Jeff Goldblum responds to tweet that he’s ‘hotter than ever,’ says interns ‘earned their paycheck’
Jeff Goldblum is just being modest.
The internet heartthrob and “Jurassic Park” favorite returns along with original castmates Laura Dern, Sam Neill and BD Wong for “Jurassic World Dominion” (in theaters June 10), which premiered new footage at CinemaCon Wednesday.
Taking the stage with current franchise star Bryce Dallas Howard, Goldbum bemoaned how the “Dominion” stunts “felt more taxing” on his body than they did 30 years ago. But Howard was having none of it from the actor, who at 69, looks as youthful and fit as he did in 1993.
“I’m not taking that from you,” Howard said, pointing Goldbum to a fan tweet that reads, “Jurassic World Dominion, a movie about the original cast being hotter than ever.”
“No, I think that’s my social media interns,” Goldblum joked. “They really earned their paycheck that day. That’s what happened.”

Goldblum plans to create memories with his own family with “Dominion.” The actor shares two sons with his wife, dancer Emilie Livingston: Charlie, 7, and River, 5.
Due in part to the pandemic, the boys “have never seen a movie in a movie theater,” Goldbum said. “But I’ve already promised that this is going to be the first movie that we take them to. I can’t wait.”
