The multiple reports stating that Jeff Goldblum died today in a tragic fall while filming a movie in New Zealand are 100% false.
Having been online for longer than wed like to admit, we caught this story as a fake immediately because its originally from at least 2006.
While the story has remained the same throughout the years, the actors names have varied. Last time, it was Tom Cruise. This time, its Jeff Goldblum. In six months, itll be Zac Efron.

Well, that’s a relief! I kinda like Jeff Goldblum.
Just tell the me the story about Richard Marx is bogus. I’ve been listening to “Right Here Waiting” and bawling my eyes puffy for two hours now.
Somebody please, just kill the pain. Lie to me if you have to.
Oh no, not Zac Efron!
(who the heck is Zac Efron?)
How long will it be before something bad happens internationally because of a hoax on the Internet that cannot be immediately disproven? There have already been people on FR who are making the same statements about events in Iran.
The fact that I can even consider it certainly illustrates intentional manipulation by a fabricaton is possible (speaking generally, and not towards Iran)
It sounds like a novel, but hoaxes have been intentionally created through history for various purposes. We now have the powerful medium for transmission called “The Internet”...:)
I put a little smiley face there, but it is amazingly true that what the Internet is and does runs far and deep throughout the globe.
I nearly fell out of my hammock as I read your post at #22!
That was simply awesome! NICELY done!
Who is Jeff Goldblum?? Is he an actor, singer, etc?? In my ignorance I have never heard of him.
Lol. Wasn’t it Johnny Mountain who fainted in that movie?
I heard John Wayne died... I wonder if that’s true.
Dang, you can’t believe nothin’ on the World Wide Interweb anymore. Durn Democrats!
Jurrasic Park. Dark strange fellow with curly hair. Played a sicko version of The Fly about a decade ago.
Is there anybody else alive that I should know about?
Jack Lalanne Harry Morgan, and Herman Wouk are still kicking at 94. Frank Cady (Sam Drucker from Petticoat Junction) is still around. Ernest Borgnine is hanging in there. Beverly Cleary is hanging tough at 93.
Even Jack LaLane. Cool!
