[@BobbyLCollins]

He was already the Jeff Goldblum we love in 1989. He's not even exaggerating the vibe he has today.

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

Goldblum was already Goldblum in kindergarten!

[@abigailgarcia3090]

He’s more comfortable with himself now

[@PavelKish]

Good point, Mr. @BobbyCollins. So that's really his awesome unique personality, its not a act or exaggeration.

[@CarlosMunoz-hw1zj]

I think I know what you mean but I do think its very hard not to start playing an exaggerated version of yourself when you're so good being yourself. Think Jack Nicolson, Christopher Walken, and Arnold Swartzenneger.

[@savethecoconutgroveplayhou548]

I always felt no actor could portray Willy Wonka nearly as good as Gene Wilder. As I watched this video the idea came to me Jeff Goldblum could be the one to pull it off.

[@castorchua]

He'd be better than Johnny Depp for sure

[@rezkat6]

your so right. never even considered him.

[@theshapeexists]

Absolutely.

[@kaspinet]

I know Jeff is tall but him standing next to Letterman is like special effects trickery.

[@SheilaD111]

I know! Weird! He’s 6’4. Dave is 6’2. Yet Jeff looks soooo much taller than Dave. Must be the camera angle. 🤔

[@CorbCorbin]

It’s gotta be the Shoes, money!

[@MichaelLasotaTW]

@@SheilaD111 Or the shoes.

[@ORagnar]

A person closer to the camera often looks taller.

[@owenogletree6374]

@@SheilaD111 To be more exact, Dave was about 6'1.5 in his prime, and Jeff was about 6'4.25, so it's actually close to 3 inches between them.

[@bradlafferty6076]

What a personality on this guy

[@chiefscheider]

He was also robbed when the Academy didn't nominate him for The Fly

[@bluebassett2]

Brundlefly... Good flick.

[@chiefscheider]

Watching it I was afraid...very afraid

[@hanselmansell7555]

That mullet deserved and award too 🏆

[@kellymcphaul2793]

His hair is so amazing.

[@DoctorBenway3vil]

Jeff Goldblum is so cool. Always has been and still is.

[@povertyspec9651]

He was amazing in "The Fly"

[@JoanieAdamms]

Jeff playing the Alien before we all knew he was...

[@Orlak3lly]

I could listen to Jeff talk all day! He’s so funny and interesting

[@rosebarreto3544]

He Handson man. I Love him

[@CAKS90983]

Man jeff goldblum is phenomenal his personality is so unique good guy

[@michaeleverett2597]

00:25 Man, I had no idea he was so tall!!! (6'4")

[@2_thumbs_up_baby]

Jeff and his mullet r alright. He's only gotten more strange and wonderful with age 👍

[@JackSilbert]

That was a delightful exchange, thank you!

[@dbus1635]

If you're Jeff Goldblum earth girls WOULD be easy.

[@randomoverpopulatedworldid3286]

thanks for coming back for Jurrasic Park whatever this year 2022, but you're the only one who made it worth watching hon!!!

[@EasyE3939]

I would love to see more of Goldblum on Letterman!

[@SaintMartins]

Now you have to post the Ed Bagley Jr interview where he talks about finding that headless body.....please.

[@jeffreylung6165]

@dongiller could you do this? It’d be great to see

[@MichaelLasotaTW]

Dave @ 42 had a fascinating haircut.

[@freeadrian1144]

10:41 "The question is: Is anything out there? And if so, do they have ray guns?" From Woody Allen's book, Side Effects.

[@bradlafferty6076]

10 speed and brown shoe, this is a blast from the past

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

Yes Earth Girls Are Easy! What a classic!

[@Brainbuster]

Jim Carrey's big break.

[@paulhammons7077]

Lol awesome to see this. The day's when we were young

[@evenflowsteven]

Crazy story about being robbed. Also crazy is that Ed Begley was was stabbed and mugged 17 years prior to this interview (1972), and he nearly died.

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

Must be a bad neighbourhood

[@lorip.1110]

So, the moral of the story is to steer clear of Ed Begley Jr.

[@CorbCorbin]

Obviously. 😄

[@whenfatkillsfat803]

Well, he was the first drummer of Spinal Tap.

[@jacktorrance9973]

Jeff the fly Forever

[@YouTube-tied]

I wish they would make another season of "The World According To Jeff Goldblum".

