Maybe as a deranged killer in his 1974 screen debut in \u003cem\u003eDeath Wish\u003c\/em\u003e? Maybe as a cynical journalist in 1983's \u003cem\u003eThe Big Chill\u003c\/em\u003e? Or a brilliant if egotistical scientist-turned-fly in 1986's \u003cem\u003eThe Fly\u003c\/em\u003e? Perhaps as the wise-cracking skeptical mathematician in 1993's \u003cem\u003eJurassic Park\u003c\/em\u003e? Or maybe you're not a film buff but noticed his face as part of one of the Internet's earliest memes. Who knows?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhenever it was, you've probably noticed that Goldblum has become one of Hollywood's most enduring actors, someone who only seems to grow more famous, more heralded, more beloved through the decades, even though he's always followed his own, strange muse. The guy primarily plays jazz music these days, but is more famous than ever. Actor, pianist, husband, father, style icon, meme. Goldblum contains multitudes, but why? What does he mean?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/em\u003e's Travis M. Andrews decided to find out. And so he set out on a journey through Goldblum's career, talking to directors like Lawrence Kasdan and Philip Kaufman, colleagues like Harry Shearer and Billy Crudup, and pop culture experts like Chuck Klosterman and Sean Fennessey, to get to the bottom of this whole Goldblum thing. And then he took what he learned and he wrote this book, which is titled \u003cem\u003eBecause He's Jeff Goldblum\u003c\/em\u003e and is the best thing written since \u003cem\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/em\u003e and slightly easier to follow. But you should already know that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this new semi-biography, semi-rumination, and semi-ridiculous look at the career of Goldblum, Andrews takes you behind the scenes of his iconic movies, explores the shifting nature of fame in the twenty-first century, and spends far too much time converting Goldblum's name into various forms of speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWant to hear how Goldblum saved a script supervisor from an amorous baboon? Or what he would write on the mirror after taking showers when he was a teenager? How about his feelings on various brands of throat lozenges? (That one could be an entire book unto itself.) Then this is the book for you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46370000470252,"sku":"9781524746032","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24053623482730.jpg?v=1744801898"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/travis-m-andrews.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
