Jeff Goldblum

“Wait a minute, what do mean? I’ve never done an interview with a title. This interview is called Letter to My – I’m writing it down – to My Younger Self. Hey, I’m already stimulated,” says our cover star Jeff Goldblum, who takes us on a wild ride, from traipsing after dinosaurs in Jurassic Park to playing jazz on stage at Glastonbury.

With his signature eccentric charm, the actor takes us behind the magical curtain and into the life of Jeff. “I still go with my stomach, my gizzard, about everything,” he says. “I feel like I’m still getting opportunities to grow. I feel at the height of my powers musically and theatrically.”
