Something about Jeff Goldblum you just gotta like. He is such a unique guy, but, so kind and gentle. His enthusiasm to share thoughts and words with people is great.

[@wisdomprepper]

Yes yes, ummm, ummm, yes, he is...umm, yes, yes, one of those mmmmm, an amazing person really. Mmmmm, yes yes.

[@Ric0806]

​@@wisdomprepperwell played😉👍🏾

[@alfredotebasco]

I have his birthday on my calendar, he's adorable, a true nerds nerd, I don't know how anyone could dislike the man.

[@Djamonja]

Have you ever seen the movie "The Fly"? I think that was the first movie I saw him in, and it is weird to think of him in that role now because as you said, he just seems so gentle.

[@paparuss9466]

Yea, he seems to be a great person ☀️🤙🏼

[@84paratize]

There will never be another Jeff Goldblum!

[@biblebadcopycatofcuneiform8210]

Each chosen incarnation is different.

[@catoob8298]

Jeff's brain is speeding along faster than his tongue can speak, and it all comes out so fun and pleasant. The BIG CHILL would not have been the same without "Michael".

[@cuchelo1]

Jeff Goldblum is the epitome of the phrase, "Marching to the beat of your own drummer" in the most positive way.

[@michellemiles9966]

Jimmy's right. Jeff can make any topic interesting.

[@StephenMWest]

Jeff Goldblum is the best guest ever, always smiling, always sincere, genuine and real. I would really like to meet him, such an interesting character.

[@Sindollx666x]

Couldn't agree more. I think we'd both find each other interesting.❤

[@marymacgregor6952]

Yes, great story teller too.

[@adityabhattacharya3068]

I would love to hear a long conversation between Jeff Goldblum, James Spader and Nick Offerman

[@AlisVolatPropiis]

I like your taste! Makes total sense!

[@abh15funk]

Oh yeah ! Need an interview of James Spader. He is another classic actor who is a fav of mine from those times.

[@friendlier]

Well, DANG, that cheered me right up. Goldblum is a treasure.

[@rockergirl6926]

I know!

[@tbecker97204]

Jimmy's right about Jeff Goldblum. Jeff is *ALWAYS* a delight to listen to with his interesting style of storytelling. Always very lively!

[@BairMendoza]

Jeff is one of the most chill, intelligent and talented people on the planet. 👍🏼😇

[@bookbwitched6823]

Well said. He never fails to engage & I feel somehow 'More Than I Was'. Like he gave me a gift or erased a veil that hid part of myself from me.

[@ShoshinManga]

What a well spoken guest

[@jt.8144]

It's called talking NORMAL... try that instead of copy and paste and texting.

[@unitedwestand5205]

standing ovation when he enters, the ppl love Jeff Goldblum

[@runnergo1398]

Jeff has been well spoken for many years. I appreciate it a lot as well.

Jeff Goldblum is a treasure. He's like Walken, pretty much just being himself in movies. An iconic presence.

He can make any conversation interesting 😂

[@dougmackenzie5976]

He be good for the Senate or house of reps

[@eternaut9729]

Jeff Goldblum does the best Jeff Goldblum impression.

[@christopherporter2459]

Lmao that's so funny

[@GGoAwayy]

Its crazy how just 2 seconds into the interview he's already behaving so iconically like Jeff Goldblum. It is literally impossoble to overdo an impersonation of this guy. He himself is already 1000000% Goldblum.

[@Monika-mh2je]

I was thinking a same. You just ask 1 question ,than the story telling starting. He's so loveable. 😂

[@robinzwald6125]

Love watching Jeff Goldblum talking about his sons. The love he has for his sons shows on his face.

[@lw3269]

"Must go faster". Love Jeff Goldblum. Would pay good money to see him interviewed at the same time as Aubrey Plaza.

[@mrkdrm]

What a great idea. They should do a movie together too.

Must go faster....love that they put that in ID.....both times it was an emergency ✌️✌️✌️😺

[@rig-zag]

My mother worked in Licensing for the Maine Fish & Wildlife dept, and in the late 80s, she dealt with Jeff Goldblum over the phone to register some antique boat he'd bought. Apparently she went over and above because a couple days later, he called the house to personally thank her and I remember my mother losing her mind. Hes such a genuinely nice guy. Truly a national treasure.

