Fear not, Jeff Goldblum is alive and well.
But not long after the news hit of Michael Jackson’s untimely death, it was announced via Twitter wildfire that Mr. Goldblum also passed away, while filming in New Zealand. Mainstream media picked up the story, but eventually Mr. Goldblum’s rep, Stan Rosenfield, alerted the world that the 56-year-old actor was among the living (and nowhere near New Zealand).
Seems the whole thing was a prank that has also been pulled on Harrison Ford, George Clooney and Natalie Portman. Still, Mr. Goldblum took it all in stride and with good humor, and even appeared on “The Colbert Report” to “confirm” he was deceased.
“No one will miss Jeff Goldblum more than me,” he said. “He was not only a friend and a mentor, but he was also, um, me. Jeff Goldblum’s performances combined the muscularity of Brando, the pathos of Streep and the musky sensuality of a pride of baboons. One former conquest raved that sleeping with Jeff Goldblum was like – quote—being caught in a flesh storm with a 90 percent chance of satisfaction—unquote. That’s verbatim.”
Glad to see Jeff hasn’t lost his life or self-confidence.
