During a recent appearance on the TODAY show, Jeff Goldblum demonstrated that his talents extend well beyond acting, showcasing his skills as an accomplished jazz pianist. On November 19, Goldblum appeared alongside his Wicked: For Good co-star Jonathan Bailey as they engaged with co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. As the segment progressed, Guthrie sought to conclude their discussion with a flourish, prompting Goldblum to take to the piano.<\/p>\n

Guthrie, referring to Goldblum as an \u201caccomplished jazz pianist,\u201d asked him to play a tune to lead the audience into a commercial break. With a smooth transition, Goldblum moved to a keyboard situated just off the set, delivering an impressive and spontaneous performance that left an indelible mark. His creativity was particularly evident in the original lyrics he crafted for his impromptu song, which told a whimsical tale about the vibrant city of Manhattan and a planned visit to Guthrie. <\/p>\n

The playful lyrics included lines like, \u201cWe\u2019ll buy a ticket to go see Wicked on Friday \/ But first we\u2019ll visit you, Savannah, today \/ The city\u2019s clamor will never spoil the dreams of two boys and a girl \/ We\u2019ll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy.\u201d Goldblum\u2019s clever wordplay notably managed to rhyme \u201cgirl\u201d with \u201cjoy,\u201d showcasing his quick wit and musical prowess.<\/p>\n

Fans of Goldblum had been treated to glimpses of his musical talent in various appearances, including during \u201cWicked: One Wonderful Night,\u201d which is currently available for streaming on Peacock. <\/p>\n

During the discussion, Guthrie highlighted a surprising fact: despite their prominent roles in the production, Goldblum and Bailey only share a single scene together in Wicked: For Good, where Goldblum appears as The Wizard and Bailey plays Prince Fiyero. However, their limited screen time hasn\u2019t diminished the bond they formed while traveling together on a promotional press tour for the film\u2019s U.S. release on November 21.<\/p>\n

Bailey fondly recounted his experiences with Goldblum, saying, \u201cThey say never meet your heroes \u2014 but do if it\u2019s Jeff Goldblum.\u201d The two actors reflected on their connection, mentioning that they have exchanged WhatsApp information and have developed a playful rapport. Goldblum joked about their communication, with Bailey humorously referring to \u201cmessaging pigeons,\u201d illustrating the light-hearted atmosphere that surrounded their collaboration. <\/p>\n

As their friendship evolves amid the excitement of promoting their film, Goldblum and Bailey\u2019s chemistry continues to shine, leaving fans eager for more entertaining moments from the duo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During a recent appearance on the TODAY show, Jeff Goldblum demonstrated that his talents extend well beyond acting,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-150463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