[@mainefem8541]

Fellow Mainer here. Great to hear!

[@D-MARIE77]

Jeff Goldblum is awesome...

[@binoymathew246]

He's a very charming individual. Very iconic. No wonder it feels nice to sit and have a chat with him.

[@lumu76]

Jeff Goldblum is definitely a space alien endeavoring to blend in with the human race. That extra large seventies collar is tops.

[@bookbwitched6823]

@Lumu76 I love your explanation. I dreamed he was an angel a while back, full wings, looking like he did in the FLY {yum}. It was an odd dream that has not faded. He is so engaging, I'm sure he is Empathic but the ability to engage is his superpower☺️ That's his superpower

[@leanordials8008]

Hahaha I think he's starting a trend.

[@sthompson2839]

😊😊

[@foreverealm]

Haha! (If you haven’t seen him in Earth Girls Are Easy, your life is incomplete. I actually like him in The Tall Guy best. Emma Thompson plays opposite (before she became known as a top actress). It’s offbeat hilarious. In the movie, he gets a lead role in London in a musical version of The Elephant Man. And it’s very believable, but sooooo wrong in the funniest of ways.) Yay Jeff Goldblum!

[@Megan80]

I’ve spent three different days with this man. He really is like this.

[@user-ms3jz7ub7n]

Seriously? Lucky you!

[@bookbwitched6823]

Megan? Please tell more? I'm so fascinated with him! He is so engaging & always makes me feel hopeful.

[@senguptasayn]

I have been in love with this gentleman since time immemorial. So suave,so elegant.very inspiring.

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

Same! Back when most of my friends would laugh and say "The Fly?!? Really???" when I told them😂😂😂

[@bookbwitched6823]

​@@debbiedoodiedandi He was gorgeous in that movie! I dreamed he was an angel, huge wingspan & I was so blown away. The dream hasn't faded even though it was a very long time ago.

[@soni8995]

[@oceanwoods]

I saw The Fly as a kid, and have been freaked out by Jeff Goldblum ever since

[@foreverealm]

You MUST see him in The Tall Guy and/or Earth Girls Are Easy. 😁

Master class in being yourself.

I could just listened to Jeff anytime. The passion he has for simplicity, he's truly very entertaining. My favorite movie of his, the classic "Big Chill". Oh i remember Life cereal, one of my favorites childhood cereal. Memories.

[@kevinmcconnell3641]

“Mikie, he likes it”

[@kayeroskaft9619]

Such a pleasure to see Jeff Goldblum. Loved him in Law and Order. Even love him in ads. Simply love him. He is so enthusiastic and celebrates his eccentricity without being egotistical. All of life interests him. What a good friend his family and friends have in him.

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

Some people are just too cool (without even trying) Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Kurt Russell and this guy...

[@user-ms3jz7ub7n]

Jeff should have won the Oscar for The Fly...just brilliant acting.

[@KaitainCPS]

"Cheeseburger."

[@cleverusername9369]

He should win multiple Oscars, the Nobel Prize, be made a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a British Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and be declared Representative for Humanity in the event of an alien encounter, for simply existing

[@larseriksson42]

He still has the Vibes

[@hectornegron9155]

Jeff is so Hollywood. One of my favorite actors since I first saw him in THE BIG CHILL. Btw, he mentioned Spanish filmmaker Fernando Trueba. If you like Latin Jazz or wanna know about it, Fernando made a documentary about it in which he presents some of the biggest names in that genre at the time. It's entitled CALLE 54 and was released on CD and DVD and it’s a great film. If you find it check it out.

Calm down.... He SAID he wasn't a scientist. This is just something people say/do. It doesn't mean anything. He's a scientist alright.

[@johnnolan5579]

There is no one like Jeff Goldblum. Fascinating man.

[@13BravoM109]

Such an amazing actor, and a kind person. My wife was once behind him in the line to board a flight, and for some reason he decided to let her go ahead of him. He was very nice to her, talked with her during the boarding. That was more than 25 years ago, but had such a profound impact on her that she still talks about it on a regular basis. She always begins with the same sentence - "Oh, he is SO TALL!" Really an amazing man.

[@tenareif1013]

Jimmy’s correct. I adore listening to Jeff Goldblum. He is just “fun”. Any topic works. He’s so damn interesting & has such a sweet & generous spirit. 🥰👍👏👏👏
