Can the real Jeff Goldblum please stand up?
The Wicked: For Good star was left baffled after being introduced to his wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York on Wednesday, and the internet can’t decide whether to be impressed or terrified.
Which is real, though? We’ll give you a minute.
In case you were having trouble, Goldblum’s wax figure is wearing a white shirt, pants and a matching jacket, which he rocked with his signature black framed glasses.
Just kidding, but you definitely just did a double-take.
The real Jeff, posing in all white, couldn’t get over how lifelike his wax counterpart looked as he inspected the work of art on the red carpet at the unveiling.
“That’s pretty good. I’m very impressed,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s so lifelike! Everything is very correct.”
He then teased: “Gee! Through my peripheral vision, I just thought he moved. Is that possible?”
The internet subsequently went into meltdown over the unveiling, with some fans genuinely having trouble figuring out which of the two Jeffs was real.
“Wait, why does the wax figure look more lifelike?” said one fan on Reddit.
“The real Jeff is in the white suit,” confirmed one fan, to which another replied: “Lol that’s the one I thought was the fake one!”
“This might be the best one I’ve ever seen,” insisted one impressed fan, with another commenting: “Wait I’m scared this is the most realistic one I’ve ever seen!”
While another fan added: “That’s not Jeff and his statue, that’s Jeff and his twin”.
Meanwhile, Goldblum plays the Wizard in the two-part film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Wicked.
The movie hits cinemas this weekend and is predicted to smash box office records.
“It was like a kindergarten set all the time,” director Jon Chu told The Post.
“Everyone was playing. I mean, Johnny [Bailey] and Ari [Grande] together is insane. Then you throw Bowen [Yang] in there and Cynthia [Erivo]!”
Although Chu was popular among his cast, he added that he sometimes felt like he “had to be a teacher.”
“The spirit of the movie had to be like that,” he explained. “And so we had to always play, and they had to trust that I would protect them in the edits. And I think that comes out of it. So that was really fun.”
