The "Jurassic Park" actor met his lifelong idol backstage on Broadway during a recent performance of George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck."
Fear not, mere mortals, as even world-famous Hollywood actors can get starstruck.
Jeff Goldblum joined Thursday’s edition of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” to promote his latest jazz album, only to reveal that he encountered his lifelong idol at a recent Broadway performance of George Clooney’s play “Good Night, and Good Luck.”
“I saw the great George Clooney and his wonderful play, very important, very great, but I found out shortly before we went, guess who’s also going to be there?” Goldblum teased. “Paul McCartney. Paul... McCartney. I have never met Paul McCartney.”
“I was very excited,” he admitted. “And then sure enough, after the play, I was looking and we both got a chance to go backstage and meet George and the cast. I saw him in the flesh for the first time ever, and there he was. My golly, I’m very starstruck.”
Goldblum has starred in some of the highest-grossing franchises of all time, including “Jurassic Park” and “Guardians of the Galaxy,” but is also a fervent musician who came of age when The Beatles conquered the world — and said McCartney “means a lot” to him.
