A Statue Modeled After Jeff Goldblum Appears In London In Honor Of ‘Jurassic Park’

Amongst Jeff Goldblum‘s prosperous acting career, 1993’s Jurassic Park stands tall as one of his most memorable roles. In commemoration of the film’s 25th anniversary, a statue of the actor in his character of Dr. Ian Malcolm was erected in London.

A STATUE OF JEFF GOLDBLUM APPEARS IN LONDON

Those who’ve seen Jurassic Park may recall a scene where Goldblum, surviving a tyrannosaurs attack, relaxed by sitting on his side. His shirt was open too, exposing his bear chest.

NowTV, a streaming service, remembered that scene vividly, enough so to model a statue after it. The replica is rather sizable, sitting at 330 pounds and 25 feet. The statue debuted on Wednesday, lying along Potters Field, giving it a scenic view of the Tower Bridge.

One fellow on Twitter commented about the “nonsensical” nature of the sculpture, noting that the film’s anniversary was one month ago and how neither the actor nor movie have anything to do with London.

25ft Jeff Goldblum statue pops up in London to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park, which was June 11th, a month ago. Also none of the movie was filmed in London nor is Jeff Goldblum a native of the English capital. So let’s just bask in its nonsensical glory. pic.twitter.com/TKQKozleMn

Goldblum, meanwhile, remains dedicated to his craft, appearing in films such as Thor: Ragnarok and the brand new Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, reprising the role of Dr. Malcolm in the latter.
