BREAKING: Jeff Goldblum has made a significant lifestyle change, announcing he has quit eating meat just ahead of his highly anticipated role in Wicked: For Good. The actor revealed this transformation in a candid interview, stating that his work on the film deeply influenced his decision.
During an interview on The Morning, Goldblum shared that his role as the Wizard of Oz prompted him to reconsider his dietary choices. “Working with Jon Chu is amazing. It’s changed me. After doing this movie, we talked about animal cruelty, and I stopped eating meat and poultry,” Goldblum disclosed. His comments reflect a growing awareness of ethical eating and animal rights.
With the release of Wicked: For Good just around the corner on November 21, excitement is building among fans eager to see Goldblum reprise his iconic role. The film, a sequel to the blockbuster hit from 2024, adapts the second act of Stephen Schwartz’s beloved stage musical. The original film garnered immense success, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2024 and winning accolades at the 97th Academy Awards, including Best Costume Design and Best Production Design.
Goldblum expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with acclaimed director Jon M. Chu, emphasizing how this project has enriched his career. “It’s uncommon that you get to be doing this over a period of time and get more fertile and juicy and interesting and relevant roles for yourself,” he noted.
Critics are already buzzing about the potential of Wicked: For Good, with early reactions suggesting it may surpass the original. The film features a star-studded cast, including Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, alongside notable performances from Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, and Ethan Slater.
As Goldblum embraces his new vegetarian lifestyle, he advocates for a world that works for all creatures. “We need the world to work for everybody on Earth and every creature, too,” he stated passionately.
Fans are encouraged to mark their calendars for the film’s release, as anticipation continues to rise. With Goldblum’s transformation and the film’s promising trajectory, Wicked: For Good is set to leave a remarkable impact both on the screen and in the hearts of audiences worldwide.
