An outstanding actor, producer and musician Jeff Goldblum was welcomed in 1952. His acting path began from Broadway in 1969 when he appeared in a musical Two Gentlemen of Verona. In 1974 he debuted on a big screen in a movie called Death Wish.
However, the actor rose to prominence only in the end of the 1980s when he featured in a film The Fly. After that he started appearing in dozens of successful TV projects, including various TV series, TV shows and of course, he didn’t give up performing on Broadway.
Apart from being a brilliant movie star, Goldblum is also a talented jazz pianist.
And now, let’s discover some interesting facts about people who surround such a gifted Hollywood star!
The actor’s father Harold worked as a physician at a hospital. Here is a curious fact: before pursuing a career in the medical industry, Harold wanted to try his skills as an actor but changed his mind. He was married only once to Shirley and together with her parented four children. They had been living together for several decades until Harold’s death in 1983, at the age of 62.
The mother Shirley dedicated all her life to raising kids. When they grew up, she started working as a sex therapist as well as a radio broadcaster. It would be interesting to know that it was Shirley who made Jeff learn to play the piano, as she was a music fan. And now, he is still grateful to her for that. She died in 2012, aged 85.
The famous actor has three siblings. The oldest one was a brother Rick, who was delivered in 1948. Unfortunately, he died at 23 because of kidney failure.
One more brother is named Lee and he is a professional real estate broker, who lives in Pittsburgh.
The only female kid in a family is a sister Pamela, who was born in 1955. She works as a professor of Fine Arts at the University. Also, she is married to Jeff Kaisershot.
As for Goldblum’s personal life, he was married thrice with an actress Patricia Gaul being his first spouse. They couple tied the knot in 1980 but six years later divorced.
The second wife was Geena Davis, who is also an actress. In one of the interviews, Jeff shared that they didn’t even plan to get married but once, driving through Las Vegas, they risked it all and got hitched. This union was short-lived and had been lasting since 1987 till 1990.
In 2014 the celebrity walked a dancer and rhythmic gymnast Emilie Livingston down to the altar and they have been living happily ever since. The two love birds met in 2011 and for Jeff it was love at first sight. After three years of dating, they tied the knot and are now parents to two adorable kids.
The couple’s firstborn is a son Charlie, who was delivered in 2015 when Goldblum was 62. According to the actor, he never seriously thought of becoming a dad and especially at such an age. Nonetheless, he is now feeling blessed with two children and fully enjoys fatherhood.
The second son River was welcomed in 2017. Both sons were present at the ceremony when their dad received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
