HOLLYWOOD – Jeff Goldblum – star of Jurassic Park and The Fly – showed off a new tattoo earlier today… of himself!
The 61 year old actor and jazz musician said that he’d always wanted to get a tattoo of himself ever since he was a struggling theatre actor over forty years ago.
People told me not to do it because if I ever had to do a nude scene, or even take my shirt off it would be distracting. And that was true when David Cronenberg got me to strip for The Fly he said straight away ‘Thank God you don’t have a tattoo of yourself. That would be really distracting!’ So I was lucky I hadn’t done it, but nowadays no one wants me to take my shirt off so I figure I’m safe. Unless maybe Wes Anderson asks me but in that case he’ll love it. He’ll think it’s quirky.
The reception to the news was predictably explosive with some calling for Goldblum to resign from whatever it is he actually does.
Star Wars 7 will be released in 2015.
