If you are a 90s’ kid, then there is no way you were not blown away and mesmerised by Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. The film completely changed how we all perceived dinosaurs and has been ruling our hearts with its franchise. And at the helm of it was Jeff Goldblum. So to mark the 25th anniversary of the 1993 mega-blockbuster, a humongous statue of Goldblum was installed in London taking the citizens and movie buffs across the globe by surprise.
The giant 25-feet statue of Goldblum with an unbuttoned shirt, sitting down on the grass near the Tower Bridge took people by frenzy. The installation by NOW TV of his onscreen character Dr. Ian Malcolm, was moulded from one of the most iconic shot that got famous for nothing but his torso! And the sultry installation too was not much different either.
25 years ago, Jurassic Park (and one of the best moments in movie history) was born 🦕🦖

Goldblum recently reprised his role as Ian Malcolm in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in an extended cameo. The Chris Pratt starrer has been dominating the box office and has already made a billion dollars worldwide.
