Happy Birthday Jeff Goldblum: When Jurassic Park Star Opened Up About Embracing Fatherhood In His 70s

As a dedicated follower of Jeff Goldblum‘s career and personal journey, I find myself deeply moved by his recent reflections on fatherhood. At 70 years old, this versatile actor is not just playing roles, but living them with an intensity that is truly inspiring.


Actor Jeff Goldblum, renowned for his roles in timeless films like Jurassic Park, marks another year filled with life and insight. At 70 years old, Goldblum – who became a father late in life – is experiencing the ups and downs of parenthood, as he now cares for his two young sons, Charlie and River. In an uncommon chat with The Independent, he candidly shared about the powerful emotions he encounters while nurturing his boys.

As an ardent admirer putting words into Jeff Goldblum’s shoes, I’d say: Parenting has taken me on an emotional rollercoaster ride, unveiling feelings I never knew I had. This journey is nothing short of awe-inspiring; it compels you to scrutinize your actions and behaviors. You find yourself under the microscope, examining everything you model, seeking areas for improvement. It’s a challenging yet rewarding task, offering a unique chance to become a better version of oneself.

In his new role as a father, Goldblum highlights the captivating aspect of bonding with his boys. He believes that parenthood amplifies feelings, imbuing each experience with greater significance.

Jeff Goldblum embarked on his path of fatherhood at an advanced age, a choice that has turned out to be ideal for him. Following a two-year relationship with Emilie Livingston, they tied the knot in 2014. Since then, their family has grown with the births of their sons: Charlie (born on July 4, 2015) and River (born on April 7, 2017). In conversations, Goldblum frequently speaks about his contentment for waiting until later in life to become a father.

2018 saw an interview with iNews where Goldblum discussed becoming a father at age 60. When asked about his feelings on waiting, he expressed satisfaction, stating, “I’m content I waited. It feels fantastic to experience fatherhood now because all the thoughts and considerations I have align perfectly with the significant questions and hurdles that come with raising children.

He went on to say that the timing allowed him to approach fatherhood with a greater sense of purpose and clarity. “What you want to expose them to. What you want to leave them with, what life is, and what kind of life you contribute to them,” Goldblum said.

Regardless of the heavy workload, Goldblum effectively juggles his career with his duties as a father. He remains active in major movies and TV productions, but always puts being a father first. He’s openly admitted that becoming a parent has shifted his outlook on life, causing him to redirect his attention from work towards his family.
