Jeff Goldblum was spotted jogging through London this week and the photos have done what Jeff Goldblum photos always do — started a conversation that has very little to do with the actual activity and everything to do with the fact that the man is 72 years old and looks like this.
Dressed casually, moving at a comfortable pace through the city, he looked relaxed and completely at ease — the kind of person who has been doing this long enough that it requires no effort to look like it requires no effort.
The reaction online was predictable in the best possible way. Fans who have followed Goldblum since Jurassic Park in 1993 — when he was already considered one of Hollywood's more charismatic leading men — pointed out that he looks remarkably similar to the version of himself that appeared on screen over thirty years ago. The hair is silver now. Everything else appears largely unchanged.
Goldblum has spoken in interviews about his approach to staying healthy — jazz piano, which he plays seriously and performs regularly, a generally active lifestyle, and a curiosity about the world that seems to keep him genuinely engaged in a way that has nothing to do with vanity and everything to do with simply enjoying being alive.
He got married in 2014 to former Olympic gymnast Emilie Livingston. They have two sons. He has described his fifties and sixties as some of the best years of his life.
At 72, jogging through London, looking exactly like himself — it is hard to argue with his approach.
