That moment between Jeff and Judd Hirsch in Independence Day is one of my favourite moments, a parent telling their child their proud of them is a powerful moment in the movie.

[@Yungbeck]

Now I'm gonna cry to Independence Day too

[@meandi5956]

He looks younger in Independence Day than he did in Jurassic Park. And him crying 🥺

[@Varekai0723]

No beard in ID4.

[@jawbone78]

It was just a couple of years apart, and hair and makeup can very easily make a person look years older or younger.

Jeff always sounds like the smartest guy in the room. Love his cadence.

[@rossbooth4635]

...cadence? I looked it up. Thank you for teaching me second definition of that word lol.

[@TrumbullComic]

I loved how sincerely emotional Jeff Goldblum gets. That dude's the real deal. I'm also amazed that Ariana Grande saw The Pillowman at age ELEVEN. If you've seen that show, that's nuts. (I played Goldblum's role Tupolski in a community theatre production about 10 years back, and that show is INTENSE.)

[@sportslover3103]

The fact that he even knows and acknowledges the makeup people too He cares so much about his job and the people around him

[@SVUE-jj9jc]

I first saw Jeff in that movie, “Transylvania 6-5000” and then “The Fly” as a kid. I really enjoyed his career and glad it’s still going strong. Thank you for entertaining us fans for years. 👏I carry a lot of 80’s 90’s nostalgia in my creativity. I grew up a big John Hughes fan. RIP 🙏 Mr. Hughes

[@moisespalacios396]

Did we just become best friend?!😂 yes to all this

[@carolinehaf21]

He's SUCH a sweetheart. Truly vulnerable and emotive human being with a beautifully unique vocal cadence. Could listen for hours, thank you Vanity Fair!

[@AeroDude73]

Yes!!! This is the best description of him ever. ❤

[@ChrisValentine12384]

His emotions when watching Independence Day is so raw and beautiful. Men, it's ok to cry, don't be afraid to let it all out when necessary.

[@krisstopher8259]

i only cry after a few glasses of wine and to ridiculous things, lol

[@jool4867]

It’s never OK for men to cry. The second you do it, everyone around you thinks you are weak.

[@deepbluebeer]

​@@jool4867 Don't ever let anyone shape the way you feel about yourself because they don't know you, only you know you, and if you let everyone's opinions linger in your mind eventually you'll believe them yourself

[@Blanco8x8]

The tears out of Jeff's eyes really shows that Independence Day is not just a movie about an alien invasion. It is a very human experience, to leave the people you love, to a battle for survival against all odds. The emotions are justified.

[@filmania]

One of the most heart felt actors that ever lived. His tears and compassion for his characters show how deep the emotional journey is off and on screen. Jeff we love you so much ❤❤❤

[@ProGamer-2020-on6]

Jeff is emotional when it comes to watching memorable scenes for his career like ID4 or Wicked. Overall, he has been a kind soul to us all.

[@ShugAveri]

Wasn't allowed to watch The Fly when I was little. Snuck and watched. Had nightmares for weeks. Fell in love with Jeff Goldblum!

[@jelanitarik8452]

0:31 - a JVC Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) 0:32 - a Toshiba remote 😁 As Mr Goldblum would say “Details, baby” It’s always a treat to watch you Mr Goldblum! Watching you is making me very emotional Jeff 😢

[@jjd8616]

"Real power lies in a persons ability to tell the truth, be honest, be authentic, know themselves, connect with themselves and others, and to lift others up and to leave others better than they found them. That's a real powerful person."

[@nannettefreeman7331]

I saw Jeff playing keyboards with Depeche Mode in 1994. He’s an absolute BEAST of the Arts, across so many disciplines. And pretty easy on the eyes as well! ✌🏼😍

[@jeshkam]

Wait...what???

[@krisstopher8259]

Jeff is a funny acting genius and a big emotional baby and probably one of the nicest guys ever in hollywood or even on earth. I'm sure he's a great dad too. Just tons of iconic roles. He's never boring, in a movie or outside it

[@EarnestEgregore]

Dude is unbelievable in Kaos… I would watch him in anything… recently saw Vibes for the first time, instant fave

Casting of Independence Day was awesome. Especially Judd Hirsch. He had such a small role, but played it so well

[@JamilSmith]

He’s a wonderful guy. When I met him, though, I asked him about “Deep Cover” (w/ Laurence Fishburne”) and he lit up. Perhaps he can do a second video in which he talks about that and films like “Earth Girls Are Easy.”

[@SupergirlSurprise]

The way Jeff reacted to Independence Day is really how audiences saw the movie in 1996 you just get sucked up in the moments, no matter how cheesy the film is, there was truth in the moment. It really is a well directed film by Roland Emmerich.
