00:00How are you?

00:02Some enchanted evening, you may see, etc, etc.

00:09Nice to see you.

00:11I miss you horribly.

00:13You look fantastic.

00:15May I say, is that a band-aid on your arm?

00:17What did you do, get a shot today?

00:18Oh, I didn't get a shot.

00:19That's a piece of tape.

00:20But thank you so much, Mr. Jeff Goldblum.

00:22What is it like in there?

00:23I love your stream of consciousness.

00:25I love when you just go and tell us everything.

00:27What's going on up there and what's going on in there?

00:30You know, just what you see.

00:32You see everything I do.

00:34Look at that, you know.

00:36What an eyeful.

00:38What an eyeful.

00:39That's lovely.

00:40Actually, I've already seen a couple of friends that I hadn't seen,

00:43that I wouldn't get an occasion to see otherwise.

00:45So that's awful nice.

00:46Look at your shining faces.

00:48That's sweet as sugar pop cereal.

00:52You're always so stylish.

00:54I'm noticing that you have two different glasses.

00:56Is this green a nod to Wicked at all?

00:59Oh, possibly.

01:02What know you of Wicked?

01:04Are you interested in the Wicked?

01:07Jeff, can you tell me one thing that you haven't told anyone else on the carpet?

01:11You always tell me the best thing that we can look forward to when it comes to Wicked.

01:15I can't hold anything back when I gaze into those peepers.

01:18What can I tell you?

01:22Well, I'm very interested in tonight's artistic assignment

01:27and the theme of Garden of Time,

01:30how you can hold back inevitable destruction

01:34and how we can enjoy the moment and turn it into something beautiful.

01:38I enjoy that theme.

01:41And then I can tell you in the meat and potatoes file

01:45that I got something coming out on Netflix in August

01:48called Chaos, K-A-O-S, that you may like.

01:53It's about the Greek gods.

01:57A new twist.

02:00A modern twist. And guess who I play?

02:03Zeus.

02:04Zeus, exactly.

02:05Wait, really? Of course you do because you're a god.

02:08You're everything, Jeff Goldblum.

02:11What has been so fun about playing Zeus or diving into Zeus?

02:15That's a good question.

02:18Well, this particular Zeus, I can't ruin some surprises,

02:24but he has got a complicated past and family relationship.

02:35You know, he's got a bunch of...

02:37I'm married to my sister, that's first of all,

02:39for a couple of thousand years now,

02:41played by the great Janet McTeer,

02:43and I've got some children

02:46with who I'm struggling to do the right thing,

02:50but they've got strong personalities and this and that.

02:54And then I've got a couple of brothers

02:56that are part of the organization and the effort

02:59that we're trying to make,

03:01but that becomes a volatile, difficult situation and...

03:04Sounds like chaos.

03:06It is chaos.

03:07And it's a little bit related, not unrelated to

03:09and adjacent to the theme tonight.

03:13We think that life is smooth sailing,

03:17but there's evidence that there's imminent destruction and loss

03:22and that we have to face loss, just like we all do.

03:25And so my character needs to struggle with that.

03:29That's one thing.

03:30And then Wicked comes out in November.

03:33Have you met Taika Waititi before?

03:35Have I met him?

03:36We did Thor Ragnarok together.

03:38Are you kidding?

03:39Taika, Jeff, have you guys seen each other?

03:41Taika!

03:43Look at these silver foxes.

03:44Reunion for the ages!

03:46Guys, look at these silver foxes

03:47really showing up at the Met this year.

03:49Wolves!

03:50When was the last time you guys saw each other?

03:53At the Oscar party two years ago.

03:57Two years ago, yes, that's right.

03:59We have an age today.

04:01Taika, how excited are you to see Jeff Goldblum in Wicked?

04:05I'm excited to see Jeff Goldblum in any festival of my life.

04:09Just in my peripheral and even right in the direct vision.

04:14I'm more excited.

04:15Especially in your brown leather.

04:17Oh yeah.

04:18If I can make it six more steps, I can take off these gloves.

04:21Go, go!
