it was. Happened to catch this segment yesterday. Really enjoyed it. How has this guy become more handsome as he has aged. I'm jealous lol. Thank God It's Friday anyone?

[@007NowOnline]

*Such a great actor, musician and personality. Love his demeanor and quarks. Also, just saw his interview on Kevin Nelsons Hiking youtube channel. Very fun. :)*

[@mickyunit]

Recently discovered that channel myself and am loving it!

[@007NowOnline]

@@mickyunit IKR!! Its a great little gem on youtube. Its very relaxing to watch and listen to when trying to fall asleep.

[@gracemartin415]

Jeff Goldbloom was also in the movie, Powder, nine months, and was the voice actor of Moses brother Aaron in the DreamWorks animated movie, the prince of Egypt.

[@Zanaaa50]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), The Big Chill (1983)...

[@thedivineenergy]

*I love Powder! Its one of my favorite movies. 😍*

[@alfababy7038]

powder was such a beautiful film!!!!

[@raccoonchronicles5134]

Love that movie!!

[@lizs2260]

"Fuller and fruitier than ever," I'll say! Gotta love him. A tall drink of cool.

[@xo.shyria]

[@dardar1434]

[@divinechord7]

Oh boy, oh boy, I love this man so much

[@solopolo]

More Cooking with Jeff please.

[@ColtonRDean]

I wish I....could....uh....master my quirks...........as well as Jeff Goldblum....uh....has.

[@TheOne-bv8wi]

Yes!!!!!!!

[@markwilliams352]

Two weeks ago I discovered Jeff was an accomplished jazz musician. I've always admired him and had always wondered why he was so cool-even a bit soulful-rather than just your smart, generic nerd, The discovery of his jazz background explained a great deal.

[@sandralyn5869]

I just LOVE Jeff Goldblum! Theres no other way to put it.

[@christianhansen3292]

sweet glad he found love!

[@jbphoto360]

Great interview

[@JamesWalker-em4eo]

Man I remember when I was little and first seeing him on the show Ten Speed and Brown Shoes

[@toddst.george6511]

The 15 people who disliked this piece hate life.

[@emeldamcdowald8521]

Todd St. George they are a bunch of miserable sods

[@sushi2693]

I live how he has his own portraits in his house 😂

[@marymenatti9175]

Loved him since the Fly. I'm a piano player and he played in the movie. Love the strut in the end of Independence Day. Love the beep ride with a dinosaur chasing. When he's got a large role, I wanna see the movie.

[@troydevolld9793]

You all at Sunday Morning produce fabulous segments. Engaging stuff every time.

[@clurkroberts2650]

Agreed…One of the best shows of the week.

[@garrettq1977]

Give this man his own late night talk show. Maybe even prime time 9:00 Central. He is a national treasure and very interesting.

[@ipekkutlu78]

Beautiful human being❤️

[@joankimball8685]

Was listening to the Jazz station on car radio the music was awesome. Looked to see artist it read as Jeff Goldberg asked my phone if this was the actor Jeff Goldberg my phone confirmed as much. Went on to play another selection once again . . . AWESOME

[@Nkosinati]

Loved this guy since "Holy Man"... I don't know if Goldblum is a comedic genius, but i am certain that whoever made Goldblum is a comedic genius. The dude is just hilarious to me, even when he's clearly not trying to be...

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

There's something so weird and amazing about this man. I'm simply hypnotized by him since my childhood in the 90s. Jeff is unique, no question about it.

[@mov-e6612]

I feel you man 😂

[@RyanKentBarnhart]

Nincompoopery, the most Jeff Goldblum word ever...

[@aiai-j7i]

You gotta love this man! And his adorable wife and little ones!

[@nebraskafrankcourtny]

I'll bet he's a good writer!

[@dorothylewis4185]

I love him and with age he is just to Sexy

[@emeldamcdowald8521]

Dorothy Lewis the older he gets the better he looks👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️

[@superbug1977]

A father at that age. Excellent! Keep it up. And you know what I mean.

[@freepalestine98]

Jeff Goldblum... I love you brother...

[@ExposedRoot]

It’s amazing how the older he gets the better looking and sexier he is. Compare him as a young man who was really nothing to look at and then watch him through the years as he gets even more and more handsome.

