Last year, Jeff Goldblum made headlines when he was caught dancing on the JumboTron at the Super Bowl. He basically proved that he’s just like the rest of us, happy to ham it up for the cameras when the situation calls for it. Well, oops he did it again! Last week, Jeff went viral once more. This time, it was at the Oscars. Someone snapped a picture of Jeff checking out his own red carpet pictures as his wife, Emilie Livingston, looked on. The picture is very meta, lol. Naturally, someone from Entertainment Tonight asked Jeff about it as he was leaving the theatre after the awards were over. His response? “I’m busted!”
Jeff Goldblum is viral and he knows it. The beloved actor was the talk of the net during this year’s Oscars presentation, as, while Ben Stiller was busy tweeting from beneath the stage, Goldblum was spotted checking himself out in the audience.
Several photos taken of Goldblum in the audience showed him scrolling through his own red carpet photos, along with his wife’s closeups and even his Wicked co-star Ariana Grande’s. Naturally, his admiration quickly went viral online.
“this photo of jeff goldblum looking at his own red carpet pic at the oscars is sending me,” one person wrote on X, while another joked, “i was also checking out jeff goldblum’s red carpet pics while watching the oscars but no one seems to care about that.”
Entertainment Tonight caught up with the Jurassic Park star on his way out, bringing his viral moment to his attention when the reporter said, “Jeff, they caught you tonight.”
“Oh my gosh, look at that—let me see,” he said, taking off his glasses for a better look at the reporter’s phone’s screen as his wife, Emilie Livingston, explained, “No, in fact, we got to our seats an hour before, so what do you do when you try to kill time?”
“Oh, that’s funny,” Goldblum interjected. “Well, I’m busted—that’s it.”
“Everybody does it,” Livingston defended, as the interviewer agreed that he had been outside doing the same thing.
“Where are more pictures of me? That’s my question,” Goldblum added.
Fans further marveled over Goldblum’s unflappable attitude, with one replying to ET’s video, “Nothing, absolutely nothing can baffle Jeff Goldblum.”
LMAO. I mean, no lies detected anywhere here. First, everyone checks out pictures of themselves for one reason or another. I totally do it. I still sometimes look at a picture that I posted of myself from my birthday last month just to make sure I don’t regret it. Second, what else are you supposed to do when you’re super early to a big event that’s all over social media? Again, I’d totally check out what the Internet was saying about my co-stars and me. Jeff, still proving that he’s just like us. Third, why aren’t there more pictures of Jeff? That man is wearing a pretty awesome Prada suit ensemble and there should have been more attention paid to it. Justice for Jeff’s fashion! Finally, and this is just an aside, but Mr. Rosie and I watched Wicked again this weekend, this time with the kids, and I’m re-blown away at how great it was. I was a skeptic when the trailer came out last year, but I publicly repent. It’s just so freaking good.
