It must be tough to only find out that you’re dead when you appear on the satirical US TV show, The Colbert Report. However Jeff Goldblum had to come to just that conclusion during his appearance on the show, following numerous reports of his demise last Thursday.
Anyone who was surfing the web for info on the death of Michael Jackson last Thursday, might have come across numerous reports that Jeff Goldblum had also died, after a fall while filming in New Zealand. With no one checking the story it spread like wildfire across Twitter, and even had stars like Kevin Spacey phoning Goldblum’s management so that he could tweet that it wasn’t true. The news also made onto some TV programmes, even though the most cursory check would have revealed Jess was in New York and very much alive.
However that didn’t stop Goldblum and Colbert getting together to mourn the Jurassic Park actor’s passing, with Jeff even offering his own eulogy. If you want to see Goldblum mourning his own death, just click below.