[@shawncurtis6222]

He is one of a kind just the Best

[@sahirisrodriguez6960]

Jeff Goldblum muchas felicitaciones por tu excelente trabajo saludos y muchas cosas bellas para ti.

[@jeffnaslund]

My wife is from Pittsburgh. Love that connection

[@sprtcsjj981]

So you could say, he's Goldblooming! Lol!

[@dianasoriano2618]

His babies are precious 😍

[@spdadventurer1754]

Jeff should be a life coach😍😍😎😎there's no way people listening to him would quit on their lives or stop listening to him...he's such a pure soul, preaches what how he acts..and even the dumbest of humans would listen to him as his "quirk" would hold them and captivate them😂😂😎😎😘😘😇😇May Mr Goldblum live forever

[@freddysands]

A unique soul indeed

[@lazarolerman5126]

What extraordinary human being.

[@lynnehenderson4140]

"nincompoopery" LOVE IT!!!

[@andythompson3707]

I love his nincompoopery

[@01_SPACE_C0WB0Y]

6:19 man that really hurts to see, I've never seen Jeff like that.

[@suzanneschulz8479]

I remember when he was married to Gina Davis great couple then

[@monumento.f.501]

naked gun era.

[@dottiec7943]

That's what I remember a tall couple perfectly suited to each other.

[@mikeincalifornia]

I do too. They made "Earth Girls Are Easy." Great title, funny movie.

[@skyavalanche]

Hipster Personified

[@marsonsaturn]

Not so far and yet Soo absurd

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

I bet Jeff Goldblum gives Jeff Goldblum ASMR tingles. He was so brilliant in "The Life Aquatic", he nearly over shadowed Bill Murray, but not quite.

[@richardnone5644]

this was a great interview i love jeff he is my 2nd idle i am my first idle ha ha ha and i also have a young pretty wife no more kids i am happy to say

[@JerseyGurl4Life]

Love❤ me some Jeff!

[@altonbradley717]

Nincompoopery. I will never forget this one...

[@sahirisrodriguez6960]

De verás que estoy emocionada muchas Bendiciones .

[@gerrydooley951]

He is endlessly entertaining, Goldblum's not bad either

[@JayKayKay7]

Remember 'Ten Speed and Brownshoe' TV series with Ben Vereen?

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

Yup.

[@chado3000]

I love his new album, and the fact that he's bringing up and coming artists with him on it. Namely, Haley Reinhart (My baby just cares for me). Check it out.

[@danielkbarton]

Looks like he's a great guy, good interview.

[@cminor99]

Yes, Jeff Goldblum is the coolest, sexiest, most wonderful man alive.

[@laurentdagnicourt4406]

En plus, il est beau. Cà m'énerve!!!

[@justinwmusic]

Glasses game -- so strong

[@rudyrush6015]

the 17 dislikes are people who have run out of Goldblum.

[@PrettyLittleKai]

my boo ❤️

[@boogiedownbronx73]

I just love this man....i look like I could be his son btw

[@Through_The_Lens]

Awesome guy. Would love to meet.

[@andreaschneider6202]

@Through_The_Lens Thank you for your comment. I unexpectedly had met him in Manhattan for which I feel extremely fortunate. In my modest opinion, he is the most gracious, humble person with whom I ever conversed. Best wishes, Andrea S.

[@stevenmorris3181]

More Haley Rinehart at the jazz pub please!!!

[@FacheChanteDeux]

His sons are gorgeous::)).

[@beaconterraoneonline]

falls into the category of imperfect perfect human beings. yep.

[@slmeucalesa1]

Favor line from that entire movie....

[@annabee148]

“Look for schools with ramps” lmao

[@80sruler]

Cool Cat

[@katie4623]

The interviewer looked 10 times cooler and more stylish and modern when he put on Jeff’s glasses.

[@andreaslindblom9140]

Who the f**k wanna be normal!!? Onwards and upwards, my good Sir!

[@rascalrollins3587]

I didn’t know 😵

[@sahirisrodriguez6960]

[@diggerdanielg752]

Why didn't you talk about "Thank God It's Friday" I really own a copy of the movie!

[@gerrynightingale9045]

*I still would like to know 'What happened with Geena?'*

[@BangkokJackk]

His smile reminds me of......... Liberace!

[@eipnvn3976]