[@boppob1343]

New season just cameo ut

[@joelsines7083]

Always a gentleman.

[@kstepko]

Curl Up and Dye? Good one.

[@whenfatkillsfat803]

Brand new girl!

[@gerardodwyer5908]

A shout out to Geena Davis who lasted four years as hubby to Renny Harlin and a massive five years with Jeff Goldblum.

[@daisyhoward5472]

She might have lasted longer as the wife.

[@benjacomin]

what a guy!

[@jonathangraves7503]

THE MULLET!!!!!! Good God Jeff!!!! How's your achy, breaky, heart?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 BTW Earth girls are NOT easy... They are a HUGE pain in the ass! 🤣

[@jonathangraves7503]

Good point! Lol

[@spdadventurer1754]

His look is that time travel that takes me immediately to 90s and even 80s. And if a person who saw him later in his life like nowadays and then sees these interviews it would be so weird for them , cz his personality and everything is exactly the same but with that hair and outfit, it would be like watching a video of your uncle

[@TighelanderII]

With all of the Brits playing American Pop Culture icons, it's a shame that Goldblum hasn't been picked for Dr. Who. He might be as good as Tom Baker in the role. ( "as good"...no one will ever be greater than Mr. Baker, and I say this as someone who's not really a Dr. Who fan)

[@lindildeev5721]

He would be perfect.

[@JrunkJesus]

Fascinating.👀

[@BuckRolly1]

If he was doing a mouth-to-mouth transfer of wine to Geena Davis by the time the annoyed woman was leaving, it gives you some idea of what was transpiring beforehand so I can see why she might be a bit irritated😂😂😂

[@RachelParker-1977]

Jeff Goldblum 😍

[@kellymcphaul2793]

God, I love him so much.

[@Typical.Anomaly]

MULLET!!!

[@michaelblanchette2787]

NOT REALLY

[@thedude4672]

And a fine mullet it is.

[@UberNeuman]

Don't you mean 'National Teasure Jeff Goldblum'?

[@whenfatkillsfat803]

@@sailorjupoak He's, uh, a, yeah, international, um, treasure.

[@PIXPromosMore]

Jeff Goldblum IS Richard Lewis IN The Larry David Story!

[@askrhonnie6356]

The fly creeped me out as a kid. Traumatized for life.

[@hanselmansell7555]

Me too, omg.. still haven't got over it.. 🥴

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

And that's how a movie is good!

[@telmolourencodossantosfern8098]

Thats back in 1989 right? At least it seems to be around that!!

[@BMG19FUNNYDIE]

The Fly rules. Engrossing and gross.

[@laurieberry162]

Now he’s in his seventies. He also has a high IQ. I wonder if he speaks a foreign language.

[@haknee]

He was always like this wow

[@bradlafferty6076]

Before Jurassic Park

[@We_Reddit]

Jeff definitely acquired better fashion sense as he got older.

[@thedude4672]

True, but the way he looks here was trendy in 1989.

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

The 80s was definitely a time for fashion experimentation.

[@noemi3112000]

, ❤️😍

[@danielm3192]

This would be 1988

[@Czechbound]

18 months into a marriage. In 18 months from this interview, she divorced him.

[@DrMcMoist]

And it took him that long to finish saying his vows.

[@Czechbound]

@@DrMcMoist Ha ha, yes ! :)

[@karls.623]

Stay away from Ed!

[@MelbourneShorts11]

Tall dude

[@JCO2002]

Is it just me, or do his ears look incredibly large? The guy probably hears like a bat.

[@chiefscheider]

You know what they say about guys with big ears... Big headphones

[@freeadrian1144]

I kind of noticed that too, but I was more distracted by their movement: 10:44, 6:11, 5:05.

[@JCO2002]

@@freeadrian1144 I saw that, too. In fact, I barely listened to what he was saying because I couldn't stop staring at his ears.

[@BobbyLCollins]

I think you'll find Brundlefly hears very much like an actual fly.

[@blacklambo]

He lies well!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Married four years to Davis. That's a typical Hollywood marriage.

[@djohnspangler]

This channel is usually how I find out that people have died. Did he die?

[@thevaccinator666]

No.

[@whenfatkillsfat803]

Jeff Goldblum with a mullet. Your argument is invalid.
