Jeff Goldblum Gushes About His First Time Meeting Scarlett Johansson As Her Jurassic Movie Approaches: ‘She Was Full Of Beans And Teeming With Life’

The ever-expanding "Jurassic" universe is getting big enough that we’re starting to see the bizarre career coincidences you only get from a franchise that has featured a consistent stream of A-listers over the course of the past 31 years. The cast of "Wicked," currently the world’s biggest blockbuster, features none other than "Jurassic Park" icon Jeff Goldblum, and his costars include the star of next year’s "Jurassic World" Rebirth, Jonathan Bailey. One would think that the two of them have plenty to talk about when it comes to their shared franchise, but when I brought it up, they didn’t talk about "Jurassic" at all… they just gushed about Scarlett Johansson.

00:04Have you talked about this?

00:05Have you given him advice on how to step into that?

00:08I couldn't possibly give advice as Charlie says to Willow Loman.

00:12It was like bare necessities.

00:13He was blue and I was mowgly.

00:16No, I haven't given him advice.

00:25Here I was thinking it was an original question.

00:28No, it's a great question.

00:30We both have a very, I mean, well, we've got a lot of common ground,

00:34but Scarlett Johansson is very much one of our shared favorite people, I'd say, right?

00:40Scarlett Johansson is great.

00:41I've known her, do you know?

00:42I've known her since she was a kid.

00:44Did you know that?

00:45Yeah, she told me.

00:46Oh, she told you.

00:47She and her mom, we were going to do something together.

00:48Her mom wanted us to kind of explore doing something together.

00:50When she was like 11 or 12 in the lobby of the Chateau Marmont, we had a meeting.

00:56Wow.

00:57I remember Scarlett from that.

00:58She was full of beans and teeming with life and brilliance already.

01:06No, nothing's changed.

01:07No.
